Second Baby BLW: How I'm Doing 100 First Foods Differently for Baby #2 with Lauren McClure

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

Do you do baby-led weaning differently the second time around? I’m chatting with two-time mom Lauren McClure who did 100 FIRST FOODS with her daughter…and is now helping her son do the same, albeit with some different approaches to starting solid foods this time around. Lauren is chatting about which foods she now feels more comfortable feeding and what she would have done differently with her oldest child if she had another chance to do baby-led weaning.

ABOUT THE GUEST

• Lauren is mom to Kiera and baby Kellin…and she did baby-led weaning with both

• Her oldest Kiera ate 100 FIRST FOODS before turning 1

• …and now she’s doing 100 FIRST FOODS with baby Kellin too

SUMMARY OF EPISODE

In this episode we’re talking about:

• Why Lauren feels she started solid foods too early with her older daughter

• Why she doesn’t go into baby-led weaning Facebook groups anymore

• Her exact feeding schedule for Kellin doing BLW at 8 months of age

HIGH CHAIR RECOMMENDATIONS

In this episode we talked a little about high chairs. Lauren has the Nomi high chair which is one of my favorite high chairs for baby-led weaning. I think the Nomi high chair is the safest and best high chair for starting solid foods…plus it grows with your child through to adolescence so you don’t have to keep buying new chairs.

The Nomi high chair IS definitely on the pricey side. I’ve done lots of content about why I think it’s worth investing in a safe seat for your baby to eat.

Check out these episodes and keep reading for info on how to get into a Nomi high chair at a price you will like!

NOMI High Chair Offer Code

Are you shopping the Nomi High Chair but put off by the high price tag?! 😩 The Nomi High Chair is my favorite high chair for both safety and design, but it can be expensive.

If you want to check out this chair I have an exclusive offer for my podcast listeners. If you click here to send me an email with the word Nomi in the subject line, I will write back and send you the details about how to get into this chair that I think you’re really going 🤑
