Episode notes
Combined Weaning
- Combine spoon-feeding and baby-led weaning for best results.
- This ensures babies get the nutrition they need while exploring different textures.
Handling Food Refusal
- Stay calm if your baby refuses food; remove pressure by leaving the table.
- Reheat and offer the food later, or try playing to work up an appetite.
Multiple Exposures
- Babies may reject new foods due to unfamiliar flavors or textures.
- Repeated exposure is key; try incorporating rejected foods into other dishes.
