PODCAST EPISODE SHOW NOTES

Ever wondered what helped other parents and caregivers be successful at baby-led weaning? It is often common for all parents to experience the same feelings of stress and fear while introducing their babies to solids but what better thing than to ask the parents who have been there for their best piece of advice? In this episode, I will share a number of great suggestions from parents to parents!

SUMMARY OF EPISODE

In this episode, I will be sharing advice from parents to parents about what worked for them while doing baby-led weaning:

• Feeding Relationship: Is it ok to let my baby “play” with their food? 

• Gagging vs Choking: What can help me ease the tension when I see my baby “gagging”?

• Diet Diversity: What can I do if my baby “prefers” one food over the others?

• Spitting: If my baby spits out their food does that mean they “dislike” it?

• Clean-up: What’s the best way to make “clean-up easier” after feeding my baby?
