Why not skip the sippy cups altogether and teach your baby how to drink from a regular, open cup? That’s how we do it in the Montessori approach. It's better for their speech development, and easier cleanup for you (no parts!).

Here's how to do it!

It's often said that hindsight is 20/20. And this couldn't be truer for first time parents. Looking back now, I would have prepared for my daughter a whole lot differently. And a lot more minimally, for sure.

Here are the just the basics of what your baby needs in those first few weeks!

Looking for some easy, yummy baby led weaning recipes to try with your little one? I've been busily bookmarking recipes left and right since I first started it with my own daughter, and now that my baby girl is becoming a more seasoned solid food eater, I've been revisiting my pins to start trying out some of the recipes with her.

So you're ready to start baby led weaning, but you're not sure what to give your baby to eat or how to make it? You're in luck! Today I'm sharing with you Kylie's entire first month of food, starting at 5 months & 3 weeks old. I will also share exactly how I prepared it and the relative sizes of pieces, plus I've provided links to videos, so you can watch her trying each new food! Although every baby's taste preferences and skills are different, this might help to give you an idea of what you might be able to expect with your own little one!

Montessori - although rooted in education - is not JUST a type of education! It's a whole way of life, and of parenting, that can be implemented at home, as well. And even better? You can start from birth!

If you've never heard of this whole "new-fangled" idea of baby led weaning before (which really isn't all that new), then please allow me to make it really simple for you: it's when you start feeding your baby real food from the very start. Yep, that's right... the very same stuff you would make and eat yourself. You skip the purees and mashed stuff altogether, and go straight to the real thing.

If you want to increase your milk supply and you're looking for an all-natural way to do so... then these DELICIOUS and CHEWY oatmeal chocolate chip lactation cookies might be worth a try!
