🍼 The Shocking Truth About Baby Food & How BLW Can Help

Did you know that 95% of baby food jars contain lead? 😱 Heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and cadmium are lurking in store-bought baby food, yet the food industry takes zero responsibility for the harm it causes our children.

In this episode, I uncover the dangers of commercial baby food, share my experience raising three kids with different feeding methods (BLW vs. traditional feeding), and reveal how my son’s colic was linked to poor gut health caused by antibiotics.

We’ll also dive into:

✔️ The risks of mashed food & choking misconceptions

✔️ Why Baby-Led Weaning (BLW) can create a healthier, more joyful eating experience

✔️ What parents can do to protect their babies from toxic food

✔️ How to support initiatives pushing for better regulations in baby food
