Child led weaning VS Traditional/Purées?

We did traditional with our first and did blw with our 2nd and 3rd. i found it much easier cuz i didn't have to make up special meals. They all go thru a fussy stage around 10-18mths, my 15mth old (3rd child)will sometimes eat dinner and other days doesn't want a bar of it. I refuse to make her something different just because she wont try it. She is by far the fussiest but is getting better. I've learnt to just go, ok if you don't want to eat that's fine, she just doesn't get anything after no desert no fruit nothing. But my 2nd child is a garbage guts now, she's3 and will try almost anything. but i do remember her going thru a fussy stage. i think my youngest takes cues from the oldest who can be quite fussy at time. They eat what we eat full stop. its important to understand gagging and choking they are too different things. BLW is very messy and wasteful as they like to smear food instead of eating it the early stages, so if you can handle the mess and waste go for it. My 15mth old eats her weetbix for breakfast by herself (using a combo of hand/spoon) and has been since about 10/11months its fantastic, it means i get to eat my cereal and drink my tea like a normal person instead of having bites and sips in between her mouthfuls.
