Let Them Lead

Manic Momboss went back to baby‑led weaning with the Rapley method for her second child, this time armed with new confidence from a cooking masterclass and first‑aid training. Jad & Mimi walk through her three-step routine : nursing on demand then offering simple finger foods like steamed carrot strips, banana chunks and avocado slices; timing meals after naps for calm focus; and embracing every messy moment as a learning opportunity. They break down why self‑feeding boosts motor skills, confidence and honest hunger cues, and share her go‑to resource, the Solid Starts app, for safe food prep. Ten minutes of practical tips and encouragement to hand over the carrot and let curiosity lead.
