Starting solids is good, messy, healthy fun! The science and art of starting solids through baby led weaning is very compelling. When babies are allowed to feed themselves they are much better able to self regulate and explore foods in a safe manner. The very first food, breastmilk, teaches a baby about the flavors of foods the family eats. Did you know that cultures that eat spicy foods have mothers with spicy tasting breastmilk? So why not introduce your child directly to the culture of food that exists in your own family?
When babies are not forced to eat, they honor their own satiety and have less risk of over-eating later in life. By introducing whole and healthy foods to your child, skipping purees, you begin to lay a foundation for a lifelong positive relationship to food! By playing with foods, babies can explore texture, volume and distance. Join us in exploring this ancient introduction to first foods.
