Baby led weaning
Hello doc, I'm 13 months old baby's mom. I started baby led weaning recently. When I offer meals he just throw food and didn't eat. It happened continuously about week. When he hungry he only wants milk. When I offer food he started crying. . I feed him but he just eat few bites that's all. So I thought baby led weaning will be the best option.
I'm worrying about him. Please suggest me something.

1. Fix milk timing
• Offer solids first
• Milk after meals or between meals
• Total milk: ≤ 500 ml/day
• Avoid milk 1 hour before meals
2. Combine Baby led weaning with responsive feeding
Offer soft finger foods,Sit and eat together,You may assist-feed a few bites without forcing,Stop when baby turns head away
3. consider 3 meals + 2 snacks daily,Sit at table/high chair
With No distractions like no TV, phone
Meals should last 20–30 minutes only
If he doesn’t eat ,end meal calmly
