Why Baby-Led Weaning Is About More Than What’s on the Plate

It might look like a mess on the tray… but what you’re really building is trust, connection, and a lifelong relationship with food.

This episode is a zoom-out moment. Less about the logistics, more about the legacy you’re creating—bite by bite, moment by moment.

Because baby-led weaning isn’t just about broccoli, bibs, and high chairs. It’s about letting your baby’s voice matter. It’s about healing old patterns. And it’s about building a relationship around food that’s grounded in trust and joy—for both of you.

We’ll explore:

• How baby-led weaning models body autonomy from day one
• What it means to break cycles and rewrite your own feeding story
• Why the “invisible progress” matters most (even when no food is swallowed)
• How mealtimes become a safe, shared experience—not just a to-do
• The deeper work happening under the surface of every messy bite

This episode is full of real stories from parents I’ve supported, reflections from my own journey, and gentle reminders that you’re doing more than you think.
