Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro - A podcast by Katie Ferraro

Categories:

#42: Can you do baby-led weaning successfully if your baby goes to daycare? You betcha! And this episode has some REALLY tangible and specific recommendations if you are trying to incorporate childcare + baby-led weaning. In this podcast interview all about BLW + daycare I’m talking with Poppy Duhnke, she’s an in-home daycare owner (and pro-BLW one at that!) ...but also the mom of 10-month old twins, and she’s doing BLW at home too, so she knows exactly what you’re going through. Poppy is sharing some EXCELLENT tips for how to talk to your day-care about BLW, what they need and what you need to excel with BLW plus some ideas on how to broach the topic if your daycare is less-than-enthusiastic about the idea of your self-feeding baby.  Listen to this episode to learn: WHAT kind of language to use with daycare providers when broaching the topic of BLW. Poppy had great suggestions on being respectful, being an ally and educating your caregiver about what YOU know your baby can already do (...because you’ve been practicing BLW at home before you bring your show on the road!) SOME SUGGESTED GEAR that parents can bring to daycare to help minimize the mess. We had a great discussion about how the goal of BLW is not to ELIMINATE the mess - just rather to MINIMIZE it as we allow our babies the opportunity to self-feed.
