Ever been on a fruit vacation?...Well, it’s probably not what you think but if you are worried that your baby might be eating too much fruit, then taking a fruit vacation may just be a solution. In this episode I will talk about some tips on what to do when your baby is favoring fruit over other foods and how to effectively balance your baby’s plate for baby-led weaning.

SUMMARY OF EPISODE

In this episode, I am talking about:

• What a “fruit vacation” is and tips on how to balance a baby’s plate for baby-led weaning

• The importance of offering babies a variety of foods to avoid them from growing preferences to a single type of food and limit their risk of becoming conditioned to only eating what they like

• What it means to “drip food” and the value of refraining from using this feeding practice to be able to offer your baby the opportunity to have a visual stimulus of his meal and the ability to see, pick up, and put the food in their mouth
