Description

Hear all about the MOTR approach to baby-led weaning. In this episode, we share our takes on: 

• what we think of baby-led weaning
• how it’s different from simply “starting solids” 
• overcoming obstacles mothers face when considering solids (fear of choking, allergens, breastfeeding relationships, etc). 
• why we don’t care about added sodium for infants and what that evidence actually says (hint: it’s inconclusive)
• how we feel about purée pouches and stereotypical “baby food”
• why your pediatrician is not the expert on baby-led weaning
• signs of readiness and why anything under 6 months old is too young to start solids

Stay tuned for part 2 for an even deeper dive on meals we offer our children, BLW hacks, staying the course during travel and dining out, and so much more.
