How to Drop a Milk Feed
#55: How do you drop a milk feed? The whole point of weaning is that your baby gradually replaces the nutrition he or she was getting from breastmilk and/or formula and replaces that with the foods they’re learning how to eat. But at some point during the weaning process, we have to be proactive about dropping that first milk feed. In this episode I’m covering some ideas for gradually cutting back on your baby’s milk intake as food intake increases. Do you cut the night feed? The morning milk? And how do we set up a feeding schedule such that milk follows food as we approach your baby’s first birthday? Listen in for all you need to know about dropping milk feeds! Listen to this episode to learn: 1. Why your baby’s milk intake at 12 months will look remarkably different in volume and frequency than it did at 6 months 2. How babies learn to recognize and respond to their hunger and fullness cues (...and spoiler alert: it doesn’t happen when they’re full of milk!) 3. Suggested feeding schedule for a 1 year old baby transitioning off of breastmilk/formula and on to cow’s milk with 3 meals, milk after meals and bedtime milk each day.

Tongue Ties & Lip Ties: Do These Affect Baby's Ability to Self-Feed? with Dr. Shaina Holman, DDS, PhD
#52: If your baby has a tongue-tie (or has had one released) you might be wondering: will this affect their ability to start solid foods? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Shaina Holman, DDS, PhD, a dentist with a rare specialty in infant tongue-ties and a research background in infant feeding. She runs a multidisciplinary infant feeding clinic in North Carolina, working alongside lactation consultants, SLPs, and infant massage therapists to take a whole-body, team-based approach to diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Shaina explains what tongue- and lip-ties are, how they can impact both milk feeding and solid feeding, and what to look out for if you’re considering - or have already done - a release. As a mom of three who’s done baby-led weaning with her own kids, she brings both clinical and practical insights to this conversation. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. What tongue ties are and why experts don’t always agree on treatment routes 2. How having a tongue tie does - and does not - impact your baby’s ability to breastfeed, bottle-feed and eat solid foods 3. Why babies who have had tongue tie releases sometimes struggle with solid foods and what to do if this happens to you Shownotes for this episode can be found here: ⁠⁠https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/52 Links from this episode: • Visit Dr. Shaina’s private practice website and her tongue tie clinic • Follow Dr. Shaina on Instagram @holmanfamilydentalcare • Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro program with the 100 First Foods™ Daily Meal Plan, join here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://babyledweaning.co/program⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  • Baby-Led Weaning for Beginners free online workshop with 100 First Foods™ list to all attendees, register here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://babyledweaning.co/baby-led-weaning-for-beginners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Other episodes related to this topic: • Episode 148 - How Cleft Lip & Cleft Palate Babies can Succeed in Self-Feeding with Vikash K.

Oatmeal: How Your Baby Can Safely Self-Feed Oatmeal
#47: Oatmeal is a warm, familiar food, but what’s the best way to introduce oatmeal to your baby? In this episode, I’m breaking down how to safely serve oatmeal so your baby can self-feed from the start. We’re talking about which types of oatmeal to use (and which to skip), how to cook it for the right texture, and why you don’t need to buy baby-specific oatmeal to get enough iron. Plus, I’ll show you how to keep the self-feeding principles of baby-led weaning, even with puree-textured foods like oatmeal. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. Why oatmeal is a more preferable starter cereal for babies over rice cereal 2. How iron levels differ in oatmeal types, and why “baby oatmeal” isn’t necessary 3.

Shellfish: How to Introduce Your Baby to this Potentially Allergenic Food
#41: Shellfish is one of the Big 8 allergenic foods (...the 8 foods that account for about 90% of food allergy) and even though it is one of the more common pediatric food allergies, it’s the one that I find parents are the most hesitant about introducing to their babies. That may be because we are less inclined to be making shrimp and crab and scallops at home than some of the allergenic foods, but it’s still a category of food we should introduce to baby early and often to help prevent shellfish allergy down the road. In this episode we’re looking at a few easy ways to introduce babies to shellfish. You can do pieces of shrimp or some of the more rubbery mollusks, but I prefer to wait until baby has at least 1 tooth and has tried some trickier textured foods out before diving right into the rubbery pieces of shellfish. Making shrimp into shrimp cakes or patties is a really easy way to offer shellfish in a baby-led weaning form that is easy and safe for babies to self-feed. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. Which types of shellfish are considered more vs. less allergenic 2. How to safely prepare 3 types of shellfish (...and rubbery shrimp cocktail is not one of them!) 3. Why your baby is unlikely to react the first time they have shellfish…but pay attention time 2 👀 Shownotes for this episode can be found here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/41 Links from this episode:⁠ • Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro program with the 100 First Foods™ Daily Meal Plan, join here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://babyledweaning.co/program⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  • Baby-Led Weaning for Beginners free online workshop with 100 First Foods™ list to all attendees, register here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://babyledweaning.co/baby-led-weaning-for-beginners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Other episodes related to this topic: • Episode 31 - Fish: How to Introduce Your Baby to This Potentially Allergenic Food • Episode 130 - Why Benadryl is Not the Best Idea when Introducing Allergenic Foods with @raisinggoodparents Phil Boucher, MD 🌱 🌱🌱🌱 🌱 Not sure about which foods to offer your baby next?
