Impact of a modified version of baby-led weaning on dietary variety, nutrients and food preferences in
infants
Brittany Morison

B
aby-led weaning (BLW) is a form of complementary
feeding where the baby feeds themselves foods that
they can pick up right from the start of complementary
feeding. It appears to be gaining popularity in the United
Kingdom and New Zealand. However, the published
evidence available in this area is very limited. Baby-Led
Introduction to Solids (BLISS) is a modified version of BLW,
and the BLISS study is the first randomized controlled trial
of a baby-led approach to complementary feeding in the
world. It aims to address this current gap and determine
whether a baby-led approach is associated with potential
health benefits or risks in infants through to 2 years of age.
