How to Balance Your Baby’s BLW Plate

#45: Sure babies should eat a wide variety of foods, flavors, tastes and textures - but what does that actually LOOK like on your baby’s plate?!  In this episode I’m breaking down HOW you can introduce your baby to 1 new food per day while at the same time recycling back the familiar foods from previous days. And I’m sharing how you distribute foods across your baby’s plate, keeping the portions realistic and promoting nutrient balance that will help fuel your baby’s growing body. Listen to this episode to learn: How to partition a 20-minute meal into two 10-minute sections: the first we spend introducing the baby to the new food of the day and the 2nd is a way to reintroduce that same new food + 2 familiar foods from previous days How to divide the foods up (no more than 3 foods tops!) over your baby’s plate so that you’re achieving balance between the smaller protein and fruit OR vegetable serving + reserving more space for the starchy or carbohydrate food, which is the food that fuels your baby’s body!
