Interviewing my Mom: How She Didn’t Like BLW at First & Why She Changed

22 minutes

BONUS 6: Ever been told by your mom, “Well, you were spoon-fed and you turned out just fine?!” SAME. It took my mom a LONG time to come around to baby-led weaning.

In this special Mother’s Day episode I’m interviewing my own mom, Mary Clark, RD - aka Granny. We’re chatting about how she introduced solids with me 42 years ago, how that changed for her next 5 kids and what she REALLY thinks about baby-led weaning 20 grandkids later.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you...you are doing a FABULOUS job feeding those babies & keep up the good work. I hope you enjoy this little chat with my mom.

Listen to this episode to learn:

How she introduced solids to me when I was a baby 42 years ago...and reminisces about how expensive babies can be and the time she cried at the grocery store

Why she initially thought baby-led weaning was “silly”...but how she eventually came around on it and might even now be considered a BLW advocate too

What she thought about me feeding our babies broccoli (spoiler alert: she freaked) and ideas on how you can talk to your mom or mother-in-law if they’re not into BLW right away either
