A short transcript excerpt from a June 25, 2025 conversation (Episode 325) hosted by Hallie Bulkin about baby-led feeding/weaning. Speakers discuss safety of giving babies foods like purees and solid forms, emphasizing a philosophy where the baby 'leads the way' and foods are matched to developmental age.
I know. In the whole baby led weaning movement, too, we get questions from parents all the time, like, is it safe to give children foods in this form?
Yes. So definitely it is safe. And our whole philosophy is baby leads the way. We are introducing solid foods to baby, but also purees. So we really believe that adult diet. If you look at an adult diet, we're eating purees. We're eating. I ate yogurt for breakfast. Right. So babies can eat that from the beginning. But it's all about baby leading the way, feeding themselves. So we call it baby led feed feeding. It's very similar baby led weaning, but really primarily solid foods. And it's all about serving foods that match the baby's developmental age.
