description BACKGROUND: Baby-led weaning (BLW), a method for introducing complementary foods, has become popular because it is considered beneficial for infants. METHODS: This study investigated the experiences of mothers when using BLW in Jakarta, Indonesia using a qualitative descriptive approach. Thirteen mothers participated who had introduced complementary feeding using BLW for a minimum of 6 months. Semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis was used to work with the data. RESULTS: Three themes were identified: avoiding being a ‘picky’ eater; infants gagging and choking; and becoming independent feeders. CONCLUSION: Further research related to the growth and development of baby-led weaning infants in Indonesia is recommended.
