#29: How We Approached Baby-Led Weaning: Part 1

  • Summary

  • Hear all about the MOTR approach to baby-led weaning. In this episode, we share our takes on:

    • what we think of baby-led weaning
    • how it’s different from simply “starting solids”
    • overcoming obstacles mothers face when considering solids (fear of choking, allergens, breastfeeding relationships, etc).
    • why we don’t care about added sodium for infants and what that evidence actually says (hint: it’s inconclusive)
    • how we feel about purée pouches and stereotypical “baby food”
    • why your pediatrician is not the expert on baby-led weaning
    • signs of readiness and why anything under 6 months old is too young to start solids

    Stay tuned for part 2 for an even deeper dive on meals we offer our children, BLW hacks, staying the course during travel and dining out, and so much more.
