#84: Have you been told to wait 3–5 days between introducing new foods to your baby? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Carina Venter, PhD, RD—one of the world's leading experts in pediatric food allergy prevention—to explain why this advice is outdated and unsupported by research. We break down when allergic reactions actually occur, why introducing one or more new foods per day is safe, and how unnecessary delays can limit diet diversity during a critical window for learning to eat.

#84: Have you been told to wait 3–5 days between introducing new foods to your baby? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Carina Venter, PhD, RD—one of the world's leading experts in pediatric food allergy prevention—to explain why this advice is outdated and unsupported by research. We break down when allergic reactions actually occur, why introducing one or more new foods per day is safe, and how unnecessary delays can limit diet diversity during a critical window for learning to eat.

#82: Many moms expect their bodies to “bounce back” after having a baby…but months later, odds are they're still dealing with leaking, pressure, weakness, or discomfort and wondering if this is just how it's going to be forever? In this episode, I'm joined by Marcy Crouch, DPT, a board-certified women's health physical therapist and founder of The Down There Doc, to break down what postpartum core and pelvic floor recovery really looks like. We talk about what's normal, what's not, and how moms, including those thinking about future pregnancies can start healing their bodies with confidence, even if they're six months or more postpartum. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. What postpartum core and pelvic floor symptoms are common at six months after having a baby, and which ones are not something you should ignore. 2. How everyday tasks like feeding, lifting, and carrying your baby can affect your pelvic floor…and simple ways to reduce strain. 3. Why addressing pelvic floor health now can help you feel stronger, more comfortable, and better prepared for future pregnancies.

#79: What changes in feeding when your baby turns 1? Honestly...not a whole lot. But we do make the transition to cow's milk and that can be kind of tricky for some families. In this episode we're looking at how to pick milk when your baby turns 1. From questions about how much to feed, what types of cow's milk to try, transitioning from breastmilk and/or formula to cow's milk and milk alternatives, I'm answering all your questions on how to pick a milk when your baby turns 1. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. Why it's ok for babies to have cow's milk protein in yogurt, low sodium cheeses and other dairy foods but why we don't substitute fluid cow's milk for breastmilk and/or formula until baby turns 1 2.  What to look for in the milk aisle when you're choosing a cow's milk for your baby at or after the 1 year mark 3.  How to wean baby off of the bottle (and when to do that) and what to consider if you need to do a cow's milk alternative if your baby has cow's milk protein allergy or you're a vegan family Shownotes for this episode can be found here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/79 Links from this episode: • Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro program with the 100 First Foods™ Daily Meal Plan, join here: ⁠https://babyledweaning.co/program⁠ • 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 Other episodes related to this topic: • Episode 13 - “Milk Protein: How to Introduce Your Baby to this Potentially Allergenic Food”⁠ • Episode 40  - “6 Reasons to Skip the Sippy Cup with Dawn Winkelmann, MS, CCC-SLP” ⁠ • Episode 285 - “Are Plant-Based Milks Safe for Babies?”

#74: What is your baby's behavior at mealtime telling you? Is it possible to spoil a baby by feeding him too much? Can babies even exhibit “bad” behavior? In this episode author, child development and parenting specialist Tina Payne Bryson, PhD is joining me to break it ALL down when it comes to your baby's behavior at mealtimes - diving DEEP into what the science says! Tina is the co-author of well-known parenting books such as The Whole-Brain Child and No Drama Discipline (...aka the BIBLE when my quadruplets were toddlers and I had NO idea how to compassionately discipline!) I love Tina's science-based approach to tackling topics and she's covering a TON of baby behavior in her new book The Bottom Line For Baby. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. Why it's basically impossible to spoil your baby...so don't worry that your doting or your preferred method for starting solid foods is going to spoil your baby. It won't! 2. How to connect and redirect when our babies are playing with or dropping food. Plus Tina also covers how these behaviors change during different stages of infancy. 3. How baby-led weaning helps babies develop “interception” - or the idea of what's going on internally...so they're learning how to recognize & respond to their hunger cues.

#73: It is hard not to panic when your baby shows no interest in food. They ignore what you offer, barely taste anything, and you start worrying about nutrition, iron, and whether something might be wrong. This slow start is one of the most stressful parts of offering solid foods. The good news is that most babies take time to learn how to eat, and early disinterest is usually completely normal. In this episode, I explain why many babies ignore food at first, how to support them during this learning phase, what to avoid, and when it might be helpful to get extra guidance. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. Why it is normal for babies to ignore food at first and why you can stop worrying about how much they eat 2. When most babies start eating more and what to do if your baby is not showing that progress yet. 3. How to set up calm, consistent practice so your baby builds the skills they need to become a confident self-feeder.

#66: How are parents supposed to navigate picking baby foods that contain the least amount of harmful toxins if food companies don't disclose that info? A new California law, AB 899, requires baby food companies to test for toxic elements like lead and arsenic—and to post those results online. But when Consumer Reports writer and nutritionist Jessica D'Argenio Waller investigated 39 popular baby food brands, she found that some are making it nearly impossible for parents to access that information. In this episode Jessica joins me to explain what AB899 means for parents everywhere (...not just in California), which companies are stepping up with true transparency and why finding out what's really in your baby's food shouldn't require a scavenger hunt. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. What California's new baby food transparency law requires…and why it matters even if you don't live in California 2. How Consumer Reports investigated the 39 baby food brands they studied…and which ones you probably won't be buying anymore 3. Why you can't totally prevent toxic element exposure for your baby (even if you don't buy baby food), but how you can minimize risk if you're doing baby-led weaning Shownotes for this episode can be found here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/66⁠ Links from this episode: • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get $10 off first year of Consumer Reports membership when you sign up here (this is not an affiliate link): https://www.cr.org/blw • Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro program with the 100 First Foods™ Daily Meal Plan, join here: ⁠https://babyledweaning.co/program⁠ • 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 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Other episodes related to this topic: •  Episode 208 Heavy Metals in Baby Food with @consumerreports James E.

#57: Worried that you missed your chance to start baby-led weaning? Maybe you started with purees, got a late start start, or are scared to try out finger foods. Whatever the reason you're feeling behind - it's not too late to make the switch to solid foods.
