If you followed baby-led weaning, picky eating can feel confusing — even discouraging.

But the principles still matter.

BLW works because it encourages:

• Self-feeding

• Food exploration

• Respecting hunger cues

The challenge? As children grow, portions increase — and overwhelm creeps in.

How My Story Plate supports the transition:

• Maintains independence

• Encourages variety

• Adds gentle structure

• Keeps eating engaging

It extends the benefits of BLW into the toddler and preschool years — when picky eating usually appears.
