Description
Starting solids with babies can feel like a full-time job — and when you’re doing it with twins or multiples, it can feel even more overwhelming.
In this episode, we’re joined by pediatric dietitian and nutritionist Olivia Bates, founder of Nourishing Bubs, to answer all the questions parents have when starting their solids journey.
We chat about:
- The signs your baby is actually ready for solids
- Baby-led weaning vs purees
- Introducing allergens safely
- How solids should fit alongside milk feeds
- Iron intake and toddler nutrition
- Picky eating and food refusal
- Practical tips for twin and multiple parents navigating mealtimes
This episode is packed with realistic, judgement-free advice and so much reassurance for parents trying to navigate this stage without losing their minds.
Whether you’re about to start solids or deep in the beige-food toddler era — this one is for you.
