05. Your own fears don’t have to hold you back from baby-led weaning (BLW) feat. first-time mom Jessica S.
First Bites: Baby-Led Weaning & BeyondShow Notes
Navigating the world of starting solids can feel daunting when we have our own personal fears as parents: choking, baby not gaining enough weight, doing it wrong, being judged by others, not giving baby the right nutrients, you name it.
In this episode I talk with first-time mom Jessica, about her experience with baby-led weaning (BLW). We talk about:
why she chose it as the best option for her daughter
how she overcame her personal fears to let her daughter have the experience she dreamed of
how BLW has benefitted their whole family
If you’ve been feeling like you’re not cut out to do BLW but want to, this episode is for you.

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.
