About this episode

#460 - Why do we make starting solid foods SO complicated? Documentary filmmaker and mom of 2 Paulina Lagudi is here to talk about the new film project she is making about starting solid foods called A Solid 6 Months. She’s following her own son’s journey with baby-led weaning, interviewing experts and exploring parents’ + babies’ relationship with learning to eat real food.

Listen to this episode to learn:

  1. How Paulina took a much different approach to starting solid foods with her 2nd baby vs #1
  2. Why she is making a film about starting solid foods and how that process actually works
  3. Which new foods her baby has tried and the ones she’s a little skittish to start just yet
