5.10: Starting Solids & Baby-Led Weaning — Purees, Gagging & What Nobody Tells You

Everyone talks about starting solids for babies, but nobody warns you how overwhelming it feels when your baby is actually in the high chair. Purees or baby-led weaning? Choking vs. gagging? Why does every meal feel like a Google spiral of panic?

This week we’re breaking down the messy, nerve-wracking, and sometimes hilarious reality of feeding babies—the good, the bad, and the sticky.

We cover:

  • When to start solids and the “before the first bite” anxiety spiral (aka “what the hell do I feed them first?”)

  • Baby-led weaning vs. purees — benefits, struggles, and why BLW really means “let your baby destroy your dining room”

  • What’s actually normal (spoiler: baby gagging, mess, and food play are all part of learning)

  • Mom confessions: dirt > broccoli, crying over peanut butter, and crime-scene first food photos

  • Practical tips: high chair gear, easy first foods for babies, and allergen tips that make life easier

  • Big-picture reassurance: breast milk/formula is still the main nutrition under 1—and you don’t need three meals a day right away

If you’re about to start solids, knee-deep in it, or crying over the splat mat on your floor… this one’s for you.

🎧 Listen in and laugh/cry with us, because feeding your baby shouldn’t feel like an exam.
