#22: Are you the only one who believes in baby-led weaning? What if someone else feeds your baby and doesn’t want to do baby-led weaning? In this episode I share 2 mom’s stories of how they are dealing with getting grandmothers on board with baby-led weaning.

There’s no script to follow to get your tribe on board with BLW. Every situation is different...yet, you can use these real-life moms’ stories and examples and tailor them to your own situation with your own mother, mother-in-law, spouse or partner. I’ll teach why there is no perfect response that fits each family, but for sure a few mindset tweaks can help keep everyone focused on the goal at hand: raising an independent eater!

Listen to this episode to learn:

1. How to deal with people in your inner circle who aren't entirely on board with baby-led weaning (yet 😜): grandparents, spouses and partners

2. Why it's important to get comfortable feeding your baby FIRST before you invite someone else into your feeding environment

3. Tips for staying focused on your goal: raising an independent eater...and not getting distracted by the mess or even how much your baby is (or isn't) eating
