Episode Description

How do you feed your baby wheat? Wheat is one of the Big 8 allergenic foods...the 8 foods that account for about 90% of food allergy. And it’s one of the easier foods to introduce early and often for your baby.

In this episode you will learn some easy ways to introduce your baby to wheat foods for baby-led weaning. And we’ll also cover why some people say babies should not have or can’t digest wheat foods and why that is not true (...unless your baby has a true wheat allergy!)

SUMMARY of Episode

In this episode, I’m covering:

• Why there is more benefit to introducing wheat foods to your baby early and often vs. withholding these foods. 

• A variety of ways to introduce wheat to your baby using baby-led weaning foods that babies can safely self-feed from 6 months of age on

• Why concerns about feeding your baby grain foods are mostly bogus (...with a few exceptions), but spoiler alert: almost all babies CAN safely digest grain & wheat foods
