Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro

#82: Many moms expect their bodies to “bounce back” after having a baby…but months later, odds are they’re still dealing with leaking, pressure, weakness, or discomfort and wondering if this is just how it’s going to be forever? In this episode, I’m joined by Marcy Crouch, DPT, a board-certified women’s health physical therapist and founder of The Down There Doc, to break down what postpartum core and pelvic floor recovery really looks like. We talk about what’s normal, what’s not, and how moms, including those thinking about future pregnancies can start healing their bodies with confidence, even if they’re six months or more postpartum. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. What postpartum core and pelvic floor symptoms are common at six months after having a baby, and which ones are not something you should ignore. 2. How everyday tasks like feeding, lifting, and carrying your baby can affect your pelvic floor…and simple ways to reduce strain. 3. Why addressing pelvic floor health now can help you feel stronger, more comfortable, and better prepared for future pregnancies.

#79: What changes in feeding when your baby turns 1? Honestly...not a whole lot. But we do make the transition to cow’s milk and that can be kind of tricky for some families. In this episode we’re looking at how to pick milk when your baby turns 1. From questions about how much to feed, what types of cow’s milk to try, transitioning from breastmilk and/or formula to cow’s milk and milk alternatives, I’m answering all your questions on how to pick a milk when your baby turns 1. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. Why it’s ok for babies to have cow’s milk protein in yogurt, low sodium cheeses and other dairy foods but why we don’t substitute fluid cow’s milk for breastmilk and/or formula until baby turns 1 2.  What to look for in the milk aisle when you’re choosing a cow’s milk for your baby at or after the 1 year mark 3.  How to wean baby off of the bottle (and when to do that) and what to consider if you need to do a cow’s milk alternative if your baby has cow’s milk protein allergy or you’re a vegan family Shownotes for this episode can be found here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/79 Links from this episode: • Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro program with the 100 First Foods™ Daily Meal Plan, join here: ⁠https://babyledweaning.co/program and get $50 off when you sign up using the code BLWPOD50 • Baby-Led Weaning for Beginners free online workshop with 100 First Foods™ list to all attendees, register here: ⁠https://babyledweaning.co/baby-led-weaning-for-beginners⁠ Other episodes related to this topic: • Episode 13 - “Milk Protein: How to Introduce Your Baby to this Potentially Allergenic Food”⁠ • Episode 40  - “6 Reasons to Skip the Sippy Cup with Dawn Winkelmann, MS, CCC-SLP” ⁠ • Episode 285 - “Are Plant-Based Milks Safe for Babies?” 🌱 🌱🌱🌱 🌱 Not sure about which foods to offer your baby next?
