FREE Community Class! Come learn the basics of Baby Led Weaning! Baby Led Weaning is an approach to introducing whole foods that are complimentary to milk at 6 months of age or when baby meets all signs of readiness. Baby Led Weaning is an alternative to traditional weaning using purées and spoon feeding in that purées are not used and baby self directs their own feeding.
