For many first time vegan parents, starting solids is both an exciting and overwhelming time. Many feel excited to start Baby Led Weaning on their vegan journey and others feel concerned about chocking, what first foods to offer, what equipment is needed like the best high chair, and what nutrients does a vegan baby need in this stage of growth. These are all concerns I had too when my daughter was about to start her vegan Baby Led Weaning journey!
In this episode, I am sharing with you the 5 things you need to successfully start solids—whether starting with puree or Baby Led Weaning—so that you feel confident throughout your journey.
Here’s what we cover:
