#65: Social media can be an amazing tool for learning about baby-led weaning…but it can also spread a lot of misinformation. In this episode, I’m joined by five of my expert friends to break down the top five things social media gets wrong about baby-led weaning. From fear-based feeding advice to myths about choking and readiness to start solid foods, we’re setting the record straight with evidence-based insights from professionals who actually know what they’re talking about. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. What bugs Gill Rapley - the lady who pioneered this approach - the most about baby-led weaning on social media 2. Why short-form content often misrepresents what baby-led weaning is really about…but how to harness its powers for good when you’re starting solid food 3. How to spot credible baby-led weaning advice online (...it’s out there!) but tune out the fear-based noise in the meantime Shownotes for this episode can be found here: https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/65 Links from this episode: • Follow Aileen Cox Blundell on Instagram @babyledfeeding and her website Baby-Led Feeding • Follow Jessica Coll on Instagram @healthlyinstitute and her website International Baby-Led Weaning Network • Follow Dawn Winkelmann on Instagram @mwdawnslp and her website MsDawnSLP.com • Follow Marsha Dunn Klein on Instagram @getpermissioninstitute and her website the Get Permission Institute • Read Gill Rapley’s original Baby-Led Weaning book, available on Amazon here • 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 40 - 6 Reasons to Skip the Sippy Cup with Dawn Winkelmann, MS, CCC-SLP • Episode 134 - Sauces, Dippers & Toppers for Making BLW Foods Safe with @babyledfeeding Aileen Cox Blundell • Episode 241 - How did Baby-Led Weaning Get its Name? with Gill Rapley, PhD • Episode 320 - Supporting Your Baby: Empathy, Readiness and Connection with Marsha Dunn Klein, OTR/L, MEd 🌱 🌱🌱🌱 🌱 Not sure about which foods to offer your baby next?
