The most common food allergies among children and why it makes sense to introduce those 3 potentially allergenic foods first to your baby with baby-led weaning

In this episode, I’m covering:

The most common food allergies among children and why it makes sense to introduce those 3 potentially allergenic foods first to your baby with baby-led weaning
How cow’s milk protein intolerance differs from allergy and how in many cases your baby can safely be offered milk-containing foods (and BF mamas can eat it again too!)
Why we don’t give baby cow’s milk in place of formula or breastmilk until after 1, but how your baby can safely eat milk ingredients, milk in food and certain cheeses and yogurt.

Serving all foods for baby-led weaning out of a suction mat or bowl helps promote independent eating. I use the ezpz Tiny Bowl and Mini Bowl for yogurt and you can get 10% off all ezpz feeding gear with the code KATIE10 here.
Yogurt is for sure a messy experience to feed your baby. Our goal is not to prevent the mess, but to minimize mess and I love the Bapron Baby bapron bibs and splash mats for baby-led weaning. Get 10% off at bapronbaby.com with code KATIE10.
