LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

How often should babies who are 10-11 months old eat solid foods? Should they be allowed to feel some “casual hunger”, do we drop another milk feed? What about transitioning off of the bottle and onto the open cup. In this episode I am joined by TWENTY moms of babies 10-11 months old who are graciously sharing their schedule and what’s going on with their older babies…this is a little bit of a longer episode, but hoping you can learn from some of their shared experiences about feeding babies who are 10-11 months old.

SHOW NOTES

SUMMARY of episode

In this episode we’re talking about:

• How phase 3 of baby-led weaning (the 3rd 8 week session) changes for babies who are 10-11 months old and what to expect in the way of intake, scheduling solid foods, dropping milk feeds and moving towards toddlerhood

• Why snacks can be a big saboteur of the older infant’s diet and how to be assertive in making between meal milk your baby’s snack so they can be more engaged at mealtime

• What to expect as baby nears the 1 year mark: allergenic food trials, open cup practice, continuing to offer variety and trickier textures for older babies
