In this episode, Jamie starts a new recurring series where a client calls in to talk through a topic - 'Real (Mom) Talk'. Submit your question on our site - https://www.nurturebynaps.com if you're interested!

Today, Jamie tackles Starting Solids! Often times when there is a LOT of overwhelming information out there about a certain topic…it means there's no right way, there's many right ways. You aren't going to mess this up.

To help get you started…here are some questions / topics that are addressed during the podcast:

- What are the readiness signs for starting solids? - Purees vs. Solids - Common myths - Allergen exposure - how often and when? What time of day? - How quickly can allergic reactions come on and at what point in exposure? - What's the right plan for you AND your baby? - What IS baby led weaning actually? Is it a range of options? - What's different about a baby's gag reflex? Is it a good thing? - What does this mean for breastfed babies in terms of iron? - What is the palmer reflex? What size food is good during this stage? - When babies can pinch, how big and soft should the food be? - Should my nanny / daycare provider take on some meals? - What does this mean for formula or breastmilk schedule? - Do I need to wait 3 days between exposures? - How long until a baby likes something they originally disliked? - What's the best way to plan this into my day? - When can I feed my baby table foods we are eating already? - Can a baby over eat?
