034: Creating An Adventurous Eater Right From The Start with Nikole Goncalves

It was such a pleasure having Nikole Goncalves back on the show to talk about raising a healthy little eater from the start. We get into how she introduced her daughter Sage to solid foods and how her journey has evolved since. The foods she has been exposed to, the benefits of making your own baby food, purees vs. baby-led weaning, what utensils to use, introducing allergenic foods, preventing picky eating, and so much more.
