This is the eighth and final installment in my Introduction
to Solids series. I am journaling about
our experience with baby feeding since we have the unique opportunity to share
this with our students and readers as we start the process of weaning our
youngest child. This is not medical
advice, nor is it a schedule to be followed.
It is simply our choice for our baby and the first time we have done
what is gaining popularity as “baby-led weaning”. Click on these links forWeek 1 |

First of all, let me start by saying this is completely
anecdotal and a log of what we are doing with our family. I thought I would take the opportunity to
write about it since I have the unique opportunity to share what is
going on with us as we introduce Angelika to solid food. This is not medical advice,
or a suggestion to follow to the letter.
Each family has to do what is right for them. Your instincts and your care team are the best guide for your child.
