Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro
GERD: Does Starting Solids Early Help Babies with GERD? with Peter Lu, MD
#182: What do babies with reflux or GERD need to do differently when it comes to starting solid foods? In this episode pediatric gastroenterologist Peter Lu, MD is joining me to run through how having GERD affects a baby's ability to do baby-led weaning. Dr. Lu specializes in motility disorders and is a real life first time dad of baby Emma. They’re doing baby-led weaning with her, so he knows exactly what you’re going through too!
If you’ve ever been told that starting solid foods early will help manage a baby's GERD, Dr. Lu has some new and exciting research and findings that will reframe how you think about timing your GERD baby’s intro to solid foods.
Listen to this episode to learn:
- Why parents of babies with GERD or reflux symptoms are told to start solid foods early and why we need to reframe the timeline for introduction for babies with reflux symptoms
- What reflux is, why the worst is probably behind you by the time your baby is ready to start solid foods, and what if any modifications we should make for BLW in GERD babies
- Dr. Lu’s own baby-led weaning journey with his first baby Emma and his thoughts about dad guilt when it comes to offering her new foods as a working parent
