To celebrate Christmas and the ending of another year at My Little Eater, I wanted to air the most popular episode EVER from the podcast. So, here’s a recap of all of my expert tips on how to figure out how much to feed your baby after starting solids and how to implement a feeding schedule for your baby. Hands down, this is still the most common topic I get questions on! WHEN do I feed my baby? HOW OFTEN do I feed my baby? And WHAT about milk feedings… where do they fit in? So this episode will be golden for you if you’ve ever been confused about how many meals to offer your baby through the first year, when to fit nursing, or bottles in with solid foods, and squeezing in those all important naps!
I’m also sharing my sample feeding schedules for every age range from 6-12 months, complete with solid meals, milk feeds, and naps, so you can have an actionable approach to solids and be all set to enjoy this journey with your little one!
As always, if you get value from this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts! You know I’m forever grateful for everyone’s support and THANK YOU all for making it another amazing year on The My Little Eater Podcast!
