If choking is your biggest fear when it comes to baby-led weaning… you’re not alone. And you’re not doing anything wrong.

This episode is a gentle, honest conversation about the most common fear new parents face when starting solids: choking.
We'll walk through how to handle the fear—not by ignoring it, but by preparing for it.

Inside this episode, I’ll cover:

• Why fear of choking is a sign of love, not failure

• The difference between fear that protects and fear that paralyzes

• Simple ways to reduce risk and increase your confidence

• How preparation (not perfection) is the key to safe mealtimes

• My top 5 strategies for calming your nervous system before, during, and after meals

This one is for the mamas who feel their heart race with every bite—and are still showing up with courage. ❤️
