11. Dads of BLW. What it’s like being married to a BLW and toddler dietitian and being a dad through the starting solids process – feat. TJ McMahon
First Bites: Baby-Led Weaning & BeyondShow Notes
A follower recently asked me: “What’s it like for your husband to have the responsibilities of being Dad in the feeding journey while also being married to a dietitian who specializes in baby-led weaning (BLW) and toddler nutrition?”
It was such a great question that I brought him on the podcast to chat about this exact topic, and provide his insight! He’s here answering your questions!
We talk about:
What the BLW and feeding journey has been like for him as Dad, main chef in our home, and husband of a BLW/toddler dietitian
His insight on how parents can reduce their anxiety surrounding the feeding process
What mealtime looks like now, for our family, with a 3-year-old
and more!
Definitely a must-listen!

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.
