The BLISS method stands for Baby Led Introduction to SolidS, a modification of Baby Led Weaning (BLW) that focuses on solving the potential drawbacks of this method of complementary feeding.
Among these disadvantages of BLW is the possible deficiency of iron and energy, for which it is proposed to introduce a food rich in iron (if possible accompanied by a food rich in vitamin C) and a nutritionally rich food at each meal.
On the other hand, to avoid the risk of choking, it is essential not to leave the baby alone while eating, to provide foods of the right size, shape and consistency and never to offer forbidden foods such as raw apples (roasted apples could be offered) or nuts (crushed nuts could be offered).
