#23: Ever wonder if feeding your baby fruit is going to give your baby a sweet tooth? Does offering fruit before vegetables cause babies to crave sweet foods?   Fruit is an important food group for your baby to tackle...but too much of a good thing is not a good thing! In this episode we explore why fruit is your friend (...albeit in moderation), why your baby does not need juice and tips on how to serve baby-led weaning fruits safely to your baby.    I also share why the “banana lipstick” (...offering your baby half of a banana with skin still on the lower quarter of it) is NOT my favorite baby-led weaning trend with tips on a safer (cleaner) way to offer your baby this easy to feed fruit.     If you’re ready to raise an independent eater and prevent picky eating then let’s get started learning about baby-led weaning together!
