5 Feeding Practices to Avoid for Baby-Led Weaning

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

There are so many foods your baby CAN eat…but a few feeding practices that can put them in danger or should be avoided. In this episode we’re looking at 5 feeding practices to avoid for baby-led weaning in order to keep your baby safe and successful at self-feeding when they start solid foods!

SUMMARY OF EPISODE

In this episode we’re talking about:

• Why feeding your baby out of a suction mat or bowl promotes independent eating but food directly off the table or tray does not

• How to handle the mess if you’re tempted to wipe your baby during mealtimes

• Easy ways to safely introduce allergenic foods…even if you’re scared about your baby having an allergic reaction to food
