She discusses transitioning to greater intake from food as breastfeeding sessions decrease in number and frequency. We talk about individualizing your breastfeeding + BLW goals and she shares tips for breastfeeding and chestfeeding parents who want to continue past baby’s first birthday.   If you’re ready to raise an independent eater and prevent picky eating then let’s get started learning about baby-led weaning together!
