#45: Wondering what should actually be on your baby’s plate during baby-led weaning? In this episode, you’ll learn how to build a balanced plate using a simple structure that supports independent eating and provides the nutrients your baby needs. Learn why less variety is okay in the beginning, how to structure a 20-minute meal, and which foods go where on your baby’s plate.

1. Why there are no such thing as set portion sizes for babies (....if you see them: they are made up!)

2. How to offer 1 new food per day while still continuing to expose your baby to familiar foods

3. Which foods to place where in the ezpz Mini Mat / suction plate (...it actually does matter)
