In this episode, we are giving you all the information you need to know about starting solids through spoon feeding and purees for your baby. While we are big Baby Led Weaning fans, and have done a couple of episodes about this method way back on the pod, this week we talk about why the more traditional way of starting solids may be right for your family compared to Baby Led Weaning. We also give our listeners some much needed life updates and a peek into what is in store for Mom, What's For Dinner? and Jen Belanger Nutrition.
