I'm 22 and have yet to even have a child myself, but my partner and I are exploring who we want to be as parents now and learn ahead rather than later. I'm so glad I found this channel, it's so inspiring and hopeful! Your videos make an amazing discussion starter for us, and I even checked-out one of the books you recommended in your previous videos "The Montessori Toddler" by Simone Davies. BLW is totally new to me so I'm looking forward to watching your upcoming videos on it! Also, watching the little throw back clips of Kylie when she was younger made my day as I'm sure it made yours while editing.
Your channel is so amazing. Although I always knew children are much smarter than most people believe and your channel shows people how children can excel in the right environment. I just love it!
I keep commenting but as an ECE this is AMAZING!! We have expectations that toddlers know how to use utensils and regular cups by at most 18 months. I am seeing so many children who are really stunted in their development because of “baby friendly” stuff.
We did a combination. Our son was very interested in food because he was always at the table with us at mealtimes. We stated when he turned 4 months old (which seems to be commonly recommended in Europe?), so we went with mashed carrots and then sweet potato and spinach and spoon fed him. But it was immediately clear that he wants to grab the spoon and feed himself, so we ended up introducing finger foods around the age of 6 months. Both work really well and he never struggled with either.
I love baby led weaning so much! My five month old has been joining us for meals for a couple weeks now with a num num baby spoon. She's teething so she loves the spoon haha! We're so excited to start solids when she's able to sit up unassisted, etc. Can't wait to watch your mini series, perfect timing for us :) With our first child, BLW just made meals so stress free! Messy as heck but otherwise so easy. Unfortunately, our first kid ended up being such a picky eater anyway 😂😬 The glass cup thing freaks me out a bit. The videos of Kylie really show it's legit, but lol!
maiynnai Totally. My oldest (girl) would be fine, but my 3 year old boy would break the cup to make us mad. He is in OT and has difficulty regulating his body and emotions.
I don’t do 100% Montessori but I did do baby led weaning and I’m so glad I did. My daughter has been feeding herself without a mess since 14 months old. She’s not a picky eater and I really think that baby led weaning is the reason. I gave her the real foods that we were eating and since my diet isn’t made up of Mac n cheese and chicken nuggets 😉 she was exposed to such a variety. After watching your vlog I realized that we trust her with a ceramic plate and bowl but she uses a munchkin 360 cup lol. Guess I’ll be looking into some glassware for her now. Thanks for your tips!
I started following you when my baby is 6 months, trying to catch up with your guidance because I find your content very very useful and flexible. You are very talented and passionate indeed and I am sure there are many many mothers and fathers there that feeling grateful for your presence. Thanks a lot
I've been following you for few months now, you are an inspiration for me.i have a 19 month old son. As a ftm I really needed some advice on parenting because I really don't like the traditional parenting as it involves hurting shouting threatening etc to discipline the child. Sometimes i question myself am I doing the right thing or not on my raising approach but when I found your videos, I was really happy to that I'm doing okay and also I like learn your approach and use it Thank you so much for making videos. Keep it coming..
I tried baby led weaning with my eldest. It didn't work for us, but I have to admit she isn't a great eater, so any approach would have failed. Despite the many obvious advantages of BLW, I went straight to pureed foods with my second. The intake from pureed foods is much greater. Take an avocado, for example, mash it up, it will amount to a couple teaspoons and will be gone in a minute. However, if you cut an avocado up into pieces, the child will take ages to finish it and they seem incapable of staying interested for that long. Thanks for your videos, I have learned a lot from your videos about the Montessori approach. I really appreciate you doing this!
I'm so exited about this and the new series. My baby is 7 months old, but we've been doing "spoon food" since 4 months, and she loves it! We started introducing more squishy food with texture within the last month or so, and we're over the "don't-like-texture" reactions. I'm so anxious to see how Mia responds and how we can further educate our daughter about food and help her enjoy it. Thank you for taking the time to help us understand sharing your sweet family.
It's funny to realize that I had already been using a semi Montessori approach to eating when it comes to using regular plates, glasses, and silverware. I hate having a ton of plastic so I never did buy plastic plates. I would have skipped the sippy cup for the most part if I would have started learning about Montessori sooner. I'm loving it.
I'm so thankful for everything you share in the videos, it's priceless! I didn't know what i exactly was looking for my baby's breeding and I found you and I've felt in love with this method. I'm four months pregnant and I'm glad I'm learning so much before he is born, thank you! I'll be waiting that BLW series. Greetings from Mexico!😊
Your videos are so helpful. I’m a new mama with a 3 month old and I’m approaching it the Montessori way, so this is super appreciated! 💕 gorgeous girls and a beautiful mum!
Great information! I can’t wait for your video about behavior during meal time. My daughter is a breastfeed baby and I keep hearing she eats the food but nanny can’t get her to drink anything until I get home. I take it as “she’s full“ but She is just 11 months and as you know the pumped milk should be her main food source. She knows perfectly well how to drink from her glass cup but just refuses to take liquids while I’m gone 😔
So far I've been doing a mix of purees, specially prunes (no rice cereal) for his digestion and also offering him whole food to experiment. It does seem kind of expensive to do full Montessori thing sometimes? Maybe that's just a perception of mine. I'm going to try the glasses and prepare for some throwing lol. Oddly enough he just chews on this sippy cup I bought him but he drinks from a cup when I bring it up to his face! Thank you so much for this video and I'm excited to see the BLW series 😊
I love your videos!!!! I still dont have kids but i will be doing the montessori method. I'd be great if you did a video with your daughter for real examples. Kisses from México 💖
My daughter was never interested in eating the things she could hold in her hand. She would eat a banana I gave her but never the one that was cut in pieces and put on a plate in front of her. Now she is almost 14 mo and she just started to eat by herself with a spoon. I guess every child is different and we need to adjust our approach to them.

My 13 months girl goes to a certified Montessori and your videos keep me informed and watching her daycare :) thanks for doing this.
I love that Montessori lets your children learn that the world is safe and they can do things, rather than the world is unsafe and we as parents need to interpret the world for them.
These high level summaries are exactly what I need as a parent looking ahead. My daughter is 4 mo and her grandma is talking about high chairs already but I had a feeling we weren’t going to use one. Not sure yet! Maybe the lead weaning table is too much to start with but I think we’ll try.
Love all this info, being a first time mom there are so many types of feeding habits and I want to allow my baby to self eat, self help, self learn it’s a great approach to me to help with child independence
Thank you thank you thank you for tackling this topic! I have a 6 month old girl, and we are just starting solids. Can’t wait for your mini series, it’s just what I need!
I use a tiny mason jar for my toddler from a young age. She did start on a stainless steel spout thermos but the suction didn’t work well so I just used a stainlesssteel straw in my glass for her & we use our chip resistant Corelle dishes & mugs. The only special dish she had were silicon spoons because I thought they would be gentle on her gums & teeth when she got them. I did ebf for the 1st year & yeah they say with food at that age they will only be eating like a couple tablespoons or something.
I didn't know what baby led weaning was, but my 9 month old baby did not like the cereal and baby foods so I went straight to soft finger foods when she started eating. I love your videos, thank you for all that you share with us.
Thank you for the tips. My baby, Zelda is 8 months old and we already start BLW when she was 7 months old. First, there was so many gagging, but then it goes well. Sometimes she eats, sometimes she doesn't. And I agree, food before 1 years old is just for fun. My baby likes to hold her own spoon. I hope she could be independent like Kylie 😊❤
Thanks for the video! It would be great if you can do a video demonstrating how to teach the baby how to drink with a glass cup and using adult plate :) I have a three month old now and prepping myself haha
As you said this is pretty difficult way as I know and what I did to my baby~ Sounds like a better way for me to do it when I have my second baby~ One of my friends is struggling about how to start doing baby food for her first kid, and I am sharing her this definitely~ I guess she will have a question about when did you start the first baby meal? Look forward to tomorrow's video now~
Great video! Greetings from London! Thanks for the nanas manners cutlery recommendation! I'm always disappointed when alot of the items you recommend aren't shipped to the UK! Am starting baby led weaning with my 6mth old and looking forward to your series! 😊
Love this & thank you for including the videos of your little using her silverware and cup! Such a testament to the meathod Lookin forward to your mealtime behavior expectations video!
Excellent tips... thank you. I find Montessori led parenting/ childrearing so useful for both the parent as well as the children. Love from an Australian mama 🤗🤗
My 5 month old has been exclusively breastfed and is totally ineffective at using her bottle. She is already showing a lot of interest in drinking from a cup though! She's capable of swallowing from it when I offered! My question is should I just bypass the bottle and go straight to a cup with breastmilk? Thanks for all the wonderful content, Ashley! Discovering your channel has been a game changer
Thank you for the video. I was wondering about the part that if a child eats on his own table.. how is the family supposed to be seated during dinner time? I mean, how will we be able to sit together as a family?
I'm so glad I came across your channel. You explain everything so well!! My daughter is Mia's age and I'm so excited to try blw with her. I feel more confident now seeing your experience! You are amazing!!!
Hey, looking forward to the blw series. One Qs- are you planning a video/section on introducing cutlery and open glass in detail? That will be super helpful.
@@HapaFamily great. Thanks. BLW evolves as a baby grows into toddlerhood, and we need to keep thinking of how to introduce the next step with that. This will help
Thank you for a very informative video. It was also great to throwback to baby Kylie - too cute! Hope the remodel has wrapped up, and you guys are settling into your daily routines again.
I love your hybrid approach (High chair + tiny tables)! I learnt recently that it’s good to have footrest in the high chair- something that ikea doesn’t have. Do you have a recommendation/something you used maybe?
I am so grateful to have seen this video! My toddler just turned 23 months old and I find myself showing her videos to distract her and I feed her to make sure that she eats. Otherwise she will not eat 🙈. She throws the cup and silverware. What would you do?
Take the screen away during meal time so she can focus on her food. Eat the same meals with her to model for her. Do give it time for her to readjust, but once she doesn't expect the screen, it will be less of a battle. :)
To bad I didn’t had your videos before. I tried this approach, but didn’t did it properly, so I was just like everyone, and now my son is 3 and a half and a very pickie eater. Some times it’s very difficult. I will try this again with the next one.
I love the way you decorated your room in this video! Exactly how I want to do my kids room! Would you mind where you bought the shelves behind you? Perhaps sharing the links?
Man i wish i had known about that discount code for the kiwico box. I just paid full price. Ty for the video, though. Definitely clicking the links and taking some recommendations.
Great content. Do you have a video practice positive parenting during meal time. I find myself saying if you finish abc you can have xyz and I love your approach with Montessori
Hi Ashley, please share how to get a four year old to eat. We haven’t had issues with eating up until I became “noticeably” pregnant with our second daughter. Our older girl was 2.5 at the time. Since then eating became progressively worse and just a miserable process for everyone. It began from her asking me to feed her because she’s “baby”, which I went along with, to simply refusing to eat. I offer her choices and ask her what she wants to eat, yet still when it comes down to it. She procrastinates as much as she can by going off doing other things and I have to bring her to the table if I can’t stop her from leaving immediately. We’ve always been sitting down to eat together and still do. She just refuses to pick up the spoon or if she does just plays with it. The worst thing of she gets hungry she becomes HANGRY.
I appreciate your videos. I am already seeing an improvement in my 4 year old. I'm late getting into this. How did I not know about Montessori 4 years ago?
I have implemented many of the Montessori methods with all my children without knowing! My daughter is 11 months old and feeds herself at every meal. She does have a 360 cup but also uses a regular small cup. I’m going to try to find a baby temper glass cup. I love raising independent children it makes parenting so much easier!! All my kids showered themselves at age 5. I would go in just to double check their hair but that’s it. My children also dressed themselves by age 3. I’m curious to know what you do for restroom time. Do your children wipe themselves when they go #2? My children didn’t do this until 6-7 years old.
She tries to wipe for pee and then I go in afterward because we had an issue recently where she wasn't wiping well enough and things got a little sore. She does not wipe for #2 (primarily because I've never prompted her to even try). I just do it for her, I figure until she's got wiping for pee down pat and appears otherwise ready.
I loved it Ashley! I can't wait to see your video tomorrow😍 This is perfect, as next month my son will be 6 months old and i'll be starting him on food🥑🍐🍌😍
Very helpful video! Thank you! But from what i understand, once your baby can crawl, he eats at a different table, not with the rest of the family? I’m not sure if i understand well this part. Thank you !!
Hi, great video but do you give the baby her milk in the glass cup as well. My baby is 6 months old and I give her milk in the morning and just before bedtime in a bottle. Do you use a glass cup instead??
Thanks for the video. In BLW all family eats together at the same table. So if a baby seats at her own little table then she is kind of not eating together with the rest. What is your opinion on this?
Love your channel. So just found you and Montessori for babies lol. I’m thinking of getting a new high chair and a weaning table. However, we like teaching our 14 month old to sit with us for meals. You have 2 babies so it might be different, but do they sit at the weaning table as you eat or they always eat on their own? Im thinking about doing high chair and table sometimes but I’m not sure...
When Kylie was younger, she always sat at her weaning table and I’d usually sit with her. Once she was able to climb in/out of her current junior chair safely (about 15-16 months), we transitioned her to the family table with us. Mia is currently in a high chair but will be moving to a weaning table once she begins crawling. 👍🏻😊
Thanks for this great video. I'm a father to a 3 year old. My wife and I regret for not providing such opportunity to our daughter. As of today she has an issue when it comes to eating. She needs tv or forms of distraction ( life she needs to be lifted or allow her to use her cycle) while eating and at the same time she gets glued to the screen and wouldn't swallow the food until we pause the video and compel her to swallow the food. There are times where we attempted to let her take her own time to chew and swallow,but nothing positive. She's happy to have that in her food for all day. Foods like chips/ banana / water melon she's completely fine and in fact asks for more .We are in such a mess and each and every meal is a nightmare to us. Should we consider doing the same what you just described though she's too late to start such baby led weaning methods, or should we put her in a Montessori kind of preschool ( she's already going but only 3hrs) on a full day program where she'd have opportunity to get inspired from other kids? we'll be grateful for any of your suggestions/ advice.
Hi! Thanks, your videos are really great! I’m a nanny, not a mum yet, and I was wondering..Do you eat with your children? Or they eat before you? Thanks and greetings from 🇮🇹 ciao Valentina
I love our 360 cup, but I wish it didn't have handles. My bub has smashed 3 glasses on our tiles (bangs them on the table as he enjoys tapping and then they fall on the floor) so we're definitely heading towards an open plastic cup soon. He gets a lot of enjoyment in tapping things and even with supervision things break in our house 🤦
Thank you for making this video Ashley! I have a question, I'd love to transition my baby (9 months old) from a high chair to the toddler table/chair set, what was your experience preventing fall? and if they are only able to crawl, how are they able to get onto the chair themselves, or they would our assistance? thank you!
As long as you scoot them in so that the arms of the chair kind of box them in, it's all good! :) And you can put them into the chair if necessary, until they learn how to crawl up into it themselves.
Help! I just received real silverware and glasses and bowls for my 15 month old. Do you have videos on how to introduce glasses and plates at their space without them throwing them? Hopefully. Lol we don’t have a low table for him to sit at so he is in his high chair but we can remove the high chair plate and strap him in and sit right at the dinner table with us

I have a 4 month old baby and you teach exactly what I’m looking for, your content is fantastic ❤️🙏🏻
I realize I am kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good place to watch newly released movies online?
Super helpful, I can't wait for my baby to reach the age to start Montessori...she is still in my womb 😅😂
It starts pretty much if not when they are born if not when they are 3 months old. First thing, minimize (if you cant eliminate,) the baby talk.
Same here.. 22 week pregnant 😁
Not planning on kids right now but the videos you make are perfect for when it's time.
I'm 22 and have yet to even have a child myself, but my partner and I are exploring who we want to be as parents now and learn ahead rather than later.

"Meal time behavior expectation" video is exactly what I need to watch right now. Looking forward to that :).

Very interesting! Looking forward to new videos about eating :)
Yay! Can't wait for this series! I'm a new mom and I love your Montessori videos! Thanks for sharing!
love your videos. Im looking forward about eating behavior and what to do video.. wish you can make one.. 😀
So excited for this! Great info. Can't wait to introduce some foods to my little guy.

We sat the kids table right next to the main table, to where their chairs were next to ours. it was tight but it helped my 2 yr old feel included.
Aaand you just made me change a bunch of things on my baby wishlist XD
Looking forward to the BLW series!!
I'm so glad I came across your channel. You explain everything so well!! My daughter is Mia's age and I'm so excited to try blw with her. I feel more confident now seeing your experience! You are amazing!!!

@@HapaFamily great. Thanks. BLW evolves as a baby grows into toddlerhood, and we need to keep thinking of how to introduce the next step with that. This will help
Thank you for a very informative video.
It was also great to throwback to baby Kylie - too cute!
Hope the remodel has wrapped up, and you guys are settling into your daily routines again.
I love your hybrid approach (High chair + tiny tables)! I learnt recently that it’s good to have footrest in the high chair- something that ikea doesn’t have. Do you have a recommendation/something you used maybe?
I am 19 and I am not a mom ,but still enjoying your videos 👍
I am so grateful to have seen this video! My toddler just turned 23 months old and I find myself showing her videos to distract her and I feed her to make sure that she eats. Otherwise she will not eat 🙈. She throws the cup and silverware. What would you do?
Take the screen away during meal time so she can focus on her food. Eat the same meals with her to model for her. Do give it time for her to readjust, but once she doesn't expect the screen, it will be less of a battle. :)
Love it and so excited for this series !!
To bad I didn’t had your videos before. I tried this approach, but didn’t did it properly, so I was just like everyone, and now my son is 3 and a half and a very pickie eater. Some times it’s very difficult. I will try this again with the next one.
I love the way you decorated your room in this video! Exactly how I want to do my kids room! Would you mind where you bought the shelves behind you? Perhaps sharing the links?
You are a grat mom. Keep it up and good luck ❤❤
Sooooo exciting! Thanks for this!
Sorry if you covered this, but how do you teach your child to not throw stuff off the table?
LOVE your videos....such great info and such a cute sweet family!!
Thanks for your videos ! I love the way you speak and explain stuff ! :D
Great video idea! I would love to learn more about how u encourage your girls to use spoon fork and so on
That will be part of the BLW mini series that just kicked off today! :)

I love all the things I can learn on your channel! Keep it up!!
Your videos are incredible! I love them so much!
This is so helpful. Thank you so much ❤️
Cool! Cant wait to see the series!
I really really love your content and the way you present things 😍
Great content. Do you have a video practice positive parenting during meal time. I find myself saying if you finish abc you can have xyz and I love your approach with Montessori
Love it!👌 Can't wait for tomorrow's video.😁
Hi Ashley, please share how to get a four year old to eat. We haven’t had issues with eating up until I became “noticeably” pregnant with our second daughter. Our older girl was 2.5 at the time. Since then eating became progressively worse and just a miserable process for everyone. It began from her asking me to feed her because she’s “baby”, which I went along with, to simply refusing to eat. I offer her choices and ask her what she wants to eat, yet still when it comes down to it. She procrastinates as much as she can by going off doing other things and I have to bring her to the table if I can’t stop her from leaving immediately. We’ve always been sitting down to eat together and still do. She just refuses to pick up the spoon or if she does just plays with it. The worst thing of she gets hungry she becomes HANGRY.
My 9 month old is constantly trying to Toss the plate and cups and also food 😫 I’m also trying the Montessori approach
Very helpful!
I understand starting the baby led weaning at 6 mons. But when do you let the baby start using the spoon and fork?
I appreciate your videos. I am already seeing an improvement in my 4 year old. I'm late getting into this. How did I not know about Montessori 4 years ago?
Better late than never! :)
I have implemented many of the Montessori methods with all my children without knowing! My daughter is 11 months old and feeds herself at every meal. She does have a 360 cup but also uses a regular small cup. I’m going to try to find a baby temper glass cup. I love raising independent children it makes parenting so much easier!! All my kids showered themselves at age 5. I would go in just to double check their hair but that’s it. My children also dressed themselves by age 3. I’m curious to know what you do for restroom time. Do your children wipe themselves when they go #2? My children didn’t do this until 6-7 years old.
She tries to wipe for pee and then I go in afterward because we had an issue recently where she wasn't wiping well enough and things got a little sore. She does not wipe for #2 (primarily because I've never prompted her to even try). I just do it for her, I figure until she's got wiping for pee down pat and appears otherwise ready.
Very informative.... thank you.
I loved it Ashley! I can't wait to see your video tomorrow😍 This is perfect, as next month my son will be 6 months old and i'll be starting him on food🥑🍐🍌😍
Please could you do a video on how to teach your child how to do these things, the methods you use x x
All part of my BLW mini-series, which kicked off today! :)
Very helpful video! Thank you! But from what i understand, once your baby can crawl, he eats at a different table, not with the rest of the family? I’m not sure if i understand well this part. Thank you !!
Hi, great video but do you give the baby her milk in the glass cup as well. My baby is 6 months old and I give her milk in the morning and just before bedtime in a bottle. Do you use a glass cup instead??
i would also like to know this.
Thanks for the video.
In BLW all family eats together at the same table. So if a baby seats at her own little table then she is kind of not eating together with the rest. What is your opinion on this?
Love your channel. So just found you and Montessori for babies lol. I’m thinking of getting a new high chair and a weaning table. However, we like teaching our 14 month old to sit with us for meals. You have 2 babies so it might be different, but do they sit at the weaning table as you eat or they always eat on their own? Im thinking about doing high chair and table sometimes but I’m not sure...
When Kylie was younger, she always sat at her weaning table and I’d usually sit with her. Once she was able to climb in/out of her current junior chair safely (about 15-16 months), we transitioned her to the family table with us. Mia is currently in a high chair but will be moving to a weaning table once she begins crawling. 👍🏻😊
Thanks for this great video. I'm a father to a 3 year old. My wife and I regret for not providing such opportunity to our daughter. As of today she has an issue when it comes to eating. She needs tv or forms of distraction ( life she needs to be lifted or allow her to use her cycle) while eating and at the same time she gets glued to the screen and wouldn't swallow the food until we pause the video and compel her to swallow the food. There are times where we attempted to let her take her own time to chew and swallow,but nothing positive. She's happy to have that in her food for all day. Foods like chips/ banana / water melon she's completely fine and in fact asks for more .We are in such a mess and each and every meal is a nightmare to us. Should we consider doing the same what you just described though she's too late to start such baby led weaning methods, or should we put her in a Montessori kind of preschool ( she's already going but only 3hrs) on a full day program where she'd have opportunity to get inspired from other kids? we'll be grateful for any of your suggestions/ advice.
Hi! Thanks, your videos are really great! I’m a nanny, not a mum yet, and I was wondering..Do you eat with your children? Or they eat before you? Thanks and greetings from 🇮🇹 ciao Valentina
I love our 360 cup, but I wish it didn't have handles. My bub has smashed 3 glasses on our tiles (bangs them on the table as he enjoys tapping and then they fall on the floor) so we're definitely heading towards an open plastic cup soon. He gets a lot of enjoyment in tapping things and even with supervision things break in our house 🤦
Thank you for making this video Ashley! I have a question, I'd love to transition my baby (9 months old) from a high chair to the toddler table/chair set, what was your experience preventing fall? and if they are only able to crawl, how are they able to get onto the chair themselves, or they would our assistance? thank you!
As long as you scoot them in so that the arms of the chair kind of box them in, it's all good! :) And you can put them into the chair if necessary, until they learn how to crawl up into it themselves.
How long should they be eating on a weaning table for? Should they have all meals, should they not have meals with parents? Thank you
Help! I just received real silverware and glasses and bowls for my 15 month old. Do you have videos on how to introduce glasses and plates at their space without them throwing them? Hopefully. Lol we don’t have a low table for him to sit at so he is in his high chair but we can remove the high chair plate and strap him in and sit right at the dinner table with us
Love your videos! ❤️
Very interested in meal time behaviour expectations. New sub here, love your channel!
