What if you’re doing baby-led weaning but you want to go on vacation or out to a restaurant: HOW do you take your BLW baby show on the road?! Well fear not, traveling with a self-feeding baby is actually WAY easier than doing traditional spoon-feeding on the road!

In this episode I’m sharing some practical tips for preparing for and actually taking your BLW baby away from his or her home feeding environment. We’re chatting about traveling with breastmilk and/or formula, survival tips for when schedules change and ideas for what to order at your favorite restaurant.
