Summer is such a fun time to play with flavor and get your little ones excited about fresh fruits/veggies. Even if you’re past the baby-led weaning (BLW) and starting solids stage, you can still use the summer to increase that curiosity by continuing to try new foods and flavors, as well as talk about them or have your toddlers help prep them, cook them, whatever!
This episode will cover 10 summer food staples, including how to serve these foods safely to our little ones, and fun ideas for how we can offer them.
Foods included (but not limited to) are:
Strawberries
Tomatoes
Basil
Corn
Peaches
& more!
Tune in to grab some fresh new ideas so you can dive into these summer months with some fun ways to share summer meals with your babies and toddlers!

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.
