I sort of did BLS also a bit by accident. Very independent little miss from very early on, started solids about 6 months and found she wanted to do it herself more so I'd just put anything I'd mashed/pureed on her high chair table for her to experiment with and try with the spoon at the same time. This went on for a while until she was doing most of it herself, loved squishing with her fingers etc (which also helps with development I think??)

Regularly introduced new things....even things I'm not big on but you have to eat it as well and make it fun or they don't believe you!! Smart little monkeys!! I've eaten zucchini for eg...didn't really like...but funilly don't mind it now!

Now she's self weaned at 13 months and is eating everything I give her...can't fill her up and she doesn't seem to mind what it is as long as it's food....so far!! Just keep it fun, no stress and laugh lots and remember mess can be easily cleaned up...they're only little once
