#29: How We Approached Baby-Led Weaning: Part 1
Description
Hear all about the MOTR approach to baby-led weaning. In this episode, we share our takes on:
- what we think of baby-led weaning
- how it’s different from simply “starting solids”
- overcoming obstacles mothers face when considering solids (fear of choking, allergens, breastfeeding relationships, etc).
- why we don’t care about added sodium for infants and what that evidence actually says (hint: it’s inconclusive)
- how we feel about purée pouches and stereotypical “baby food”
- why your pediatrician is not the expert on baby-led weaning
- signs of readiness and why anything under 6 months old is too young to start solids
Stay tuned for part 2 for an even deeper dive on meals we offer our children, BLW hacks, staying the course during travel and dining out, and so much more.
