* 29/07/2015: pieces of '''''lacón''''' for lunch at the UAM, she chewed them quite a lot although they were not very big and slippery (seemed to like the flavour), not much gagging. For dinner, she took the whole menu for the first time, the same we were having: three grilled '''asparagus''', spinach '''pasta''', '''melon''' for dessert. She enjoyed everything and spent a long time with each item, putting it into the mouth with the whole hands, holding to every piece until it fell on the floor. The asparagus was a good choice despite being very soft and long. She was bending it to fit her little mouth. The pasta was fun because it was quickly broken into little pieces that we wanted to taste. She likes melon a lot, maybe because it is already familiar. | * 29/07/2015: pieces of '''''lacón''''' for lunch at the UAM, she chewed them quite a lot although they were not very big and slippery (seemed to like the flavour), not much gagging.

She loves it! |
* 01/08/2015: roasted '''eggplant''' and '''leek''' with some '''nectarine''' and '''paraguaya''' for dessert. The eggplant had some skin that she could grasp and leak, she actually swallowed some pieces that appeared in her poo. She liked it a lot and did not stopped until it was all destroyed and maybe some inside her. The leak was less successful, it was a stick but quite slippery. Could not hold it well. Fruit is always good but she was a bit tired already and only carved and ate a bit of flesh. | * 01/08/2015: roasted '''eggplant''' and '''leek''' with some '''nectarine''' and '''paraguaya''' for dessert.

Baby-led weaning can be defined as "letting your child feed themselves from the very start of weaning... You just hand them the food in a suitably-sized piece and if they like it they eat it and if they don’t they won’t.... No purees, no ice cube trays, no food processor, no potato masher, no baby rice, no weird fruit and veg combos... just you and your child, eating food that you enjoy with you and your family." [1]
This is something we are doing with Julia since 27 June (2015) when she was roughly six months of age, that is, when she can sit up and grab things and bring them to her mouth (reach for food alone).
We are preparing time lapses recording her eating a couple of times a week to see the evolution through the months. Something like these people but for longer durations.

Más consejos de Carlos González:
Una conducta alimentaria sana se guía por claves internas (hambre y saciedad), y no por claves externas (presiones, promesas, castigos, publicidad...). los expertos creen que muchos problemas de la adolescencia y la vida adulta, como el hacer dieta de forma obsesiva o el comer compulsivamente, provienen de haber aprendido en la primera infancia, a comer según claves externas. Hágale a su hijo un regalo para toda la vida: permita que aprenda a comer según sus propias necesidades y no según una tabla de calorías.
