Another day, another slay (starting solids edition

1/30 Edited to

... Read moreStarting solids with your baby can be both exciting and a bit overwhelming, but embracing baby-led weaning has made the process so rewarding for me. It encourages your little one to explore real textures and flavors at their own pace, fostering independence and healthy eating habits from the start. One thing I’ve found invaluable is preparing simple, wholesome baby food recipes using fresh ingredients. It’s amazing how much variety you can introduce right from the beginning, keeping meals both nutritious and interesting. Just like waking up feeling rich in life, I believe starting solids is a perfect opportunity to nurture your baby's love for food and self-feeding skills. Throughout postpartum, balancing this new phase can be challenging, so leaning on community support — like connecting with other new moms sharing their experiences — has been a game changer. Remember, every baby's journey is unique, so celebrate each little milestone in starting solids as a big win!

Our family is trying to shift to less snacks or healthy snacks & eating meals together at the dinner table. Our toddler eats much better we’ve found if we sit down & eat with her. This equals more family time too so a big plus! Link in our bio if you want one! Discount code for 15% off V9SP6YAK

Starting Solids
Starting solids with baby can be intimidating. But whichever method you choose, it’s what will be best for baby. We do a combination of BLW and purées. And keeping sample spoons in her diaper bag has been game changer when we go out to eat. She loves to try what we eat and it can be hard sometimes

Are you doing BLW or purées when starting solids?
Starting solids is such a fun time but it can be stressful and scary. Are you jumping right into BLW or starting with purées? Personally, I did a mix of both! I liked offering new textures and shapes while also offering purées for comfort. Let me know what you’re doing in the comments! #lemon8part

A smiling woman with long dark hair holds up her right hand, showing five fingers. White text overlay reads "5 words in sign language to teach your baby." The Lemon8 logo and username are in the bottom left corner.

A cartoon illustration demonstrates the sign for "EAT." A person brings their fingers and thumb together to their mouth, indicating the act of eating.
ASL signs to teach your baby!
I personally start teaching sign language at 6 months old. Teaching babies sign helps them learn how to communicate from an early age which in turn limits the tantrums and frustration. When they are able to effectively tell you what they need, things go a lot smoother. Consistency is key! Use these
