Do you have a desire to foster a healthy relationship with food for your family? Wendy Jo & Leslie want to help! They talk about their most recent book - Born to Eat - a book about baby led weaning and developing a healthy relationship with food for the whole family. We chat about how we can honor a baby's innate ability to self-regulate their eating and give kiddos a chance to naturally explore foods from the start. You'll also hear raw and honest stories about their transitions into motherhood.
