  • 100 First Foods Graduates

    BONUS: In 2016 I created the 100 FIRST FOODS approach to starting solid foods with baby-led weaning. I did the 100 FIRST FOODS approach with my baby quadruplets, creating a 5-step feeding framework that helps you introduce 5 new foods per week, 20 foods per month and 100 foods in the first 5 months of your baby eating solid foods.

     

    The 100 FIRST FOODS program has grown immensely and is now a formalized digital program that I co-teach with my friend, colleague & fellow BLW expert Dawn Winkelmann, MS, CCC-SLP. In this episode I interviewed the parents of 7 different 100 FIRST FOODS graduates to inspire YOU to start pushing your baby’s palate today by challenging yourself to try 100 NEW FOODS with baby-led weaning!

  • Self-Care for You When Your Baby is Starting Solids with Christine Sterling, MD

    #94: What’s your status with self-care these days? You hear the term “self-care” thrown around a lot in the motherhood and parenting space...but what does it actually mean? 


    In this episode Christine Sterling, MD from The Sterling Life is joining us to talk about why self-care as a parent is so important. We need to be taking care of ourselves, especially during transition times in your baby’s life...like when you’re starting solids.


    Dr. Sterling is a board-certified OBGYN dedicated to helping moms navigate pregnancy, postpartum and parenthood. She is a straight-talker and if you’ve brushed the idea of self-care to the side, Dr. Sterling is going to put it back front and center.


    In our interview Dr. Sterling explains why as parents we tend to look to our children to fulfill areas of our lives where we’re feeling “not enough”. Her techniques will help you use self-care to move you closer to yourself, helping you feel more at peace in your life...while acknowledging that parenting will always be imperfect. Dr. Sterling’s mission is to help remind us that self-care can help bring joy among the imperfect.


    In Dr. Sterling’s words, “Do your children see you enjoying life even when the to-do list is not done?” If you’re like most of us and the answer is no, check out this episode with Christine Sterling, MD @drsterlingobgyn to get some self-care in your situation stat!


    Listen to this episode to learn:
    1.  How breastfeeding moms experience hormonal changes around the time your baby starts solid foods and how that can elevate risk for post-partum anxiety and depression
    2. Why over focusing on one area of your child’s health or well-being can lead to negative health consequences for you as the caregiver...but how to stop this painful cycle
    3. What exactly constitutes self-care and why finding joy and experiencing joy even when your to-do list is not done is so important for your children to see in you

      • Why You DON'T Need to Wait 3-5 Days Between New Foods with Carina Venter, PhD, RD

        #84: Have you heard the recommendation to wait 3-5 days between trying new foods with your baby? Did you know that there is no evidence or research to back this guidance up? In fact, waiting unnecessarily long periods of time between new foods all but ensures that babies WON’T get the diet diversity that other research shows they really NEED to succeed with growth and development.


        Introducing 1 new food per day is perfectly safe for your baby. Carina Venter, PhD, RD is joining me on this interview to tell you why you do NOT need to wait 3-5 days between new foods for your baby. And if that’s the recommendation you’re hearing from your pediatrician, Carina also breaks down why doctors are still perpetuating this outdated notion despite the emerging body of literature that supports more rapid exposure to new foods. 


        Carina Venter is one of the most recognized authorities in the area of pediatric food allergy prevention and research. She’s on many of the nutrition advisory panels that study the evidence about starting solids and put forth recommendations for new food and allergenic food introduction. If you’re not already convinced that babies can eat a greater variety of foods than most doctors would give them credit for, this interview with Carina Venter is going to make a believer out of you too!


        Listen to this episode to learn:
        1.  The racist connotations of the term “food desert” and why “food apartheid” is a preferable alternative
        2. How parents can challenge the rhetoric of nutrition and food that needs to look or be a certain way in order to be “normal” or “healthy”
        3. The “why” behind her book Black Food Matters: Racial Justice in the Wake of Food Justice and what it means for parents today

          • Black Food Matters and Food Justice with Hanna Garth, MPH, PHD

            #82: It’s no secret that food and nutrition is traditionally taught through a white-centric lens. In this episode I’m joined by Hanna Garth, a food anthropologist and professor and author of Black Food Matters: Racial Justice in the Wake of Food Justice to talk about the underlying problems of food inequality as they pertain to race and culture.


            If you’ve ever wondered how a food swamp differs from a food desert, or what the term food apartheid actually means (...and why it’s preferred over food swamp and/or food dessert), this episode has some answers for you.


            Hanna is helping parents learn to speak about food and culture to our kids in a way that challenges the rhetoric of nutrition and food that needs to look or be a certain way in order to be “normal” or “healthy”.


            Listen to this episode to learn:
            1.  The racist connotations of the term “food desert” and why “food apartheid” is a preferable alternative
            2. How parents can challenge the rhetoric of nutrition and food that needs to look or be a certain way in order to be “normal” or “healthy”
            3. The “why” behind her book Black Food Matters: Racial Justice in the Wake of Food Justice and what it means for parents today

              • How to Pick a Milk When Your Baby Turns 1

                #79: What changes in feeding when your baby turns 1? Honestly...not a whole lot. But we do make the transition to cow’s milk and that can be kind of tricky for some families.


                In this episode we’re looking at how to pick a milk when your baby turns 1. From questions about how much to feed, what types of cow’s milk to try, transitioning from breastmilk and/or formula to cow’s milk and milk alternatives, I’m answering all your questions on how to pick a milk when your baby turns 1.


                Listen to this episode to learn:
                1.  Why it’s ok for babies to have cow’s milk protein in yogurt, low sodium cheeses and other dairy foods but why we don’t substitute fluid cow’s milk for breastmilk and/or formula until baby turns 1
                2. What to look for in the milk aisle when you’re choosing a cow’s milk for your baby at or after the 1 year mark
                3. How to wean baby off of the bottle (and when to do that) and what to consider if you need to do a cow’s milk alternative if your baby has cow’s milk protein allergy or you’re a vegan family

                      • Baby Behavior at Mealtimes: What the Science Says with Tina Payne Bryson, PhD

                        #74: What is your baby’s behavior at mealtime telling you? Is it possible to spoil a baby by feeding him too much? Can babies even exhibit “bad” behavior? In this episode author, child development and parenting specialist Tina Payne Bryson, PhD is joining me to break it ALL down when it comes to your baby’s behavior at mealtimes - diving DEEP into what the science says!


                        Tina is the co-author of well-known parenting books such as The Whole-Brain Child and No Drama Discipline (...aka the BIBLE when my quadruplets were toddlers and I had NO idea how to compassionately discipline!) I love Tina’s science-based approach to tackling topics and she’s covering a TON of baby behavior in her new book The Bottom Line For Baby.


                        Tina is walking us through a TON of positive parenting techniques, like how to react when your baby starts throwing food, responding to family members or friends who question your decision to do baby-led weaning and how to establish boundaries when baby starts pushing your buttons!


                        Listen to this episode to learn:
                        1.  Why it’s basically impossible to spoil your baby...so don’t worry that your doting or your preferred method for starting solid foods is going to spoil your baby. It won’t!
                        2. How to connect and redirect when our babies are playing with or dropping food. Plus Tina also covers how these behaviors change during different stages of infancy.
                        3. How baby-led weaning helps babies develop “interoception” - or the idea of what’s going on internally...so they’re learning how to recognize & respond to their hunger cues.

                          • HELP! My Baby Has NO Interest in Food at First

                            #73: The first few days, weeks & even months of baby-led weaning can feel BRUTAL. Like your baby isn’t eating a lot and you’re worried they’re not “getting enough” or missing out on iron or what if their growth starts to falter??...


                            Fear not! MOST babies don’t take IMMEDIATELY to food and that’s because they need time to learn HOW to eat. In this episode we’re breaking down WHY your baby is probably not super interested in food at first and WHAT to do (and NOT do when this happens!) 


                            Listen to this episode to learn:
                            1.  Why you DON’T need to worry if your baby isn’t eating much early on in BLW...it’s not your job! You DO have other jobs & I break those down but worrying about HOW MUCH or even WHETHER your baby is eating, that is not your job!
                            2. When most babies DO start to experience an uptick in solid food intake and become less reliant on milk for nutrition...and also what you can do if your baby DOESN’T experience this, it may be a quick fix.
                            3. Why stressing about baby not eating early on in BLW is a pretty big waste of your time and in the larger scheme of things is NOT problematic. Practice makes perfect though, so we’re talking about how to optimize your baby’s success for self-feeding down the road once they DO start taking to self-feeding.

                              • Travel + Restaurants: Taking Your BLW Show on the Road

                                #71: What if you’re doing baby-led weaning but you want to go on vacation or out to a restaurant: HOW do you take your BLW baby show on the road?! Well fear not, traveling with a self-feeding baby is actually WAY easier than doing traditional spoon-feeding on the road!


                                In this episode I’m sharing some practical tips for preparing for and actually taking your BLW baby away from his or her home feeding environment. We’re chatting about traveling with breastmilk and/or formula, survival tips for when schedules change and ideas for what to order at your favorite restaurant.


                                Listen to this episode to learn:
                                1. How to prepare for the inevitable schedule changes associated with traveling and how mealtimes may be affected with time zone changes and airplane travel
                                2. Even if snacks aren’t usually your thing, having smart snack plans on hand is IDEAL when you’re feeding on the go
                                3. Tips for ordering foods at a restaurant when you’re doing BLW (...and spoiler alert: it does NOT involve the kids menu!)
