NWP Episode 196: What is Baby Led Weaning (Self Feeding) with Megan McNamee RD/N of Feeding Littles
Have you heard about baby led weaning, also called baby self feeding? If you are a momma, momma to be, or you just love learning about pediatric nutrition- this episode is for you!
I am SO excited about today’s podcast guest, Megan McNamee RD/N of Feeding Littles. I personally purchased the online course on baby led weaning when my daughter was 6 months old, and I found it so supportive in helping me feel confident about this traditional way of feeding my little one.
