BEST OF - When And How Should You Start Introducing Solids to Your Baby? With Olivia Bates

from The Baby Playbook · host Nikolina Koevska Kharoufeh

The newborn phase is such a rollercoaster - but just when you think you have a slight grip on sleep, milk and settling… your little one is about to kick off their solids journey. Introducing food to your little one can be a little daunting. At what age do you start? How often? Do you try purees or baby led weaning? And what’s the best high chair around? To tackle these questions and so much more, I speak to Olivia Bates the Founder of Nourishing Bubs. Olivia is a paediatric dietitian with years of hands-on experience caring for young children as a nanny and babysitter. This is PART ONE of our chat talking all things solids, as next week’s episode is dedicated to the introduction of allergens which is another important part of this journey.
