#493: Can vegetarian families do baby-led weaning? In this episode, we explore how plant-based families can successfully navigate baby-led weaning while ensuring their baby gets all the nutrition they need. Learn about key nutrients such as iron, protein, and omega-3s, plus practical tips for preparing safe, baby-led weaning-friendly vegetarian finger foods. Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, or just looking to add more plant-based options to your baby’s meals, this episode will explain how to raise a confident eater…even without meat in the mix.

Listen to this episode to learn:

1. How vegetarian families can offer a variety of foods even if they don’t eat meat or animal foods


2. Which new plant foods to offer your baby so that they can get enough iron, zinc and protein


3. Why some vegan families “bend the rules” when it comes to introducing allergenic foods
