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


Listen Later

Hear all about the MOTR approach to baby-led weaning. In this episode, we share our takes on: 

  • what we think of baby-led weaning
  • how 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 weaning
  • signs of readiness and why anything under 6 months old is too young to start solids

Stay 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 myth
  • Episode #84 of Unapologetically Unmedicated: Buy for Baby, Bye for Mommy with Andrea Haskins
  • Katie Ferraro's Baby Led Weaning Made Easy Program (not affiliates, but we loved this program nonetheless)
