#16: What are the best starter foods for baby-led weaning? Babies can eat some - but not all - foods early on. In this episode I walk you through 10 simple starter foods for baby-led weaning.   These are foods your baby can safely self-feed and they include a variety of textures, tastes, food groups and even meat and 2 allergenic foods. This is not an exhaustive list, but you can do these 10 foods during the first 2 weeks of baby led weaning.   Research shows that babies who are exposed to the greatest variety of foods, flavors, tastes and textures - early and often - those are the babies who are MORE likely to become independent eaters and LESS likely to be picky eaters. You can download a list of the 10 foods from this episode with additional notes on how to safely feed these foods to your baby from the show notes for this episode.   If you’re ready to raise an independent eater and prevent picky eating then let’s get started learning about baby-led weaning together!
