October 22, 2020Sugar and Why Your Baby Should Avoid it with Robert Lustig, MD, MSL
#68: Sure you know your baby doesn’t need sugar. But did you know that added sugars are EVERYWHERE in the commercial food supply, including baby foods?

In this episode I’m joined by Dr. Robert Lustig - the BIG DADDY of sugar research and he’s breaking it DOWN exactly why your baby doesn’t need sugar (...and what you can do to avoid it!)

You may know Dr. Lustig from documentary films such as FED UP or SUGAR COATED...or possibly the longest viral video ever, his SUGAR: THE BITTER TRUTH 90 minute treatise on every reason why we’re being tricked into eating sugar and what it’s doing for our bodies.

But Dr. Lustig is also doing groundbreaking research on TEXTURES and PALATE DEVELOPMENT and he’s sharing WHY as he puts it, “We have been feeding babies pureed semi solid food for millenia...and they’re still here!”

Listen to this episode to learn:
Why he believes sugar is the alcohol of the child
Why your baby has to see a SAVORY food significantly more times before he or she likes it vs. SWEET foods (...hint: it has to do with taste receptors on your baby’s tongue)
Why pureeing vegetables for your baby does not convey the same health benefits as eating the soft, safe intact versions for babies (...hint: it has to do with the shearing of fiber in the blender + removal of the liver protection fiber containing foods provide)
The difference between apples, applesauce and apple juice and their impact on you and your baby’s blood sugar
Why healthy foods are high in fiber and low in sugar; processed foods are low in fiber and high in sugar...and it’s the processed foods that are killing us!

October 17, 2020100 First Foods Graduates
#67: So what’s the big deal about a baby eating 100 foods? Well the research shows us that babies who are exposed to the greatest number of foods, flavors, tastes & textures are MORE likely to be independent eaters and LESS likely to be picky eaters!

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.

Listen to this episode to learn:
Kayla Sherwood - Mom of BG twins William & Adelaide who finished their 100 First Foods at 11.5 months & mom is on IG @kasherwood22
Erin Callaway - Erin is the mom of Sunny who did her 100 First Foods with us and baby brother Rowan is JUST STARTING and will be tackling the same challenge this time too. Family lives in Greece and follow on IG @thecallawayseat
Renee Cameron - Renee’s son Elijah did his 100 FIRST FOODS after mom had a stressful pregnancy, stressful transition to solids but she loved and thrived on the structure of this program.
Lauren McClure - Lauren’s daughter Kiera is now 13 months but at 4 months had a surgery for a congenital condition. She found so much support in the 100 FIRST FOODS group and Kiera hit all of her feeding milestones thanks to this program!
Mariale Oltra - Mariale is mom to Isabell and had a BLAST helping her try 100 new foods. Mariale was SO helpful to the other parents in our group, always sharing her experiences and how they can help. She’s on IG @marialeoltra.
Kelly Anne Tay - Kelly is a mom based in Singapore who I *think* knows every other mom in Singapore…she has SPREAD the 100 FIRST FOODS movement among her peers and her daughter Kate crushed over 100 foods before her first birthday. She’s so glad she doesn’t need to chase Kate around playdates with a spoon trying to force her to eat and Kelly is on IG @paperexploits
Gina Giacamoni - Gina has her hands full: 3 kids under 3 and baby 2 did 100 FIRST FOODS and baby 3 is just getting started. We LOVED watching Darby Kate succeed with BLW in the 100 FIRST FOODS program and now her little sis Saleh Jo is just getting started with the same approach. Gina is a NICU nurse / working mama and she’s on IG @ginamarie0908

October 08, 2020How to Pre-Load a BLW Spoon: Self-Feeding Technique with Dawn Winkelmann, MS, CCC-SLP
#64: Yes your baby CAN learn to self-feed using a spoon! You might have heard that baby-led weaning means NOT using purees or a spoon...but that’s not the whole story. Purees are an important texture for babies to master - they’re just not the ONLY texture babies can eat!

In this episode I’m joined by BLW expert Dawn Winkelmann, MS, CCC-SLP. Dawn specializes in pediatric swallowing and she’s the feeding expert for ezpz. Dawn also designed the ezpz Tiny Spoon - the award winning baby-led weaning spoon that is REMARKABLY different than any baby spoon you’ve ever seen before!

You can honor the self-feeding principles of baby-led weaning AND teach your baby to self-feed by spoon using Ms. Dawn’s proven pre-loaded spoon technique. She’s walking us through it step-by-step in this episode all about promoting self-feeding with a spoon!

Listen to this episode to learn:
The exact steps you can take during the first few days of baby-led weaning to help promote your baby’s ability to independently feed from his or her first bites!
Why most of the baby spoons on the market are designed for PARENTS to feed babies and why she developed the TINY SPOON that let’s BABIES be in charge of self-feeding!
How your baby learns to dip and then scoop and then eat independently - Dawn’s walking us through the various spoon-related feeding milestones in infant feeding.

October 05, 2020A History of the 100 First Foods Approach to Baby-Led Weaning
#63: Babies can eat way more foods than we give them credit for! In this episode I’m walking you through the history of my 100 FIRST FOODS approach to starting solid foods with baby-led weaning.

From my struggles spoon-feeding my oldest daughter, to discovering baby-led weaning with my quadruplets, switching nutrition careers to focus entirely on baby-led weaning and then refining the 100 FIRST FOODS approach for my 6th & 7th babies (twins!)...I’m taking you on a brief tour of the history of how I came to create my 5-STEP FEEDING FRAMEWORK and the whole #100firstfoods movement!

Since creating the 100 FIRST FOODS approach to BLW in 2016, my program has helped tens of thousands of families get a safe start to solid foods using baby-led weaning. If you’re interested in pushing YOUR baby’s palate to this 100 first foods mark, then let’s get started!

Listen to this episode to learn:
The history of my 100 FIRST FOODS approach to starting solids using baby-led weaning from its inception in 2016
The 5-step feeding framework that shows you which 5 new foods to feed your baby each week as you get started with solid foods using baby-led weaning
Why babies who start solid foods with a baby-led approach are more likely to be independent eaters and LESS likely to be picky eaters (...and how 100 FOODS is a TOTALLY attainable goal for you too!)

September 28, 2020Leafy Greens: 5 Easy Ways For Your Baby to Safely Eat Greens
#61: Can babies safely eat dark green leafy vegetables? Absolutely! It’s not safe for babies to eat raw greens or foods like lettuce or uncooked spinach or kale...but there are a number of ways you can safely prepare greens for baby-led weaning.

In this episode I’m sharing 5 easy ways to feed your baby dark green leafy vegetables. Greens contain unique flavors for your baby to try plus some valuable nutrients. And while plant based foods with iron (like the type in spinach and other greens) aren’t as easily absorbed by the body as animal foods, they’re still important foods for babies to eat (safely!)

Dive into this episode for 5 easy ways your baby can safely learn to eat greens!

Listen to this episode to learn:
Spinach, kale, collard greens, mustard greens, swiss chard and beet greens
5 recipe ideas shared in this episode:
Beet green pesto - you can make this with any green, chop & cook or saute, combine in a blender with lots of olive oil & a little parmesan cheese, add salt for adults later
Swiss chard fritters - again works with any green, use ½ cup of chopped cooked green, 1 cup dry cooked grain and 1 egg. Stir to combine and fry in patties in a high smoke point oil like avocado oil. I like the Primal Kitchen avocado oil & use code FERRARO10 for 10% off at checkout here.
Collard green egg cups - works with greens, especially spinach but combine lightly fork-scrambled raw eggs, a smidge of cheese, seasoning like sage or rosemary or basil and some cooked chopped green. Spray muffin tins with nonstick spray and cook at 350 degrees F for 15-20 min or until egg is set & cooked through
Spinach manicotti - ricotta cheese is a surprisingly low sodium cheese that works well for baby-led weaning. Combine ricotta with eggs and cooked greens or spinach; spoon into pre-cooked manicotti pasta tubes or cooked pasta shells and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 min or until warmed through. Cool before serving to baby.
Kale chips - these are for older babies because crunchy foods can be a choking hazard for earlier eaters. Commercial kale chips are too high in sodium for babies but you can make your own kale chips by spraying with olive oil and baking in a 325 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until slightly crispy

September 24, 2020Car Seat Safety and Feeding Considerations with The Car Seat Lady Alisa Baer, MD
#60: You know how they say, “You don’t know what you don’t know…”? Well, when it comes to infant and child car seat safety, I’m always amazed at how much I did NOT know! In this episode timed to release during CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY WEEK I had the extreme pleasure of interviewing The Car Seat Lady aka Alisa Baer, MD all about car seat safety with a ton of side convo about why we don’t feed babies in the car.

Alisa’s mom is the OG Car Seat Lady and along with her mom and her childhood friend Emily, this 3-lady team has done over 50,000 carseat installs. Alisa is also a board certified pediatrician and she PACKED this interview full of really thoughtful, actional tips for how we can improve our child’s car seat experience.

There are a lot of self-proclaimed “experts” in the car seat field: Alisa is not one of them. She does car seats, full time, nothing else. She is not sponsored and does not take endorsements from car seat companies. She is a straight shooter and tells it like she sees it, based on an INCREDIBLE amount of research and knowledge from her team’s over 70 years combined experience in the field. If you’re one of those people who doesn’t like to compare a million different options, The Car Seat Lady is going to be right up your alley.

Listen to this episode to learn:
The 3 most common mistakes she sees parents of babies age 6-12 making when they install and place babies in the car seat
When it’s time to transition from an infant seat to a convertible seat and what to look for...not to mention why most other countries besides the US keep their children rear-facing well beyond 2 years of age
Why it’s never safe to feed a baby in the car but what you might consider if you do do car snacks for toddlers and older children.

September 14, 2020Is it Too Late to Start Baby-Led Weaning?
#57: Am I too late to switch to baby-led weaning? What if I started spoon-feeding my baby but now I want to switch? How old is too old for a baby to learn how to self-feed?
If any of these questions have ever crossed your mind, this episode has all the answers!

We’re taking a look at what you do if you “missed” that 6-month mark for starting solids with baby-led weaning. Maybe you did traditional spoon-feeding and now your baby expects to be fed. Or what if you have an older baby and you’re just now feeling ready to transition off of purees?

Don’t distress: it is NOT too late for your baby to learn how to self-feed. I’ve got a few proven feeding tricks and tips that will help you fast-track your baby to self-feeding success...even if you *think* you’re getting a late start (you’re NOT! :)

Listen to this episode to learn:
When’s the ideal time to start with baby-led weaning (...and what to do if you “missed” that 6-month mark and now want to start BLW?)
How older babies CAN learn to self-feed (...but it involves YOU needing to stop feeding them :)
The “flavor window” concept, explaining how your baby will learn to like and accept a huge variety of foods and flavors up to a certain age (and it’s later than you think!)
