Listen to this episode to learn:

What the existing body of research says about baby-led weaning…and why doctors still say they aren’t sure if it “works”
How Kinzie analyzed existing publications about baby-led weaning in her review article recently published in Nutrients
Why researchers in infant feeding often say “more research is needed” instead of doing that actual research themselves
