BLW Bootcamp: Lessons Learned from 10 Babies Starting Solid Foods

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

Every baby is different…especially when it comes to starting solid foods. In this episode I’m sharing 10 tips I learned recently from helping 10 different babies start baby-led weaning. From how long to wait after a bottle feed to do food to whether or not you need the straps on your high chair early on in eating, I hope these 10 experiences will help set the stage for your baby to get a safe start to solid foods.

SUMMARY OF EPISODE

Every baby is different. And every baby who starts solid foods takes their own unique path. In this episode I’m sharing 10 babies I’ve worked with recently and one tip about starting solid foods that I learned from each of these babies:

1. Baby Jordan - seeing really is believing when it comes to BLW

2. Baby Sienna - never saw a baby gag this easily, wow

3. Baby Frankie - why bottle fed babies need a pad after milk before food

4. Baby Skylar - why I no longer make lamb stew meat for BLW

5. Baby Alma - inspiration for my best BLW recipe: kidney bean pie

6. Baby Layne - social babies vs. babies who need to eat by themselves

7. Baby Luke - egg ladder for egg allergy and getting ok with the BLW mess

8. Baby Jaelynn - how to recognize multiple signs of allergic reaction

9. Baby Henry - adjusting age for premature babies + feeding multiples

10. Baby JoJo - do you put the straps on the high chair early on in feeding?
