    #106: Yes, making wholesome food for your baby from scratch sounds amazing...but who has all day to do it?! Babies can eat modified versions of the same foods the rest of the family eats, and Ellie Krieger is going to show you how to do it using only one pot or one pan!  Ellie Krieger, MS, RDN is a culinary nutritionist who helps you find the sweet spot where delicious and healthy meet. She’s the host of public television series “Ellie’s Real Good Food” and previously hosted “Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger” on the Food Network. She’s written for the Washington Post and has authored 7 award winning cookbooks...and Ellie’s latest book “WHOLE in One: Complete Healthy Meals in a Single Pot, Sheet Pan, or Skillet” is great for cooking wholesome meals but not needing all day (or to dirty all the dishes!) while doing so. In this episode Ellie is sharing how you can help your baby learn to taste the flavors and seasoning of food (...and not the salt) and make complete meals for your family and your baby using just one sheet pan, pot or skillet. This episode is part of our National Nutrition Month series highlighting the work of Registered Dietitians in the field of food, nutrition and feeding. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. Some of her favorite convenience foods that will save you time in the kitchen...it’s ok to cut corners with these wholesome ingredients! 2. Why she values family meals - and how you can make them a reality even if you’re a working parent or don’t consider yourself that great of a cook. 3.

  2. 5 Survival Skills for Managing the BLW Mess

    5 Survival Skills for Managing the BLW Mess

    #105: Does the baby-led weaning mess STRESS you out? If you want to know how to prevent the BLW mess...well there’s no way to do that. But you can take steps to minimize the baby-led weaning mess. In this episode I’m sharing 5 survival skills for MANAGING the BLW mess! We’re chatting about bibs (including the types you DON’T want to use with your baby that are dangerous or interfere with their development), splash mats (what works and what falls apart in the washing machine), best baby plates and bowls for keeping things clean-ish, as well as my kitchen sink soak method for quick cleanup.  And we’re dishing a bit about non-toxic household cleaners. I’m sharing my favorites that actually get the BLW food mess out and are safe to use around your baby. Listen to this episode to learn: 1.  Use a full coverage bib (but not the restrictive tent-type contraptions that limit baby’s range of motion as he or she is learning how to eat) 2.  Use a splash mat under the baby’s high chair or table 3.  Use a silicone suction mat or bowl when feeding baby and refrain from feeding off the high chair tray or the table 4.  Try the kitchen sink quick soak method I mention in the episode 5.  Get to the BLW mess when it’s wet (before it dries!) using a non-toxic household cleaner that ACTUALLY gets food mess out!  Shownotes for this episode can be found here: https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/105 Links from This Episode: • Bapron Baby bapron bibs are here. • The “toddler” size says it’s for 6 months to 3 years; I’ve never had babies be able to wear this size after 2 but this is the size you get for infants starting solids • The “preschool” sizes says it’s for age 3+ but again, my kids and families usually transition to this seize around age 2 • The code KATIE10 gets you 10% off everything at bapronbaby.com  • Bapron Baby splash mats are here. These are pricier than other splash mats, but definitely worth it. The material is really durable, non-plastic, can rinse in your kitchen sink & reuse and they’re huge, can put under 2 high chairs at a time or use as a picnic blanket. Code KATIE10 works for 10% off at bapronbaby.com for these too. • The silicone suction mats and bowls I use are from ezpz. The products I like most for BLw are: • The ezpz First Foods Set: everything you need to get a safe start to solid food, includes a Tiny Bowl, 2-pack of Tiny Spoons and the Tiny Cup • The Mini Bowl & Mini Mat. • Everything at ezpzfun.com is 10% off with code KATIE10 • The best non-toxic household cleaners I have used are from Branch Basics. I love that they use the same concentrate to make every product in their lineup. You can get 15% off their starter kits with the code KATIE15 (spend a little more for the premium starter kit with the oxygen boost, it’s AMAZING for getting food stains out of clothes!) • Blog Post: 5 Benefits of Using a Suction Mat or Bowl is here  • Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro program with the 100 First Foods™ Daily Meal Plan, join here: https://babyledweaning.co/program  and use the code BLWPOD50 to save $50 when you sign up. •  Baby-Led Weaning for Beginners free online workshop with 100 First Foods™ list to all attendees, register here: https://babyledweaning.co/baby-led-weaning-for-beginners 🌱 🌱🌱🌱 🌱 Not sure about which foods to offer your baby next?

    The Future of Baby-Led Weaning with its Founding Philosopher Gill Rapley, PhD (Part 2)

    #102 In Part 2 of this conversation with Gill Rapley, PhD, the founding philosopher of the baby-led weaning approach, we look ahead at the future of baby-led weaning. Gill shares where she hopes the research will go, how social media has both helped and complicated the conversation around baby-led weaning, and why trust, respect, and shared family meals remain at the heart of the philosophy. We also explore how healthcare providers, therapists, and parents can better support your baby’s ability to self-feed, while rethinking outdated ideas about spoon-feeding, oral skill development, and how babies learn to eat. Listen to this episode to learn: 1.  How parents can step back from controlling feeding and start trusting your baby’s natural ability to self-feed from 6 months on 2. Why Gill Rapley challenges the idea of repeatedly pushing foods until a baby “accepts” them, and how that changes the way we think about starting solid foods 3. What role social media has played in shaping the future of baby-led weaning, for better and for worse, and why Gill chooses not to police online baby-led weaning conversations Shownotes for this episode can be found here: https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/102 Links from This Episode: • Listen to part 1 of this interview with Gill Rapley in episode 100 “The History of Baby-Led Weaning with its Founding Philosopher Gill Rapley, PhD” (Part 1) here • The original BLW book “Baby-Led Weaning: The Essential Guide” that Gill Rapley co-authored has been completely overhauled and updated for its 10th anniversary edition and is available here  • Her website is rapleyweaning.com. • She spoke at length about the importance of Amy Brown’s research on baby-led weaning.

    The History of Baby-Led Weaning with its Founding Philosopher Gill Rapley, PhD (Part 1)

    #100: Gill Rapley, PhD helped give baby-led weaning its name, and more importantly, its philosophy: feeding led by your baby, not done to your baby. In Part 1 of our interview, Gill shares how baby-led weaning took shape, why waiting until babies are truly ready matters, and what she says to the skeptics who still doubt a baby’s ability to self-feed. Listen to this episode to learn: 1.  How Gill’s work as a UK health visitor led her to a simple insight: many babies aren’t refusing food, they’re resisting being fed 2. Why baby-led weaning challenged the “normal” approach to starting solid foods, and what Gill says to the skeptics 3. How she and Tracey Murkett turned parent questions and real-life feeding observations into Baby-Led Weaning: The Essential Guide This interview is part of a 2-part series with Gill Rapley, PhD. In this episode (100) we cover the history of baby-led weaning with its founding philosopher. In the next interview with Gill (102) we will talk about her ideas for the future of BLW and where she sees the movement going and what she would like to see more of (and less of) when it comes to promoting self-feeding from baby’s first bites.
