Now that Max is just over one year old, we are really beginning to get the hang of things when it comes to mealtime. We primarily use the baby led weaning approach, allowing Max to feed himself and enjoy our meals alongside us, but he also enjoy smoothies and spoon-feeding too! Whatever method you use, the important thing is to get Baby fed!

As a breastfed, plant-based baby, Max enjoys a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, legumes, and healthy fats! On days when we don't have anywhere to be, I love to spend extra quality time with my little man, and it's been such a joy and a rewarding experience getting to figure out how to nourish his growing body! I hope these meals give you inspiration and helpful ideas for feeding your little ones!
