Starting solids is such an exciting milestone… but let’s be honest - it can also feel overwhelming!

Before your baby takes those first bites, there are a few things you’ll want to understand, like the signs of readiness, meal & milk schedules, choking hazards, allergens, purées vs BLW… it’s A LOT. Starting solids requires planning. You shouldn’t just “wing it”. A simple plan helps you feel calm and confident - and that confidence shows up at the table.

If you’re getting close to 6 months or already in the thick of it, save this post. And feel free to share with any parents you know who are starting solids soon!

Breakfast can be one of the best opportunities to introduce your baby to new foods and textures! Their appetite is often at its best in the morning, making it the perfect time to build confidence with solids and explore variety early on.

That said - if you’ve found yourself stuck serving the same breakfast on repeat, you’re definitely not alone. It’s so easy to fall into a breakfast routine that feels safe, especially when mornings are rushed or your baby is still getting the hang of eating. But variety matters, especially during the critical period of 6-9 months!

Need some new breakfast inspiration? We’ve got you covered with simple, baby-friendly ideas that go beyond the usual, and take the stress out of figuring out what to serve each morning 👌

30 Days of Starting Solids with Baby Aila: Day 30

30 days went by so quickly!! It was the best experience getting to be such a big part of my niece’s solids journey! I hope you learned a lot…But it’s not over! Lots of updates on how Aila’s eating is in toddlerhood coming your way ;)

Biggest lesson here? Teach your baby the skills for HOW to eat and enjoy mealtimes and all foods (instead of quantity of food eaten, worrying about mess, or getting it right). These first 30-90 days of solids is your time to INVEST in building a love for all foods without tricks, tactics, or keeping them on the same simple foods and textures.

🌟 If you’re ready to learn how to confidently feed your baby with purées or finger foods and safely serve all foods, join our Baby Led Feeding program! The program is expert-led, completely comprehensive and shows how to set up mealtimes, progress in textures, serve all types of food, manage gagging, prevent choking, introduce allergens, and so much more! And you can easily access all of your content in our app 📲

Out and about with your baby? ✈️🚗🛒

Whether you’re running errands, heading out for a road trip, or traveling with a baby, feeding your little one on the go doesn’t have to mean defaulting to packaged snacks every time.

Yes - baby food pouches can absolutely have a place. But packing whole foods helps your baby keep practicing important feeding skills, exploring textures, and learning how to love real foods… even when life feels busy.

So, here are some easy and portable foods you can pack as a snack or combine to make meals, no matter where you’re headed!

➡️ Comment “BLW” and we’ll send you our full guide to feeding babies on the go, including what to pack for baby travel meals!

30 Days of Starting Solids with Baby Aila: Day 27

Today, Aila had liver for the first time! Liver is packed with easily absorbed (heme) iron, vitamin A, zinc, B vitamins, choline, and more - all of which support brain development, iron stores, and your baby’s overall immune function and energy levels!

Liver is SO nutritious, that we want to be careful of avoiding a Vitamin A overload. This can happen very easily, so the solution is to limit liver pâté to 1 tbsp, 2 times per week.

➡️ Age: 7 months and 1 week
➡️ Time of meal: 11:00 am (30 min after bottle)
➡️ Amount consumed: 1 tbsp liver, 1 tbsp goat cheese, 3 rice rusks, 4 carrots
➡️ Length of meal: 35 minutes

👉 Comment “𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡” below to get our best-selling 60-day Baby-led feeding meal plan + first foods checklist, so you have everything you need to start solids with confidence!
