If you’re curious about “baby led weaning” and think you might like to skip those jars of store-bought puree, you’re definitely going to want to listen to this episode. We talk with Patrick Lehman, MD, a pediatrician at the Children’s Wisconsin Bluemound Pediatrics primary care office, to find out more about this newer method of introducing solids, which involves feeding your baby age-appropriate pieces of the same foods your family is eating. Dr. Lehman covers safety issues, which foods to try first, and the benefits and drawbacks of baby-led weaning in this episode of Healthy Baby, Happy Parent.
