#44: Are you just starting out with baby-led weaning and FULL of questions about whether your baby can safely self-feed? Well then, this is the episode for you! I’m going to rapid fire answering your questions about getting a SAFE start to baby-led weaning.

In this Ask Me Anything episode I’m covering the topics of readiness to feed, gagging, food refusal, scheduling, weaning from the bottle, dealing with doubters and family members who say, “you were spoon fed and you turned out fine!!”. Also diving into what your baby should drink, flavoring your baby’s food without salt and sugar, daycare, constipation and CHEESE!!

1. How much gagging is normal? My 7 MO seems to be hating BLW b/c he is gagging a lot

2. If baby refuses a food, should we get something different out or accept & try again next meal?

3. @ckbillman1 How many times a day offer BLW to 6-7m old, how many meals/d until 1 year

4. @mrsrobinson1229 How/When to wean from bottle, what should timeline be

5. @jessigreer1 What to tell family when they say “but you turned out fine” I didn’t; I don’t like veg

5. @jenc818 Do you offer water every meal? How much?

6. @patelzil how can i incorporate indian vegetables dishes with spices...trying to raise veg baby

7. @babielonian how do I know if my 6m old ready to start?

8. @vidd.au what cheese can 8 month old baby have?

9. @bri0085 v interested in BLW but do daycare 3X a week, recommend purees there?

10. @reginanelan how to deal with extreme constipation and pain?
