Have you been thinking about trying baby-led feeding but have NO CLUE where to start?
Or perhaps you’re not even 100% sure what baby-led feeding even is, but you’ve heard about it from other moms and you’re curious to learn more.
Maybe you’re wondering…
How do I get started?
What should I even feed my baby?
How do I know if my baby is getting the right nutrients?
Sound familiar?
I know because this was totally me.
When it was time to start introducing solids to our baby, I knew that Baby-Led Feeding (also commonly known as Baby-Led Weaning) was a method that I wanted to try because of all of the positive things that I had heard and read from books, webinars and fellow moms.
BUT the truth is, I had A LOT of questions and concerns about using this non-traditional feeding method and didn’t feel 100% confident getting started.
NONE of my friends and family members had used the baby-led feeding method when introducing solids to their babies. In fact, they looked at me like I was absolutely crazy when I told them that I wanted to give my baby whole foods right from the start of our feeding adventure.
Their response certainly didn’t boost my confidence.
In order to gain some further guidance, I purchased several of the popular Baby-Led Weaning books out there.
While they provided a few ideas for recipes and some basics for getting started with a lot of other fluff, none of them addressed my biggest questions, including:
- What is a specific list of good starter foods to offer my baby?
- What does a balanced meal look like for my baby?
- How many meals a day should my baby be eating based on his or her age?
- What should I do if my baby doesn’t want to eat his vegetables?
- What should I do if my baby throws all of his food on the floor?
I had A LOT of questions, and despite doing quite a bit of research, it was virtually impossible to come by a source that had the answers to ALL of my questions.
That’s when I decided that if I had these questions as a Registered Dietitian, then most likely, other parents getting started would have similar questions too.

What readers have to say…
I just got done reading ‘Healthy Baby Foodie’ and I wanted to start by saying thank you! I have been so stressed lately worrying about what to feed my 11 month old. I feel like I always feed the same stuff and while I know what is healthy I think my brain just couldn’t think of anymore combinations or ways to use food. This book is beautifully composed, easy to read and has actual examples and recipes that inspired me to do better in the kitchen for my little guy. I also enjoyed how this book shows you how to put together meal ideas rather than just giving a recipe. It was nice to see how you would pair things up to make a complete meal.
