Meet Katie Ferraro MPH, RD
I’m a Registered Dietitian and mom of seven specializing in baby-led weaning. In 2016, I created the original 100 First Foods approach to starting solid foods with baby-led weaning. Through my workshops, podcast, courses, and digital content, I've helped tens of thousands of families give their babies a safe start to solid foods using the alternative to conventional, adult-led spoon-feeding known as baby-led weaning.

Teaching families, daycare providers, and healthcare practitioners how to do baby-led weaning safely is my passion. I am a Nutrition Instructor at the University of California San Diego Extended Studies and a Lecturer in the Exercise and Nutrition Science department at San Diego State University and I love teaching about nutrition, food and feeding!
While I work as a dietitian specializing in infant feeding, my real job is at home where my husband and I are parents to seven kids, age 9 and under: a singleton Molly, our 7-year old quadruplets Charlie, Claire, Henry, and Dillon, and 5-year old twins, Gus and Hannah. I started Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro to help educate parents, caregivers, and healthcare providers on how to give their babies a safe start to solid foods using baby-led weaning.
