#1: Welcome to the Baby-Led Weaning Made Easy podcast! I’m your host Katie Ferraro, a Registered Dietitian, college nutrition professor and mom of 7 specializing in baby-led weaning. I S-T-R-U-G-G-L-E-D spoon-feeding my oldest...but when I discovered baby-led weaning for the rest of my babies, ALL of the magic returned to family mealtimes!
In this inaugural episode, I’m breaking down exactly what baby-led weaning is, what the benefits of baby-led weaning are over traditional spoon-feeding as well as some practical tips on how you do baby-led weaning starting when your baby is 6 months of age + exhibiting the other signs of readiness to feed.
Listen in as I share a little bit about the history of this approach to starting solids with your baby. I’ll help you get your mindset straight about what your jobs in feeding are compared to your baby’s job. And, I share a very simple strategy that is going to help you out the first few weeks of baby-led weaning, when you’re going to feel like quitting because you’re not sure if you’re doing this baby-feeding thing right! (...I’ll tell you the SECRET to pushing past those first few frustrating feedings with your baby!)
If you’re ready to raise an independent eater and prevent picky eating, then let’s get started learning about baby-led weaning! Subscribe, rate and review the podcast here.
