BLW at Daycare: How These Parents Made it Work

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

What if my baby goes to daycare but I want to do baby-led weaning? Maybe daycare has never HEARD of BLW…or they’ve never seen it done properly. Does that mean your baby doesn’t get the chance to self-feed from their first bites? No! In this episode we’re hearing from other parents who have done baby-led weaning successfully at daycare - and lived to talk about it! They’re sharing their best tips for BLW success in this daycare episode.

SUMMARY OF EPISODE

In this episode we’re talking about:

• Why daycare providers say they “don’t do baby-led weaning”...and how you can respectfully change their mind

• What to say when you don’t know how to broach the topic that your baby is going to self-feed, even at daycare

• How to set up that initial demonstration meeting with daycare providers that will blow their minds and make them instant BLW fans
