Is it Too Late to Start Baby-Led Weaning?

#57: Am I too late to switch to baby-led weaning? What if I started spoon-feeding my baby but now I want to switch? How old is too old for a baby to learn how to self-feed?

If any of these questions have ever crossed your mind, this episode has all the answers!

We’re taking a look at what you do if you “missed” that 6-month mark for starting solids with baby-led weaning. Maybe you did traditional spoon-feeding and now your baby expects to be fed. Or what if you have an older baby and you’re just now feeling ready to transition off of purees?

Don’t distress: it is NOT too late for your baby to learn how to self-feed. I’ve got a few proven feeding tricks and tips that will help you fast-track your baby to self-feeding success...even if you *think* you’re getting a late start (you’re NOT! :)

Listen to this episode to learn:

1. When’s the ideal time to start with baby-led weaning (...and what to do if you “missed” that 6-month mark and now want to start BLW?)
2. How older babies CAN learn to self-feed (...but it involves YOU needing to stop feeding them :)
3. The “flavor window” concept, explaining how your baby will learn to like and accept a huge variety of foods and flavors up to a certain age (and it’s later than you think!)
