Starting solids is a big enough milestone on its own — and when you add in daycare, a nanny, or even Grandma helping out, it can feel downright overwhelming.

If you're wondering how to keep baby-led weaning going strong when you’re not the one doing the feeding, this episode is for you.

We’re breaking down how to advocate for your feeding preferences, communicate with caregivers, adapt your approach without losing your BLW rhythm, and most of all — trust your baby’s skills and resilience along the way.

You’ll learn:

• Why clear, kind communication with daycare matters more than perfection
• What to include in a caregiver handout (and where to get mine!)
• How to combine BLW with purees in a daycare setting
• Why your baby won’t get confused by different textures or routines
• The one thing you definitely want to check daycare food labels for (hint: it’s sticky sweet)
• Real-life examples from BLW parents (and a foster care story that’ll warm your heart)

💡 Whether your provider is hesitant or you’re simply nervous to let go of control, this episode will help you find a calm, confident middle ground — one that honors your values and makes room for support.
