SUMMARY of episode

In this episode, we’re talking about high chair safety and how to position baby safely in a high chair to help maximize self-feeding success and to minimize choking risk. Jeff from Nomi high chair is talking about:

• Why most high chairs do not come with an adjustable footplate (the Nomi does) and how this feature helps reduce baby’s choking risk

• How using a feeding chair that grows with your baby from first bites through adolescence can support your baby and older child’s development and success at mealtimes

In this episode, I mentioned that if you are researching the Nomi and would like to purchase it at a discounted rate, I have a special offer for BABY-LED WEANING MADE EASY podcast listeners.

ABOUT THE GUEST

My guest for this episode is Jeff Durkee. Jeff is the director of sales for Regal Lager and they are the North American distributor of the Nomi high chair. The Nomi high chair is my favorite high chair for baby-led weaning because of its exceptional design and attention to safety. It’s amazing how many high chairs out there are not only ugly, let’s be real, but are lacking the number one feature that can help reduce baby’s choking risk...and Jeff is going to be talking about that today on behalf of Nomi.

Nomi was designed by the celebrated Scandinavian seating designer Peter Opsvik. We have talked about the Nomi high chair on a previous episode number 92 when Kirsti Vandraas an ergonomist who works with the designer Peter Opsvik joined us in an episode called “How to Choose a Safe Seat for Your Baby to Eat”. That’s at blwpodcast.com/92 if you want to give it a listen
