Ready or thinking about the next step of how to introduce solids to your little one?

In this episode of Partners Beyond Parenting, I share my personal journey of navigating baby-led weaning and why it became the main method we chose.

If you're approaching your baby's six-month milestone and debating between purees, baby-led weaning, or a mix of both, you're not alone!

I talk you through how we made our decision, the pros and cons of each method, and the challenges we faced along the way. From messy mealtimes to concerns about choking, and even how we balanced our busy lifestyle, I’ll offer insights into the realities of both approaches.

Baby-led weaning has helped foster our child’s independence, but it wasn’t without its hiccups. If you're a new parent looking for guidance or just curious about which method might fit your family, this episode will give you the clarity you need to make the best choice for your little one.

I hope it helps you in your own parenting journey!
