First Bites: Baby-Led Weaning & BeyondShow Notes
Ahhh, the unsolicited comments we all experience at some time or another during our journey as a parent. It can come from a stranger or someone very close to you! And it’s not always meant with bad intention, but it can be perceived that way. It feels like an attack on us and our ability to parent/raise a well-nourished child. This episode dives deep in handling the tough comments and conversations you may want to or need to have around feeding and body image comments that are made in relation to your baby or toddler – and some apply to older children too!

We all know that our little ones are listening to every word we say. Even when they aren’t able to fully understand words, they’re able to begin picking up on mood and emotions, and get a general sense of how we’re feeling.
Will baby love solids? Will they know what to do right away What if they gag?
You may have heard of sensory play, but what exactly does it entail and how can it impact early childhood feeding and food acceptance?
So maybe baby isn’t quite ready for solids yet… are there things we can do to help prepare them? Or should we just show up one day and do it?
Sickness can really throw us, and our little ones for a loop. We often want to provide the best care, but it can be a little unnerving when our child won’t eat. We wonder if they’re getting enough nutrition and fluids to help them get better.
