About this episode

BONUS: If this BLW podcast were a baby it would be time to start solid foods! That’s right, the BABY-LED WEANING MADE EASY podcast is officially 6 months old. I know it’s a weird thing to celebrate a baby’s half birthday (...weirder to celebrate a podcast’s half birthday)...but this baby is a labor of love and I’ve got some great podcast tidbits to share with you 6 months on!

 

 

 

If you’re ready to raise an independent eater and prevent picky eating then let’s get started learning about baby-led weaning together! Subscribe, rate and review the podcast here.
