#314: What’s the deal with the Montessori weaning table? Is it just a glorified kids’ table or are there real benefits from having your child eat at a small table from a small chair? I’ve always been curious about this idea of the weaning table…because there are a lot of overlaps with the baby-led weaning approach and the Montessori methods - so I wanted to speak with a Montessori specialist and my guest today is Jeanne-Marie Paynel…she is a Montesorri parenting mentor with a Masters Degree in Montessori education and she’s going to break down the basic arrangement of the Montessori feeding area of the house with or without use of the weaning table.
