LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

Babies can eat way more foods than we give them credit for! In this episode I’m walking you through the history of my 100 FIRST FOODS approach to starting solid foods with baby-led weaning.

From my struggles spoon-feeding my oldest daughter, to discovering baby-led weaning with my quadruplets, switching nutrition careers to focus entirely on baby-led weaning and then refining the 100 FIRST FOODS approach for my 6th & 7th babies (twins!)...I’m taking you on a brief tour of the history of how I came to create my 5-STEP FEEDING FRAMEWORK and the whole #100firstfoods movement!

Since creating the 100 FIRST FOODS approach to BLW in 2016, my program has helped tens of thousands of families get a safe start to solid foods using baby-led weaning. If you’re interested in pushing YOUR baby’s palate to this 100 first foods mark, then let’s get started!

SUMMARY of episode

In this episode I’m covering:

• The history of my 100 FIRST FOODS approach to starting solids using baby-led weaning from its inception in 2016

• The 5-step feeding framework that shows you which 5 new foods to feed your baby each week as you get started with solid foods using baby-led weaning

• Why babies who start solid foods with a baby-led approach are more likely to be independent eaters and LESS likely to be picky eaters (...and how 100 FOODS is a TOTALLY attainable goal for you too!)
