In this episode, I am giving you a list of the top 8 foods that I recommend to any parent who is beginning the journey into solid foods with their baby. Because you know I love to give you all the details, I’ll be sharing my tips on how to ensure these starter foods are nutrient dense, served safely, and I even offer ideas on how to serve them both as purees and finger foods. I keep it real on this podcast, so I’ve got a truth-bomb or two for you along the way. I’ll also be sharing my expert knowledge on how to ensure your baby is getting enough iron, and what to do about those, somewhat intimidating, top allergen foods.
Whether you are a new mama (or papa!) waiting to begin their feeding journey with their little one, you’ve just started the process, or are a few days/weeks/months in and need some ideas – this podcast has info to benefit all of you! You can also check out my blog post on this topic to take a look at some visuals of the foods I suggest.
