Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro Is Baby-Led Weaning Safe? A Deep Dive into Current Research
#473: Is baby-led weaning safe? Does it work? Is there research to support skipping spoon-feeding? In this episode we’ll do a deep dive into the current research behind baby-led weaning and starting solid foods.
Listen to this episode to learn:
- Why baby-led weaning does not lead to increased risk of choking compared to adult-led spoon feeding…but what parents need to know in order to reduce choking risk
- How baby-led weaning prevents nutrients gaps and why your baby will not suffer from iron deficiency if you teach them to eat these foods from their first bites
- Which foods help prevent growth faltering and promote independent eating so you don’t have to force-feed your baby purees from a spoon
