BLW, low salt & eating out

Hi everyone

​

Relatively low stakes question. We're doing mostly baby-led weaning with my 10 month old; essentially the classic approach of giving her a bit of what we're eating as much as possible. Obviously means cooking from scratch and adding no salt or sugar to dishes. It's going well, she really enjoys her food.

​

The guide I read iterated that eating out with baby should basically involve the same approach... Order something, give her a bit of what you're eating. However, undoubtedly restaurants *will* add salt to anything and everything, so whenever we go out to eat I either have to pre-prepare something separate for her (which is fine if I have time, though it's not what I'm eating and sometimes she notices and gets cross) or giving her pretty boring parts of the meal eg plain rice alongside some baby snacks.

​

So my question is, those who also did BLW - did you do anything differently? Are there certain restaurants that do baby friendly dishes? Am I being too strict on the no salt rule and relax it when we're eating out? Just eat out very minimally (this would be my go to but life circumstances have led to us eating out more recently)? Curious to know of any tips you have, thanks in advance :)
