#59: One of the biggest hurdles to baby-led weaning can be… the grandparents. When the people helping care for your baby don’t understand or agree with how you’re feeding them, tensions can rise.
In this episode, I’m joined by Aaron Larsen, founder of The Grandparents Academy, to talk about how adult parents can better communicate with their own parents about baby-led weaning and other modern parenting choices..
If you want to honor the important role your baby’s grandparents play while sticking to your feeding philosophy, this episode will show you how.

Listen to this episode to learn:
 1. How to navigate tough conversations with your baby’s grandparents about parenting choices like baby-led weaning without creating conflict
 2. Practical ways to include and honor grandparents even when your feeding approach looks different from how they raised you.
 3. Scripts and language for inviting grandparents into the conversation through events like the Grandparents Week Summit, so they feel empowered, not excluded.
