HELP! My Baby Has NO Interest in Food at...

KATIE FERRARO
About this episode

#73: The first few days, weeks & even months of baby-led weaning can feel BRUTAL. Like your baby isn’t eating a lot and you’re worried they’re not “getting enough” or missing out on iron or what if their growth starts to falter??...

 

Fear not! MOST babies don’t take IMMEDIATELY to food and that’s because they need time to learn HOW to eat. In this episode we’re breaking down WHY your baby is probably not super interested in food at first and WHAT to do (and NOT do when this happens!) 

 

 

 

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.
