#484: Can your baby eat enough to meet their nutrition needs if you skip spoon-feeding? Researcher Kinzie Matzeller discusses her recent research about baby-led weaning and whether or not it actually works.

Listen to this episode to learn:

1. What the existing body of research says about baby-led weaning…and why doctors still say they aren’t sure if it “works”


2. How Kinzie analyzed existing publications about baby-led weaning in her review article recently published in Nutrients


3. Why researchers in infant feeding often say “more research is needed” instead of doing that actual research themselves
