In episode 13 of ‘Eat Your Greens with Dr. Black’, I delve into the process of introducing solid foods to babies. The conversation covers a wide range of topics including spotting signs of readiness for solid foods, the best feeding strategies, the recommended order of introducing foods, and the potential to reduce future allergies. The episode tackles the debate between spoon-feeding and baby led weaning, potential choking hazards, and the necessity for a varied diet. Special highlights of the episode include insights into the influence of mothers’ diet on a baby’s preferences and the unexpected dangers of certain foods like honey for babies under a year old. In addition, Dr. Black shares some personal stories and experiences to illustrate the points being discussed.
