Transitioning from"Boob to Food"with Luka - part 1 - a podcast by Beyond The Bump

Beyond The Bump is a podcast, brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Sophie Pearce! A podcast targeted at mums, just like you! A place to have real conversations with honest and authentic people.

In our fourteenth episode of Beyond The Bump, Jayde and Sophie chat to Luka McCabe, midwife, nurse, mother of two and nutrition consultant who runs the amazingly informative instagram and website Boob to Food, about all things infant nutrition. Because we had so many questions for Luka, we split this interview into two parts. On today’s episode, we discuss introducing solids, purees vs baby led weaning and the pros and cons of each, developing good eating habits, how much food is enough, what goes in pouches and how to introduce grains. On next week’s episode we will talk about introducing allergens, tips for raising a child plant based, tips for fussy eaters, weaning off the boob and much more!

There are two amazing sponsors for this episode of Beyond the Bump, Nutra Organics and Calming Blankets.
