#65: Social media can be an amazing tool for learning about baby-led weaning…but it can also spread a lot of misinformation. In this episode, I’m joined by five of my expert friends to break down the top five things social media gets wrong about baby-led weaning. From fear-based feeding advice to myths about choking and readiness to start solid foods, we’re setting the record straight with evidence-based insights from professionals who actually know what they’re talking about.

Listen to this episode to learn:

1. What bugs Gill Rapley - the lady who pioneered this approach - the most about baby-led weaning on social media

2. Why short-form content often misrepresents what baby-led weaning is really about…but how to harness its powers for good when you’re starting solid food

3. How to spot credible baby-led weaning advice online (...it’s out there!) but tune out the fear-based noise in the meantime
