100 First Foods Graduates

#67: So what’s the big deal about a baby eating 100 foods? Well the research shows us that babies who are exposed to the greatest number of foods, flavors, tastes & textures are MORE likely to be independent eaters and LESS likely to be picky eaters! In 2016 I created the 100 FIRST FOODS approach to starting solid foods with baby-led weaning. I did the 100 FIRST FOODS approach with my baby quadruplets, creating a 5-step feeding framework that helps you introduce 5 new foods per week, 20 foods per month and 100 foods in the first 5 months of your baby eating solid foods. Listen to this episode to learn: Kayla Sherwood - Mom of BG twins William & Adelaide who finished their 100 First Foods at 11.5 months & mom is on IG @kasherwood22 Erin Callaway - Erin is the mom of Sunny who did her 100 First Foods with us and baby brother Rowan is JUST STARTING and will be tackling the same challenge this time too. Family lives in Greece and follow on IG @thecallawayseat Renee Cameron - Renee’s son Elijah did his 100 FIRST FOODS after mom had a stressful pregnancy, stressful transition to solids but she loved and thrived on the structure of this program.  Lauren McClure - Lauren’s daughter Kiera is now 13 months but at 4 months had a surgery for a congenital condition. She found so much support in the 100 FIRST FOODS group and Kiera hit all of her feeding milestones thanks to this program! Mariale Oltra - Mariale is mom to Isabell and had a BLAST helping her try 100 new foods. Mariale was SO helpful to the other parents in our group, always sharing her experiences and how they can help. She’s on IG @marialeoltra. Kelly Anne Tay - Kelly is a mom based in Singapore who I *think* knows every other mom in Singapore…she has SPREAD the 100 FIRST FOODS movement among her peers and her daughter Kate crushed over 100 foods before her first birthday. She’s so glad she doesn’t need to chase Kate around playdates with a spoon trying to force her to eat and Kelly is on IG @paperexploits Gina Giacamoni - Gina has her hands full: 3 kids under 3 and baby 2 did 100 FIRST FOODS and baby 3 is just getting started. We LOVED watching Darby Kate succeed with BLW in the 100 FIRST FOODS program and now her little sis Saleh Jo is just getting started with the same approach. Gina is a NICU nurse / working mama and she’s on IG @ginamarie0908 Shownotes for this episode can be found here: https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/67 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 🌱 🌱🌱🌱 🌱 Not sure about which foods to offer your baby next?
