| 5/14/26 |  Ditching Diet Culture: Fostering Your Baby’s Healthy Food Relationship with Vanessa Rissetto, MS, RD | #112: If you’ve ever thought, I do not want my baby to grow up with all of the messed up food stuff I grew up with, this episode is for you. In this conversation, registered dietitian Vanessa Rissetto joins me to talk about diet culture, the pressure parents feel around feeding, and how to start fostering a healthier relationship with food for your baby from the very beginning. Vanessa breaks down what diet culture actually looks like in real life, how our own food beliefs can shape the way we feed our kids, and why less pressure around eating often leads to better outcomes over time. We also talk about food language, feeding dynamics at home, and simple ways to help your child feel more comfortable and confident around food. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. How to lay off the pressure around kids eating...and practical tips for being less food focussed around children 2. Which words to use when discussing food with your babies and children to help them have positive associations with food instead of food-related phobias 3.

| 3/12/26 |  The History of Baby-Led Weaning with its Founding Philosopher Gill Rapley, PhD (Part 1) | #100: Gill Rapley, PhD helped give baby-led weaning its name, and more importantly, its philosophy: feeding led by your baby, not done to your baby. In Part 1 of our interview, Gill shares how baby-led weaning took shape, why waiting until babies are truly ready matters, and what she says to the skeptics who still doubt a baby’s ability to self-feed. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. How Gill’s work as a UK health visitor led her to a simple insight: many babies aren’t refusing food, they’re resisting being fed 2. Why baby-led weaning challenged the “normal” approach to starting solid foods, and what Gill says to the skeptics 3. How she and Tracey Murkett turned parent questions and real-life feeding observations into Baby-Led Weaning: The Essential Guide This interview is part of a 2-part series with Gill Rapley, PhD. In this episode (100) we cover the history of baby-led weaning with its founding philosopher. In the next interview with Gill (102) we will talk about her ideas for the future of BLW and where she sees the movement going and what she would like to see more of (and less of) when it comes to promoting self-feeding from baby’s first bites. Shownotes for this episode can be found here: https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/100 Links from This Episode: • Gill Rapley’s book “Baby-Led Weaning: Completely Updated and Expanded Tenth Anniversary” edition available on Amazon here (this is an affiliate link). • Her website is rapleyweaning.com. • She spoke at length about the importance of Amy Brown’s research on baby-led weaning.

| 2/18/26 |  Reintroducing Familiar Foods Back on Your Baby's Plate | #93 If you offered a new food once and your baby wasn’t into it, that doesn’t mean it’s a “no”...it just means it needs to come back around in your rotation. In this mini training episode, I’ll show you a simple, realistic system for reintroducing familiar foods while you keep moving forward with one new food a day, including my easy plate formula and rotation routine. You’ll leave with a concrete action step you can use at your very next meal to build diet diversity into your feeding plan without overthinking it. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. How to keep moving forward with one new food a day while still reintroducing familiar foods so they actually stick 2. Why “one-and-done” food exposures don’t build diet diversity…and what to do instead (even if your baby spits the first food out!) 3. What a simple, not-overwhelming plate and rotation routine looks like for your baby at different ages (6–7, 8–9, and 10+ months) Shownotes for this episode can be found here: https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/93 Links from This Episode: • Get 15% off all ezpz feeding gear with the code BABYLED when you shop here • My favorite ezpz bowl for introducing new finger foods is the ezpz Mini Bowl • My favorite ezpz mat for offering 3 different foods at a time is the ezpz Mini Mat • Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro program with the 100 First Foods™ Daily Meal Plan, join here: https://babyledweaning.co/program and save $50 when you sign up using the code BLWPOD50 • Baby-Led Weaning for Beginners free online workshop with 100 First Foods™ list to all attendees, register here: https://babyledweaning.co/baby-led-weaning-for-beginners Other Episodes Related to This Topic: • Episode 45 - How to Balance Your Baby’s BLW Plate is here 🌱 🌱🌱🌱 🌱 Not sure about which foods to offer your baby next?

| 2/12/26 |  How to Choose a Safe Seat for Your Baby to Eat with Kirsti Vandraas | #92: Ever wonder why some high chairs seem to “work” for starting solid foods while others leave your baby slumped, feet dangling, and frustrated? In this episode, I’m joined by physiotherapist and ergonomist Kirsti Vandraas to break down what a safe, supportive baby seat should actually do. We cover the key features that matter most for independent eating—like a stable base, an adjustable footrest, and a setup that lets your baby move their arms freely. Kirsti also explains why high chair designs and safety standards can vary between countries, and what parents can do to create a safer, more comfortable eating setup at home. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. Why high chair expectations differ in the U.S. vs. Europe, and how that shapes designs that bring your baby right up to the table for family meals (often without a tray). 2. How straps and restrictive setups can get in the way of functional movement at meals—and when kids are developmentally ready for more freedom in their seat. 3. Why a truly adjustable footrest matters for stability and torso control, supporting an upright “ready-to-eat” posture from your baby’s first bites.

| 2/9/26 |  Pantry Planning for Baby-Led Weaning | #91: Starting solid foods doesn’t mean buying special baby food, or adding weird ingredients to your shopping list.

| 2/5/26 |  A Big Sister’s Perspective on Picky Eating with Molly Ferraro | #90: If you’re starting solid foods with your baby and feeding an older child who’s more selective, this episode is for you. In this throwback conversation, I’m joined by my oldest daughter Molly, who was six years old at the time of this recording (and is now eleven). As the big sister to six younger siblings who learned to eat using baby-led weaning, Molly had a front-row seat to what it looks like when babies are allowed to feed themselves, while older kids are still figuring out their own relationship with food. We talk about why baby-led weaning doesn’t promise to prevent picky eating (but can help make it less intense) and share practical ways to involve older siblings in the kitchen and at the table when your baby is learning how to eat. This episode is especially helpful if you’re worried about “messing it up again” with your baby or wondering how to manage different eating stages under the same roof. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. Why baby-led weaning doesn’t prevent picky eating—but can make it less intense and easier to manage 2. How to involve older siblings in the kitchen and at the table when your baby is starting solid foods 3. Practical ways to support a more selective eater without pressure while your baby learns to self-feed Shownotes for this episode can be found here: https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/90 Links from This Episode: • Little Partners Learning Tower - we have 2 of these that you pull up to the counter so your toddlers and bigger kids can safely help you cook.
