Babies Don't Need Snacks: Why Your Early Eater is Better Off Skipping Snacks
#35: Think your baby needs snacks? Think again. In this episode, we’re diving into why milk—breastmilk or formula—is your baby’s perfect “snack” between meals and why skipping snacks during the weaning phase can set your baby up for better eating habits in toddlerhood. You’ll learn how early snacking sabotages appetite and meals, and how to build a solid feeding routine without the snack trap.
Listen to this episode to learn:
1. What a baby’s typical meal schedule can look like at 6-7 months, 8-9 months and the 10-12 month stage
2. Why the breastmilk and/or formula your baby is drinking between meals is the “insurance policy” to fill in the nutrient gaps as baby is learning to eat more food
3. Some instances of when snacks might be needed and my favorite go to snacks for babies
