Description

Hear all about the MOTR approach to baby-led weaning. In this episode, we share our takes on: what we think of baby-led weaninghow it’s different from simply “starting solids” overcoming obstacles mothers face when considering solids (fear of choking, allergens, breastfeeding relationships, etc). why we don’t care about added sodium for infants and what that evidence actually says (hint: it’s inconclusive)how we feel about purée pouches and stereotypical “baby food”why your pediatrician is not the expert on baby-led weaningsigns of readiness and why anything under 6 months old is too young to start solidsStay tuned for part 2 for an even deeper dive on meals we offer our children, BLW hacks, staying the course during travel and dining out, and so much more.Resources:Lily Nichol's article debunking the infant sodium intake mythEpisode #84 of Unapologetically Unmedicated: Buy for Baby, Bye for Mommy with Andrea HaskinsKatie Ferraro's Baby Led Weaning Made Easy Program (not affiliates, but we loved this program nonetheless)DONATE (Thank you!! <3)BOOK a 1:1 or BIRTH PROCESSING SESSIONDOWNLOAD OUR EBOOKSVIEW OUR RESOURCESDISCOUNT CODES & LINKSLeaving us a rating and written review is one of the best ways to show your support.

Tired of outdated and conventional motherhood advice? Are you anti- (insert "Big" + industry name) exploiting the mother-baby dyad for financial gain? Do you prefer to think critically about practices and philosophies across the pregnancy to motherhood spectrum? If you said "yes" to any of the above questions, then you're going to fit right in. Don't worry— this is not another "mainstream mama" podcast.Whether you are a soon-to-be mom or a seasoned mom who has "seen it all," April and Kat promise to never shy away from topics that are far too controversial to discuss at the local playground with the "normie" moms or with your child's pediatrician. These topics should not be controversial at all, but sadly in our highly-censored society, almost anything can be interpreted as such.We're so glad you discovered us! Join us every other Friday as we step outside of our comfort zones, say what many of you are thinking but too afraid to admit out loud, and examine mainstream mom narratives through a funny and honest lens. We may just even change your mind about deeply held beliefs if you're open to it!
