18 min • 26 juli 2021

#147: What if you are the only one who wants to do baby-led weaning? It can feel isolating when other people don’t understand why you are choosing to skip traditional spoon-feeding with your baby. There are many benefits to baby-led weaning, but helping others understand what those are can feel overwhelming.

In this episode I’m helping walk you through 4 essential steps for helping those around you understand the WHY when it comes to baby-led weaning. These are my “4 E’s for Easing Others into BLW”: Educate, Experience, Explain & Exhibit...and once you have them down, I know you’ll feel better about helping others understand why you’re taking this important step in your baby’s development.

Listen to this episode to learn:

Educate yourself about baby-led weaning
Experience it with your baby without anyone else’s intervention
Explain what BLW is using simplified language
Exhibit your baby self-feeding...seeing really is believing for others!
