This week on the podcast, we’re diving spoon-first into one of the biggest milestones of babyhood… starting solids!

In Starting Solids: Baby-led, Puree-led or Panic-Led?, we chat honestly about our own experiences introducing food to our babies, the pressure parents often feel around feeding, and why we personally leaned towards baby-led weaning. From first tastes and gagging fears to messy mealtimes and navigating all the advice online, this episode is here to help you feel more confident and less overwhelmed.

We also unpack some of the current starting solids guidelines, talk about developmental readiness signs, oral development, and how to make mealtimes feel more relaxed and enjoyable for the whole family.

And of course, we finish with our signature Five to Thrive — simple, practical tips to help make your solids journey smoother, calmer and a little more fun.

Whether you’re about to start solids, currently in the thick of flying avocado and floor spaghetti, or just curious about baby-led weaning, this episode is packed with supportive, real-life parenting chat and easy-to-understand guidance.
