Where does your kids' temperament come from, how strict should you be & is it okay to be a 'good enough' parent? Honestly, the last few months have truly humbled me - being a parent is HARD and with so much advice out there, it's VERY tricky to know what's best for your children. So what IS good for your kids? Luckily, Dr Norman Swan has done the work for us - from birth to ten years old in his new book So You Want To Know What's Good For Your Kids. If you're an Aussie, you'll know his name - he trained in pediatrics and he's also a dad, so he knows the struggle!! We talk through some of the biggest takeaways - everything from where our kids' temperament comes from, how to strike the right balance when it comes to discipline and what it means to be a ‘good enough parent'.

Katie Ferraro of @babyledweanteam is a mother of seven, registered dietician and baby led weaning proponent. Baby-led weaning is a method of introducing solid foods to babies where purees and spoon-feeding are skipped in favor of finger foods,  allowing the baby to self-feed. When Katie found out she was pregnant with quadruplets, she knew she needed the easiest, most effective way to feed her babies, and has developed a digital community support program on baby-led weaning and founded her "100 First Foods" program.  The idea is to introduce 100 foods to your baby before the age of one!

Do you even have 100 different foods in your house right now?   In this episode, Katie explains what baby-led weaning really means (yes, the name is confusing) and answers everything you need to know about introducing solid foods such as:When is the right time to do begin baby-led weaning?How can you reduce parental anxiety around introducing foods?What can be done about picky eaters and how to prevent them?Are pureed foods ever necessary?What constitutes a food allergy and is there a way to avoid them from the start?

What exactly is baby led weaning, and how to make it happen? In this 3 episode series, Dr. Amy breaks down the concepts behind baby led weaning (compared to traditional introduction of solid foods), exactly how to apply it, and some thoughts on how you can make the process your own. Since baby led weaning has become more and more popular, the phrase has become confusing for many families as it seems to encompass many different concepts - timing, food choices, methods, etc. In this first episode of the series, Dr. Amy focuses on just defining the concept of baby led weaning, as well as the possible benefits associated with it. 

Our 'bread and butter' (no pun intended!) but as with everything our perspective and advice changes over time so time for an update! What are the current important messages we should be conveying to parents as they begin to introduce solids to their babies. Why should we not be calling it 'weaning' and what about giving milk alongside solids? What signs of readiness should we look for? What is responsive feeding in terms of solid foods and what key messages about this should we be passing on to parents? What is the current guidance on introducing allergens, including where there is a known allergy in the family? We put the emphasis on discussing the important messages about food - feeding responsively to the child's cues, building healthy habits for life, satiety and hunger signals, the social aspects of a mealtime and enjoyment of food; rather than on arbitrary rules or lists of requirements.

Feeding your baby is never as simple as it sounds. It starts when they're born with the breastmilk vs. formula debate, and just as you think you've settled into a solid routine with bottles, it's time to start solids. I've always been excited about introducing my daughter to food, but when the pediatrician gave us the go-ahead to start solids, I definitely panicked. Two months later, I still have no idea what I'm doing.

So many of you ask me about feeding babies, introducing solid foods, there are a lot of you who have older children who are still stuck on pureed food. So today, I have brought on a guest who is a specialist on feeding babies and has created an online program called Baby Meets Food (use coupon code DORIT10 to get 10% off your purchase price). We are going to talk about milestones, baby led feeding, how to help our children feel successful about feeding themselves. Researching this approach I’ve learned that this approach to feeding promotes healthy eating, a positive relationship with food and also prevents picky eating later on! So many of you struggle with picky eating, so this approach can help with promoting Feeding can have a powerful influence not only on the physical health of children but also on their social and emotional health. The feeding interactions used by parents can support or hinder their children’s healthy development and can affect parental satisfaction with parenting. A positive feeding relationship is essential for a child’s proper nutrition and growth. Interactions related to feeding have a powerful impact on how children feel about themselves and the world. As I always say, feeding is parenting and it is our responsibility as parents to help children have a positive relationship with food. So, today’s guest, Didi Tonev is going to talk to us all about feeding baby. Bio: Didi is a growth seeker.

Worried you might be starting your baby off on the wrong foot by weaning onto all the foods that ended up causing you so much trouble? Are you tired (or frightened) of stick blenders, ice cub trays and sippy cups? Are your instincts telling you "there must be a better way to wean"? The minimalist approach to baby-led weaning Cara and Julia discuss in this interview is both simple and effective, listen in and then send us your questions! Here’s the outline of this interview with Julia Kelly and Cara Champeny: [00:00:18] Both Julia and Cara have been through the paleo baby weaning process. [00:00:53] Cara, like me, has had her own personal health issues that were resolved by a paleo-type diet. [00:01:44] Cara's older son Wills was weaned in the usual way (onto cereal grains). [00:02:36] Wills also ended up with GI issues. [00:02:58] Cara was sure she wanted to do things differently with her youngest daughter, Maisie. [00:04:02] Baby-led weaning. [00:04:15] Avoiding exposure you things you'd rather they didn't develop a palette for. [00:04:43] Babies shouldn't need special food. [00:05:39] Creating problems for yourself. [00:06:00] Confidence and being different. [00:06:27] Cara is able to get her own way at home when it comes to food. [00:07:23] Julie initially looked to The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care. [00:08:16] Trading one dogma for another. [00:08:29] Trust your instincts. [00:09:37] The NT book was way too regimented. [00:09:55] Julia waited until Ivy was sitting upright. [00:10:24] Letting baby use their gums. [00:11:37] Cara thought Maisie would be ready for food at 6 months, not so. [00:12:40] Ivy was properly eating food at 8-10 months. [00:13:12] You shouldn't need to prop them up for feeding. [00:13:43] Introducing something other than sweet. [00:14:04] The window of opportunity, [00:14:23] Ivy started eating whole fruit age 2-3 years. [00:15:02] Ivy loved holding things, e.g. a lamb chop bone. [00:16:02] Gagging vs choking. [00:17:18] Maisie got really good at "gagging food forward". [00:19:50] Pre chewing food at 8-9 months. [00:21:25] Wild Planet Wild Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil. [00:21:32] US Wellness Meats. We particularly enjoy their liverwurst, braunschweiger, head cheese and pemmican. [00:22:12] Pre chewing donates digestive enzymes. [00:23:40] Maisie loves meat, loved pre chewed food. [00:24:30] Could the absence of meat early cause aversions later? [00:27:05] Simplifying things in the kitchen. [00:28:04] Real food negates the need to worry about excess salt. [00:29:36] Looking for the most nutrient dense foods possible. [00:29:57] Special "stuff" for parents. [00:30:57] Skip the mesh things, they're too hard to clean. [00:31:22] Breast feeding is as easy as it gets, bottles and pumping are hard. [00:32:06] No sippy cups. [00:32:21] Klean Kanteen. [00:32:42] Throwing out the daily schedule to reduce stress. [00:34:13] Eating larger meals less frequently with a lot of fat. [00:34:58] Eating for sustained energy and stable blood sugar. [00:35:27] Ivy tended towards a 4-day cycle, eating more some days, less on others. [00:36:05] Don't force feed. [00:36:28] The importance of mindfulness. [00:38:17] Emotional attachment to food. [00:38:47] It Starts With Food (but doesn't end with food) [00:39:53] Try not to project your own wants or needs onto the child. [00:40:51] Surviving birthday parties. [00:41:53] Not using treats as a tool. [00:42:22] Gluten-free products. [00:44:11] Cara tries to make light of the inevitable slip ups. [00:44:50] The more you say don't eat that, the more they want it. [00:46:39] Being reminded of the mistakes of the past. [00:47:19] Laying the foundation early. [00:47:53] The goal of a healing diet is the reintroductions. [00:49:15] Not everything your paediatrician says has to happen. [00:49:36] Baby-Led Weaning: The Essential Guide to Introducing Solid Foods-and Helping Your Baby to Grow Up a Happy and Confident Eater. [00:49:56] Real food Mamas podcast. [00:50:06] Babies by science part I and Vaccines with Dr Tommy Wood. [00:50:32] Avoiding egg white and nuts early. [00:50:55] Our babies like good dark chocolate. [00:51:22] Avacado. [00:52:00] Squash and yam. [00:52:10] Homemade jerky. [00:52:30] Maisie loves fruit. [00:52:51] Grain-, Gluten-, and Guilt-Free Pancakes by Chris Kresser. [00:53:53] Ivy doesn't like things too sweet now. [00:54:26] Root vegetables, winter squash cooked in bone broth. [00:55:22] Ivy likes liver. [00:55:41] Maisie likes salmon and venison.
