Gluten-free? I’ve got you covered. If you want to try the baby-led weaning method, but your little one has allergies, I have some easy recipe ideas you’ll want to check out!
We had SO much success using the baby-led weaning method with our first baby and I am already looking forward to round 2 later this year.
Luckily for us, our first baby does not have any food allergies so she is literally able to eat anything and everything, and we’ll see about baby 2 on the way.
But after chatting with different mom-friends and doing some reading, it really hit me that even when it comes to feeding a baby, we all need a variety of ideas to fit our family’s needs.
Living with food allergies can be exhausting.
- Reading food labels
- Asking waiters
- Researching recipes
- ETC.
Feeding your baby shouldn’t have to be complicated. In fact, it should be easy and fun.
One of the main points of baby-led weaning is that your little one should eat exactly what you’re eating.
No special purees or “baby food” – just real people food cut into appropriately-sized portions. It’s important to note, however, that self-feeding is not for every baby.
With that being said, having a child with food allergies shouldn’t deter you from giving the BLW method a try.
That’s why today I’ve compiled some favorite gluten-free baby-led weaning recipes to share with you.

These are great options for Baby led weaning. I wish I knew about them when we went through the baby led weaning stage. They look pretty yummy as well.
Thanks! Some of these are on regular rotation in our house!
Im so excited to do BLW with baby #3! Our first was a puree baby and our second was BLW- guess whose a better eater? ๐
