#19: Baby Led Weaning Myths You Can Ignore!

In this episode of the My Little Eater Podcast, I’ll be busting a few of the most common myths about baby led weaning. I’m sure you’ve heard these before… traditional puree feeding is safer… wait, nevermind, finger foods are safe for all babies… or even, babies need teeth to have actual solid foods. Nope, nope, and nope! Deciding whether to go the traditional feeding route with purees, or to go the baby led weaning route, is a difficult task. You might even decide that a mixed approach is the best fit for your family - yes, this IS an option! Either way, let me help you make this decision by providing you with the facts. It can be information overload out there in Google-land, so listen in to hear the truths behind baby led weaning, before you decide which option is best for you and your baby. Then, I’ll be here to support you - no matter what method you choose! As always, if you get value from this podcast, please subscribe, rate, and review it at Apple Podcasts.
