LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

How much food should a 1-year-old baby eat? Much of baby-led weaning is “practicing” for where we want baby to be when he or she turns 12 months, but what feeding milestones and accomplishments do we want to achieve by the time baby turns 1? In this episode we’re exploring sample BLW feeding schedules for babies at 12 months of age.

In this episode we’re talking about:

• What feeding milestones we want baby to have accomplished by 12 months of age…and what to do if you’re not quite there yet

• Why snacks and too much milk are the primary saboteurs of the toddler diet…and what you can do to combat them!
