Doing BLW When Someone Else Helps Watch Your Baby

How do you do baby-led weaning at daycare…especially if the daycare provider says they “don't” or “won't” let you try to get your infant to feed themself?
Suggestions for gently easing in grandma or anyone in your tribe who may occasionally help you at mealtimes…even if they're freaked out the baby is going ot choke
