Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro

5 Things I Would Do Differently if I Started BLW All Over Again

#255: I love a good failure reflection and this episode is FULL of it for you. If I were starting baby-led weaning all over again, here are 5 things I would do differently. 

 

In order to bring you this episode, I went BACK into my phone to the very first few weeks of doing BLW with my baby quadruplets and cringed SO HARD at my mistakes.

 

My focus as a dietitian specializing in baby-led weaning is to help you learn about all of the things your baby CAN eat - but it may also be helpful to know what to avoid, and that’s what I’m covering in this episode.

 

In this episode you will learn:

  • Why you should ignore pressure about starting solid foods before your baby is ready
  • How to remedy “dangling feet” and why having baby’s feet resting on a solid footplate is essential for promoting safe swallow
  • The benefits of offering early eaters food out of a suction plate or bowl and not directly on the tray or table
  • How to cycle familiar foods back into your baby’s diet while continuing to offer new foods, flavors, textures and allergenic ingredients.
