There are many different approaches to introducing solids to your baby. As a mama who has done this 5 times, I share the approach that has worked well for us. This is based upon experience and research. What is baby led weaning? It is when you offer your baby food from your family meals cut up into finger sized foods allowing them to self-feed. We discuss: -How to know your baby is ready for solids -How to introduce high-allergen foods -The difference between choking and gagging -Benefits of the BLW method   Resources: Baby-Led Weaning: The Essential Guide by Gill Rapley, PhD, and Tracey Murkett   Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

Feeding your child can be one of those parenting stressors, especially when your little one is young and can't tell you what they need. Did I feed them enough? Did I give them the right kind of food? This week on the podcast we'll talk to two parents that are going through feeding dilemmas. First, a mom in South Carolina is concerned that her 10-month-old is refusing purees. Then, a mom Missouri is changing up her breastfeeding schedule and wants to make sure her little one is still getting the nutrition she needs. The good news is that this is one of those things we put more pressure on than necessary and we'll tell you why! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode: 2290 The Platonic "regular" solids: mathematics and divinity.  Today, guest scientist Andrew Boyd looks at some divine shapes.

Introducing solids to our babies can feel scary, but it doesn't have to follow one strict guide. We can overcome anxiety and create an environment around food that establishes healthy long-term eating habits.  This week on The Momwell Podcast, I'm joined by Jenny Best, founder of Solid Starts, to discuss how we can rethink our approach to feeding and learn how to trust ourselves and our baby.

Looking to maximize efficiency while minimizing shipping costs? Keen on shrinking your company's and clients' carbon footprint? Concerned about the complexities of transporting hazardous liquid materials? Picture this: You're tasked with moving a three-hundred-gallon tote of corrosives to the twelfth floor of an office building. Or perhaps you've encountered the challenge of maneuvering a two-hundred-pound tote across pristine mahogany floors, all while hoping against leaks on the way to the cooling tower. If these scenarios resonate with you, our latest episode is a must-listen! Join us as Blaine Nagao, CWT, Senior Director of Smart Release Technology at Dober, answers a multitude of questions about how solid technology works and how it differs from liquid technology. Blaine debunks old misconceptions about solid technologies. Learn how to match the right equipment with the products you're using and gain insight into controlling as many variables as possible upfront by adopting solid technology. Discover how solid technology can eliminate the need for hefty shipping fees, significantly reduce your carbon footprint, and save money for both your company and your clients. Tune in for an educational, insightful, and positive discussion that could revolutionize your bottom line. Understanding the Formula for Cost Savings with Solid Chemistry Technology Blaine explains that the cost savings from using solid chemistry technology come from several key areas: Reduced Shipping Costs Decreased Storage Space Requirements Lower Risk of Spills and Accidents Let's break these down: Reduced Shipping Costs Solid chemistry products are more concentrated than their liquid counterparts. This means you can ship smaller quantities, which reduces the overall shipping cost. For example:  - Liquid product: 100 gallons (heavy, requires special handling) -  Solid product: Equivalent treatment power in a smaller, lighter package Decreased Storage Space Requirements Solid products take up less space than liquid ones, meaning you can store more product in the same amount of space. This can lead to lower storage costs, especially in facilities where space is at a premium. Lower Risk of Spills and Accidents Handling liquids, especially hazardous ones, carries a significant risk of spills and accidents, which can be costly. Solids minimize this risk, leading to fewer incidents and lower associated costs. Blaine's Formula Blaine suggests considering the total cost of ownership rather than just the upfront cost. The formula he uses involves calculating the savings in the following areas: Total Savings = Savings in Shipping + Savings in Storage + Savings in Risk Management Let's put some hypothetical numbers into this formula to illustrate: Savings in Shipping: $500 per shipment Savings in Storage: $100 per month Savings in Risk Management: $150 per month Assuming these savings over a year: Annual Savings = ($500 times 12) + ($100 times 12) + ($150 times 12) Annual Savings = $6,000 + $1,200 + $1,800 Annual Savings = $9,000 By switching to solid chemistry technology, the company could potentially save $9,000 annually. This example illustrates how the cumulative savings in different areas add up to significant cost reductions.   Summary Solid chemistry technology offers significant cost savings by reducing shipping costs, storage space requirements, and risks associated with spills and accidents. By focusing on the total cost of ownership, as Blaine suggests, companies can see the broader financial benefits of transitioning to solid chemistry solutions.   Timestamps 01:00 - Trace Blackmore asks you to share your future podcast show ideas with us by filling out the Submit a Show Idea form 03:15 - Come to The Hang on July 11th, a free online opportunity to connect with other water professionals 10:10 - Upcoming Events for Water Treatment Professionals  12:30 - Get to know Blaine Nagao, CWT 20:00 - Interview on Solid Technology 1:00:00 - Drop by Drop With James McDonald    Quotes “Solid chemistry is good chemistry.” - Blaine Nagao  “Ask too many questions because the devil is in the details to find the right solution for your client.” - Blaine Nagao “With water, you always need to think about Murphy's Law - anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” - Blaine Nagao  “Pick the equipment that works, not the one that looks pretty.

Solid Starts was founded in 2020 to revolutionize the way we feed our babies and toddlers. Their FREE first food database provides nutrition information and preparation information for the foods we eat and how we can make it accessible and safe for babies to eat from the time they start solids. I welcome the founder of Solid Starts, Jenny Best, to talk about Solid Starts and feeding babies and toddlers.

For decades we have been told that babies need to start with pureed foods when they start solids. But what if I told you that these purees might not be the best starting point, and that self-feeding can be the key to developing safe and effective eating habits? In this episode, I sit down with Jenny Best, founder of Solid Starts, a platform dedicated to guiding parents through the introduction of solids to their little ones. With over 3 million followers on Instagram (@solidstarts), she is challenging the old-school notion that babies need a gradual introduction to thicker foods while confronting the fear-based messages from traditional baby food advertising.This episode is packed with insight, history, and empathy. We'll discuss how feeding strategies have evolved from the 1880s to now, and why contemporary wisdom aligns with the developmental readiness of your baby for solids around six to eight months. We'll also debunk common choking myths and encourage you to trust in your baby's natural instincts. So whether you're knee-deep in diapers or just love a good chat about the realities of motherhood, you won't want to miss this.Connect with Jenny:Solid StartsLinks and Resources: Milk storage guideline by the Academy of Breastfeeding MedicineNumNum Baby Spoons affiliate linkFollow @bemybreastfriend on InstagramBemybreastfriend.combemybreastfriend Amazon Storebemybreastfriend YouTubeSponsor: Ceres Chill - 15% off your order with code 'BEMYBREASTFRIEND15'
