About this episode

#201 What foods should be introduced first when starting baby-led weaning?

Although there are certain situations where some foods need to be introduced later on in the feeding process..Spoiler Alert! The order of baby-led weaning foods introduced to a baby does not matter. In this episode we are exploring the fact that parents and caretakers have all the freedom they need to offer babies the variety of foods they want when starting baby-led weaning.
