Eating Out in Restaurants: Tips for Baby-Led Weaning Away from Home
#71: Eating out with your baby doesn’t have to be a stressful, messy disaster (...even though it can definitely feel that way the first few times!) In this episode I’m sharing simple, real-world strategies to make restaurant dining with your baby calm, safe, and even enjoyable.
You’ll learn what to pack, how to set your baby up for success in a restaurant high chair, and which foods from the menu are actually safe for baby-led weaning.
Whether you’re heading out for brunch, dinner with friends, or just want to stop avoiding restaurants altogether, this episode will help you feel prepared, not panicked if you’re doing baby-led weaning.
Listen to this episode to learn:
1. Set your baby up for restaurant success by packing the right gear and seating situation
2. Choose and modify restaurant foods safely so your baby can eat real food (...not off of the kids’ menu)
3. Handle restaurant meals with confidence from what to order to mastering the exit strategy
