3 Ways You Could Be Holding Your Baby Back at Mealtimes

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

Nobody holds their baby’s development back on purpose…but there are feeding practices that can inadvertently be delaying your baby’s progression towards important milestones. In this episode I’m sharing 3 ways you could be holding your baby back at mealtimes - and then brainstorming on simple tweaks to help get your baby back on track with independent self-feeding.

SUMMARY OF EPISODE

In this episode we’re talking about:

• How purees are an important texture for babies to master, they're just not the only texture for foods babies can - or should - babies can eat

• Why filing to offer allergenic foods can actually increase risk of choking

• Why soft sticks of food that squeeze easily between your forefinger and your thumb
