Ultimate Baby Nutrition: What Foods to Start With and How to Introduce Them
Wed May 07 2025
Starting solids is such an exciting milestone in your baby's life. However, it can be a confusing time for parents filled with uncertainty and a lot of questions about how and when to take this step.
I want to help mamas find an approach to starting solids that feels right for you and your baby — whether baby-led weaning, purees, or a combination of both. This is an incredible opportunity to help ensure that your baby establishes a strong start right from the beginning and I am here to help.
In today's episode, I share a general overview about what are the best foods to start with, when to start feeding the baby, and what method is best. There is no right or wrong, just what works for you and your family.
I hope you get some clarity and confidence for starting solids with your baby from this episode. Enjoy!
