PODCAST EPISODE SHOW NOTES

Which foods should I start with for baby-led weaning? What are the best FIRST FOODS for my baby? Babies can eat so many more foods than we give them credit for and in this episode, I’m sharing some tips for how to select the first foods you offer your baby.

SUMMARY OF EPISODE

In this episode we’re talking about:

• SCHEDULING foods and why you don’t need to alter your baby’s infant milk schedule or nap schedule for the first few weeks and even moths of baby-led weaning

• CHOOSING FOODS - how to use Katie Ferraro’s 5-STEP FEEDING FRAMEWORK to select 5 new safe BLW foods for your baby to try each week. Learn more here.

• WHAT COUNTS - what if my baby doesn’t chew or swallow the food? Does that count?
