#498 - Taste training can help familiarize your baby with the diverse tastes, textures and smells of food - even before they start solid food. Marsha Dunn Klein from the Get Permission Institute explains how to safely initiate taste training.

Listen to this episode to learn:

1. What taste training is and how it helps set the foundation for independent eating later on


2. How taste training supports sensory development and whether or not it increases choking risk


3. Why offering new flavors, tastes, textures and aromas in the pre-feeding phase is beneficial
