PODCAST EPISODE SHOW NOTES

How can I switch my baby’s feeding schedule so they eat solids before offering milk? Will my baby need to drink less bottles when eating more food? As a baby nears the one year mark, it is important to prepare them for the transition into cow’s milk by switching solids before milk feeds but also gradually reducing the amount of milk that they drink.

In this episode, I am joined by first-time mom Nicole Boehm and we’ll be taking the time to brainstorm a new feeding schedule for her almost one year old baby where solid foods can now be offered before milk feedings while baby-led weaning.

SUMMARY OF EPISODE

In this episode, we will be talking about:

• The current feeding schedule for baby Raelynn who is breastfeeding, bottle feeding and baby-led weaning.

• How to start your baby on an open cup when beginning to shift milk feeds until after solid foods. 

• Ways to gradually limit milk to an appropriate amount as your baby gets older, to help prepare for an easier transition to cow’s milk as their one year mark approaches.

• Two of the biggest Indicators that help determine how much milk a baby should be drinking.
