An 11 month old healthy boy prefers to have purees instead of Baby-Led-Weaning finger foods, is this okay? 

Welcome to a new series on the Ask Doctor Amy Podcast:  "You Asked" - Live Q&A from parents just like you! In this inaugural episode, we talk to Julia, a concerned mom who is trying to implement Baby-Led Weaning, only to find her 11 month old preferring purees instead. 

In this conversation, Dr. Amy troubleshoots with Julia about her son's diet, growth, meal plans, providing reassurance as well as tips for how to move forward in his diet. The topic then expands to the difficulties of dealing with expectations, "perfect meal" pressures from social media, and so much more! 

In this episode you will hear: 
- What should an 11 month old eat?

- Baby Led Weaning strategies 

- How to use hunger as an incentive

- How to tell baby's nutrition status is okay

- How to meet your child where he/she is

- The pressures in modern parenting, and how it can distract from the child's needs

We are excited to present these unedited discussions with parents, and invite you to be part of the conversation. To submit a question to get on the show, please go to our instagram @AskDoctorAmy and get in touch!
