Eat This, Not That: 5 Safe Food Swaps for Baby-Led Weaning

Katie Ferraro (0s):

Today I got a holiday card from one of the families that I worked with on their baby's 100 First Foods almost three years ago, and they said that that former baby, she's now riding a two wheel bike. And I had to text the mom right away because one of my twins just got rid of training wheels at age six, which is also a friendly reminder not to compare your baby or child to anyone else's because it doesn't matter. But wow does time fly? Kids grow so fast and they're always changing. And the feeding gear that you're using right now, it's gonna be totally helpful if you save it if and when you decide to have another baby or babies. But your current baby is going to be sizing up in feeding gear soon too, and I have a great weight for you to save some money if you're starting to look at toddler or bigger kid feeding gear.

Learning how to eat is a full sensory experience and we spend a lot of time on this podcast talking about the benefits and the sensory aspects of starting solid foods and the importance of those sensory experiences. And as your baby is growing and becoming more curious, you might be interested in other ways to expand those experiences.

Katie Ferraro (3m 33s):

And the deal with the mushrooms is that even though it is the food that a baby can safely eat early on when they start Solid Foods, we don't do like plain mushrooms like I have tried every which way till Tuesday to boil it, to make it safe or roast it or saute it. It doesn't matter. They turn out rubbery, all different varieties of mushrooms. You have to go for this alternative approach if you're gonna do mushrooms early on for your baby. But it's so delicious and it's so easy to do. Here's how, Hey there. I'm Katie Ferraro, registered dietitian, college nutrition professor and mom of seven specializing in Baby-Led Weaning here on the Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro podcast. I help you strip out all of the noise and nonsense about feeding, giving you the confidence and knowledge you need to give your baby a safe start to Solid Foods using Baby-Led Weaning.

Katie Ferraro (4m 26s):

One of the things I absolutely love about Baby-Led Weaning is that it vastly increases the variety of foods that your baby can possibly eat, but as we all know, not all foods are safe for early eaters. So In this episode, I wanna break down five common foods that could pose a choking hazard and that are not ideal for babies in the first phase of Baby-Led Weaning. But then I'm gonna explain how you can safely swap and prepare versions of those same foods so that your baby can safely Eat This new food even if you've just started Solid Foods. Now I like to start each of these mini solo training episodes with a Baby-Led Weaning tip of the day. And today's tip is with very few exceptions, babies can eat almost any individual food even in the first few weeks after starting solid foods.

Katie Ferraro (5m 14s):

Now sometimes parents will say, well, you've got this 100 FIRST FOODS list, Katie, and there's like, how do I know which one to start with? And there's no right or wrong food to start with, but I personally have fed every single food on that 100 FIRST FOODS list to a baby in week one of Baby-Led Weaning. So in my program, Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro in the first eight weeks, your baby's in phase one. So that's the first eight weeks of starting solid foods. And we go with really, really simple soft finger foods. They're about the size of your adult pinky finger. We occasionally we'll do some purees off of a preloaded spoon, meaning that the baby is the one feeding the food to themselves. And there was a couple challenging foods on that list where I remember being like, okay, wait a minute. How am I gonna do shrimp? In week one? Well, we actually do a shrimp avocado puree.

Katie Ferraro (5m 57s):

It's a really simple recipe, but you put it on that preloaded spoon and your baby can feed it to themselves. And that way you can introduce that potentially allergenic food shrimp in week one if you wanted to. There's other foods like corn for example. So I don't do corn on the cob for babies until they have at least one tooth. And most babies who start Solid Foods don't have teeth. But that doesn't mean you can't do corn because we do polenta. Instead, you take cornmeal and you mix it with water and it makes this amazing thick consistency. And when that cools, you put it into little patties, you fry it, cut it into little finger foods, and your baby can feed themselves corn. I also don't do foods like chicken on the bone, for example, for early eaters. I also wait until a baby has at least one tooth, but you can do chicken during week one of Baby-Led Weaning, we do the soft shreddable strips of meat like chicken legs and wings and thighs.

Katie Ferraro (6m 41s):

Those are nice and fatty. They're easy for your baby to pick up, and it's a great, great way to start introducing iron containing foods. So when you look at all the foods on the 100 First Foods list, I don't want you to be intimidated, but I want you to instead think like, wow, these are all the foods that my baby basically can eat. So In this episode, I know I already did corn and chicken, but I'm gonna pick out five different foods from the 100 First Foods list and explain for that particular food how we don't prepare it for early eaters, but then also what you can do to make it safe for your baby if you are in those earlier stages of Baby-Led Weaning. And if you're getting a late start to finger foods, maybe you have an eight or nine or a 10 month old baby and you've just made the switch from pure, generally speaking for the first eight weeks after you start Solid Foods, that's when we move parents and families through phase one of our program.

Katie Ferraro (7m 27s):

Those are much more simple foods. We're not doing any multi textured or combination foods. We save those for phase two, that's the second eight weeks. So once you get to Food 40 in the program, we move you into phase two. Inside of my program, we have recipes for all of the different ages and stages of Baby-Led Weaning for all of the foods on the 100 FIRST FOODS list, including videos and recipes and descriptions to show you exactly how to make those foods because I know a lot of you maybe have never made a lamb roast before or you're not really sure what to do with parsnips, but don't worry, I got you covered. If you wanna check out that program, it's online at babyledweaning.co/program. And you can get started today. And if you've already started Solid Foods, if you're following my five step feeding framework, we introduce five new foods to your baby each week.

Katie Ferraro (8m 11s):

So every Monday we do a fruit. Every Tuesday we do a vegetable. Every Wednesday we do a starchy food. Every Thursday we do a protein. And then every Friday we do a new allergenic food. So that's five new foods a week. It's 20 foods in a month, and in the course of five short months, your baby has eaten a hundred foods. So those five food groups, fruit, vegetables, starchy foods, protein and allergenic foods, there's 20 foods on the 100 First Foods list in each of those categories. So the way I structured today's episode is I'm gonna pick one food from each of those categories that I normally would be like, oh, that's not a great food for an early eater, but I'm gonna show you how you can modify to make it safe. So let's get started with the first food category. The new food that we do every Monday is a fruit. And I'm picking grapes because I do not love grapes as you may know them in their intact form.

Katie Ferraro (8m 55s):

I don't like those at all. For babies, whole grapes are a huge choking hazard. Now, do six month olds get offered whole grapes? Usually not. Most parents have gotten the message that that's not a safe food. But if you look at the data about choking from grapes, a lot of it has to do with toddlers. And the difference between toddlers and your baby is that toddlers run around and if your child is eating grapes while they're running around and they fall and they choke on that, okay, of course that grape could possibly, you know, become lodged in their airway and it it's exactly the size that could occlude their airway. So for grapes, for babies less than age one, we generally quarter grapes or and other small foods like cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes. So that size of food, we quarter them. And then even after age one, I still cut them in half. But here's the problem with quartering grapes, because for your early eater in phase one at six and seven, even eight months of age, your baby's not going to have their pen or grasp.

Katie Ferraro (9m 42s):

So they can't even pick up those small pieces of grape on their own. And the premise of Baby-Led Weaning is that the baby picks the food up and feeds it to themselves. So if they can't pick the food up, the quartered grapes don't work. So let's say you are just hell bent on doing grapes during phase one or week one of Baby-Led Weaning. And I have two solutions for you. I've got a great green grape slushy recipe. This has recently become one of my more favorite recipes. I like to use the ezpz tiny pop molds to make little popsicles that your baby can pick up and feed to themselves. And generally we avoid added sugar for children at least till age two. If you can hold out. So this is just a really simple recipe that starts with whole grapes, but you puree them up along with some lime juice and a little bit of other flavoring.

Katie Ferraro (10m 24s):

Put them in those ezpz, tiny pop molds in your baby can pick it up and feed them to themselves. Now if you haven't tried popsicles yet, it's such a fun food for an early eater, especially if your baby is teething. If you wanna check out those ezpz tiny pop molds, they were created by my friend and colleague Dawn Winkelmann. She's the feeding expert for the company. EZPZ my affiliate discount code Katie 10 works for 10% off at ezpzfun.com if you're stocking up on any feeding gear. Another grape recipe from our program that I love is our sugar free grape jam recipe. This one involves a little bit of cooking, but it's really basic, also has no added sugar and it makes a great spread to go on top of low sodium bread or crackers if your baby has gotten to those foods as well.

Katie Ferraro (11m 7s):

Now once your baby's a little bit older and they have their pinch grasp, when you're in phase two or three of Baby-Led Weaning and your baby's been eating Solid Foods for at least eight weeks and they have that pinch grasp, then you're gonna feel more comfortable doing a smaller food like a corded grape. And if that's works for you, go for it. But you always wanna pick the seeds out if you are buying or have grapes with seeds in them. Alright, second food I wanna tackle is from the second food category. The new food that we do every Tuesday is a new vegetable. And I'll be honest with you, I personally love mushrooms, but I do not love mushrooms for early eaters. But have I done mushrooms in week one for families? I want to, heck yeah, I have tried every witch way till Tuesday to get just a basic mushroom to work to be soft enough so that it passes the squish test.

Katie Ferraro (11m 50s):

And I've tried out lots of different varieties of mushrooms and you just can't do it. Mushrooms get rubbery if you roast them, if you saute them, they're one of the few foods that you can just like boil to smithereens and it still won't soften. So I just don't love plain intact mushrooms. For early eaters, they're a choking hazard 'cause they don't get soft enough. So the way that I modify mushrooms is I've got two recipes in our program in phase one for mushrooms. I love our mushroom fritters. These are so basic. You basically just pulverize mushrooms in the food processor. You mix it with one egg, a little bit of seasoning. I usually do some parsley and you fry 'em in whatever cooking oil you have until the egg coagulates that egg protein, when it gets set, it kinda holds everything together.

Katie Ferraro (12m 32s):

You cool them, you cut 'em into little finger foods about the size of your adult pinky finger and your baby can pick it up and feed themselves mushroom. Now if you don't do egg or you haven't tried egg yet, 'cause we did do this once in week one where baby hadn't had any allergenic foods. So since they hadn't had egg on its own yet, I don't want to mix it into a recipe with a new other food like a mushroom. So I also had a baby, we did mushrooms very early on and the baby had already had an established egg allergy. So you can also do an egg substitute in these fritters. You can do a flax or a chia seed egg. So if you're not doing egg because of allergy or you just haven't gotten to it yet, you can make that same mushroom fritter with the egg substitute. You take one tablespoon of chia or flaxseed, you mix it with three tablespoons of water, stir it up a little bit, let it sit for about 10 minutes until it gets to the consistency kind of gelatinize.

Katie Ferraro (13m 18s):

And it's almost like an egg white consistency. And then you mix that in in place of one egg. So that's the mushroom fritters. Another one of my favorite recipes inside of our program. This is a phase two/three recipe, but it's our mini mushroom meat loafs. I love this recipe because you basically cut ground Beef with ground mushroom. So it's a 50 50 blend of ground mushroom and ground Beef. And then there's a few other seasonings in there to make like more of a traditional meatloaf. You can bake these off. I like to use a mini loaf pan. So I prefer mini loafs over muffin tins because they make these nice rectangular pieces that freeze really nicely. And also when you cut the rectangle up, it makes like the perfect pinky size finger food that's easy for a baby to pick up.

Katie Ferraro (13m 59s):

Sometimes with like a muffin, it's like the round shape. It's sometimes kind of hard, especially for the earlier eaters. So you could do it. I used to make 'em all the time in muffin tins before I got real hot on the mini loaf pan. If you don't have a mini loaf pan, go on Amazon and get one. I'll link the one that I always get. Amazon's always like, you ordered this five times this year already. I'm like, I know I bake a lot of things in mini loaf pans because it's a lot less messy than frying. I love frying fritters, but it does make a big mess. So sometimes I get lazy and just want to bake it and then I freeze a bunch of these. They're wonderful to have on hand if you're like just not down for making meat from scratch every day, which I know you guys aren't. Plus your baby's trying that new food, which is mushroom. Now I wanna point out, we're not hiding the mushrooms in this recipe.

Katie Ferraro (14m 39s):

They're very out there, okay, you can taste the mushrooms. The intention is never to hide any foods from babies, right? Especially vegetables. Oh my God, I was dying you guys. This major national brand sent me an email today. Will you promote this new product that we have? It's a yogurt in a pouch, which first of all, babies don't need baby yogurt 'cause babies can eat real yogurt. Children don't need to suck yogurt out of a pouch 'cause they can eat it off of a spoon like everyone else does. And then this product was bragging about it, hiding vegetables in it. It was like, dude, are we still doing this? Brands like, so tone deaf, hiding vegetables from children implies that there's something inherently wrong with those vegetables. Put those vegetable flavors out there. Babies love mushrooms you guys, but pick it for your next vegetable if you haven't already done it.

Katie Ferraro (15m 20s):

Hey, we're gonna take a quick break, but I'll be right back.

Airdoctor (15m 27s):

Okay, I wish this were not true. But as someone who works in front of a computer or a phone all day, I know that of the average 20,000 breaths that Americans take a day, 90% of those and 90% of our time is being spent indoors. And the indoor air that we breathe can be up to a hundred times more polluted than outdoor air according to the EPA. And indoor air pollutants can lead to respiratory symptoms like sneezing, congestion, scratchy throat, or even more serious health problems like lung and heart disease. So what can we do about it? Well, air doctor has thought a lot about this and they've put their technology to work for you. The air doctor is an air purifier that filters out 99.99% of dangerous contaminants so that your lungs don't have to.

Katie Ferraro (17m 8s):

Alright, the third food that I wanna cover today is from the starchy foods category. So again, there's 20 starchy foods on the 100 First Foods list. And if you take a look at it, you'll notice there's a lot of whole grains, but one kind of jumps out and you're like, oh, tortilla. I'm like, I what a tortilla is. I can figure out how to feed a baby. But I don't love plain tortillas for early eaters because one of two reasons, okay? If you do plain flour tortillas way too high in salt for babies, okay? General rule of thumb is I like to see less than a hundred milligrams of sodium per serving of a food that I'm gonna feed to a baby. Now is your baby gonna eat a whole tortilla? Heck no. But the point is flour tortillas have a lot added salt. We wanna minimize salt. So you look at corn tortillas, oh heck yeah, there's less.

Katie Ferraro (17m 48s):

Almost no salt in corn tortillas, but corn tortillas on their own, like straight outta the fridge or off the shelf, they're pretty dry, okay? And any dry food, especially dry starchy or protein foods can pose a choking hazard for early eaters. So what I do with the corn tortillas, okay, this one's really basic you guys. I dredge them or drench 'em in enchilada sauce to soften 'em up. Kind of like step one. Like if you do that, like if you're making enchiladas and you kind of, I sometimes put them in the sauce. I know some people put 'em in the oil and fry 'em, but I'm a dietitian so I put the tortillas in enchilada sauce before I make the enchiladas. The problem with the enchilada sauce though of course, is that the prepared enchilada sauce that you buy in a can or from a jar way, way too much salt for babies.

Katie Ferraro (18m 30s):

So we have a no added salt enchilada sauce in the program. It's super good. You can make a lot of this. We use it if you eat a lot of tortillas, you're gonna love this. You just add salt back for yourself and the rest of your family if you want to. But babies freaking love it. You can dip the no salt corn tortillas into that, no salt enchilada sauce, cut it into strips, it makes it nice and soft and your baby can pick it up and feed it to themselves. Alright, the next category of foods, the new food that we do every Thursday. Food number four is a new protein food. So on my 100 FIRST FOODS list we have 20 proteins, 10 animal and 10 plant proteins. Now for those of you that eat animal foods, you're probably interested in starting your baby on those foods like meat early on because they have a great source of iron, okay? There's a lot of plant proteins in the program that have a lot of iron in them too.

Katie Ferraro (19m 13s):

But if you're looking to do meat, you might think about Beef, okay? And I know that there's other accounts out there that say, oh, steak is fine for babies to have, but steak is a huge choking hazard for early eaters, even toddlers. And your older kids, you might notice if you have them, they have trouble with steak. Heck, you might have trouble chewing steak if it's particularly tough. So while I love Beef for babies, there's lots of different cuts of Beef. And I think this is sometimes what happens when we're getting feeding and food information from accounts or people that are not credentialed feeding or nutrition experts. They don't recognize like, you know, there's other cuts of Beef out there besides steak, right? Because I'm not dis in Beef, I love it. But what we like to see for early eaters is nice soft shred shreddable strips of meat.

Katie Ferraro (19m 53s):

Okay? I don't do any solid pieces of meat. My mantra is if you can shred the meat between your fingers and your thumb, then it's safe for your baby to eat with their gums. So steak, you cannot shred it between your fingers and your thumbs. Same goes with pork chops, okay? Lots of great cuts of pork that will make those soft shreddable strips but not pork chops. Okay? So when it comes to Beef, I don't do solid pieces of Beef like steak, but I love cuts of Beef. Like for example, a chuck roast Beef chuck roast. Oh my gosh, amazing. So affordable, so easy to make soft. We have a great pot roast recipe in our program. It's such grandma food, I know it, but babies freaking love it. I like it too. And then also another great cut is brisket, Beef brisket. I know it's like kind of trendy in some worlds. My husband makes fun of me 'cause he's from Texas and he freaking loves barbecue.

Katie Ferraro (20m 34s):

I think barbecue is overrated. But no offense to people from Texas who disagree. I also really do not like the white bread that comes with barbecue. Like if your meat is so good, why do you serve it with a loaf of white bread? That makes no sense to me. But anyway, back to the brisket, he's like, you never liked brisket until you got into Baby-Led Weaning. And then you realized you big saw shreddable strips of meat. And I was like, you are absolutely correct. I love a brisket. I also love country style ribs. They're like kind of a round cut of meat depending upon what part of the country you live in. You may or may not have access to them. Actually did a really cool interview with Kara Nicoletti. She's like a third or fourth generation butcher from the east coast. And we had this great conversation about, you know, why in different parts of the country they call different parts of the cow, different things. I'll link to that 'cause like there's a lot of great knowledge in there about the cuts of meat that you can buy to make safe for your baby.

Katie Ferraro (21m 19s):

Alright, the fifth category of food that I want to talk about is the last group. The new food we do every Friday. That's an allergenic food. Okay? And there's nine allergens, we call them the top nine allergenic foods. And these are the nine foods that account for about 90% of food allergy in the United States in North America. So we wanna offer those foods early and often that helps lower the risk of food allergy down the road. So you, you know, you probably figure out like how to do peanut and tree nut and egg and cow's milk. Like those are pretty easy for Baby-Led Weaning. It's the Shellfish that freaks people out. And I used to be like, I don't really love like shrimp for example. I have a couple different types of Shellfish on the 100 First Foods list 'cause there's 20 foods in each category, but there's only nine top allergens. So I put 11 other varieties of those same nine foods.

Katie Ferraro (22m 0s):

So you're getting multiple exposures. 'cause you don't just do like the Shellfish ones and be like, oh, they're not allergic. You gotta repeatedly offer that to your baby. But Shellfish is a little bit hard because depending upon your, you know, culinary abilities, you might not be making Shellfish every day in your kitchen. Heck, I'm not. Although I do make shrimp pretty often. 'cause it's insulin a really affordable source of protein these days. I feel like when I was growing up, shrimp was so expensive and now it's so cheap. And I, I was listening to some book like The Secret Life of Groceries actually the other day. I was talking about how the cost of shrimp came down and I was like, ah, interesting. I don't think it tastes like a whole lot, but you know, Shellfish the good one for babies, it's one of those top nine allergenic foods. Shrimp is one way to do that. But I don't just like give a six month old baby a, you know, like a shrimp cocktail or a rubbery piece of shrimp, especially if they don't have a tooth yet, or teeth, because that's a choking hazard.

Katie Ferraro (22m 46s):

However, I love shrimp, avocado puree. One of my interns came up with this. She's, I put this tester like, all right baby, week one we're gonna do Shellfish. How are we gonna do shrimp? And I was trying to think of all these like crazy sexy ways and she's like, why ain't just puree with avocado? That baby already had avocado on day one. I was like, yeah, good point. And remember Baby-Led Weaning does not mean skipping purees. Okay? Purees are an important texture for your baby to master. They're just not the only texture that your baby can eat. So if you make a thick puree and you put it on a spoon and you put that spoon in your baby's mouth, the baby can bring their spoon to their mouth and they can try that new potentially allergenic protein food, the shrimp, when it's mixed in something else that they've already passed, which is avocado and very unlikely to cause an allergy. Now in phase two and three of our program, I love our shrimp cakes recipe.

Katie Ferraro (23m 28s):

This is a multi textured combination food. So I wouldn't do it in week one, but a lot of families, spoiler alert, they wait until the very, very last allergenic food to do Shellfish. So by then they're at least nine weeks into the program. They're in phase two. They've done up just about 45 foods at that point. And then they're like, Hey, I'm ready to do some shrimp, shrimp cakes, kinda like crab cakes. They're fantastic. You pull 'em in a food processor, chop it really fine, mix it up with Panko, which are Japanese style breadcrumbs. Love panko for Baby-Led Weaning 'cause the Panko is lower in sodium. Then regular breadcrumbs, you throw an egg in there, a little bit of other seasoning, fry 'em up. Super delicious, nice finger food that your baby can pick up and feed to themselves.

Katie Ferraro (24m 8s):

So I don't want you guys to be shy about skipping around that 100 First Foods list. If you're looking for new foods to feed your baby next week, you can maybe try out those five foods that I covered. To recap the new fruit is grapes. Okay? You can do the grape slushie or you can do the sugar free grape jam that you can spread on something else if you want to. Or just offer that from a preloaded spoon. The second new food for the new vegetable of the week, you could try mushrooms. Okay? We don't do those rubbery, sauteed boiled or roasted mushrooms. Instead, try the mushroom fritters. Or if you're a little bit, you know, more advanced, try the mini mushroom meatloaf recipe, which is absolutely fantastic for the third new food from the starchy foods category. If you're trying one out, we'll look at tortilla. Okay? I think there's a lot of other really awesome whole grains that I would do before tortilla.

Katie Ferraro (24m 50s):

But again, if you haven't done tortilla yet, soak it in that no salt enchilada sauce. It's so good. It's not really good on its own, but it's really good for babies to feed themselves. It doesn't like taste good to you and me is what I mean. It's like a soggy tortilla chip. Alright, the fourth food, if you're gonna do a meat and you're looking to do Beef, I say go for it. But don't try to do a solid piece of meat that your baby's gonna choke on. Do soft shreddable strips a Beef chuck roast, try pot roast, do a Beef brisket, do some country style ribs. Lots, lots and lots of ways to make meat safe, especially Beef. I have so many Beef recipes inside of the program. And again, if you wanna get started on that head, the babyledweaning.co/program. I've got my original 100 First Foods Daily Meal Plan. So if you're like, I don't wanna pick out the foods that my baby's gonna to eat every week, I picked them out for you.

Katie Ferraro (25m 34s):

20 weeks of meal plans done for you with a grocery list every week with the recipes, with the menu and the weekend allergy maintenance menu too. Like I literally tell you what to feed your baby every meal if you're down for that. And for that fifth food, the allergenic food is shrimp. We don't do the rubbery pieces of shrimp for early eaters, but you could try a simple shrimp avocado puree offered from a preloaded spoon. Or if you're a little more advanced, you can do those shrimp cakes. Okay? Now, if you do the shrimp cakes, that's a combination multi textured food. It's generally for the babies that have moved on to phase two, okay? They have to already have passed wheat because there's panko, the the breadcrumbs in there, there's also egg in there. So you wanna make sure you do those allergenic foods on their own a number of times without reaction before you offer them with another new food. Like for example, shrimp.
