#29: How We Approached Baby-Led Weaning: Part 1

Hear all about the MOTR approach to baby-led weaning. In this episode, we share our takes on: what we think of baby-led weaninghow 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 weaningsigns of readiness and why anything under 6 months old is too young to start solidsStay 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.Resources:Lily Nichol's article debunking the infant sodium intake mythEpisode #84 of Unapologetically Unmedicated: Buy for Baby, Bye for Mommy with Andrea HaskinsKatie Ferraro's Baby Led Weaning Made Easy Program (not affiliates, but we loved this program nonetheless)Support the showTHANKS TO SPONSOR:Wild Nutritionist!Use code MOTR to save 35% off Mama Baby Biome Method AND First Foods PlanStay Connected With Me:Subscribe to Moms Off The Record on YouTubeJOIN THE MOTR PRIVATE COMMUNITY here Book a potty training 1:1 consult with me hereDiscount codes & links to my favorite courses and products hereLove Moms off the Record?
