#12: You do not need to wait 3-5 days between offering new foods to your baby. In fact, waiting that long can actually slow down your baby’s progress and prevent diet diversity. In this episode we look at the research that supports quicker introduction of new foods; it is safe to offer 1 (or more) new food(s) per day and this approach can help reduce the risk of severe picky eating and help your baby learn to safely eat and like real food.

Listen to this episode to learn:

1. Why waiting 3-5 days between new foods can slow down your baby’s progress

2. How to safely offer 1 (or more) new food(s) per day…and why this is safe

3. When to sequence the introduction of allergenic foods to observe for reactions
