We started transitioning from spoon-feeding to BLW this week & I can't tell you how much these guides/videos have helped us 🙏🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a Mama who's been a picky eater all her life, I truly didn't know where to start & if I'm being honest... I was a little embarrassed that I didn't even know how to cut up fruit 😅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I spent a few days watching all the videos & going through the guides, and while the anxiety is still there at this point in our ... it's def not as bad as it would be without ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I just want to give a HUGE shoutout to Jenny, the Founder for creating this resource. It was meant for mamas like me ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We've finally settled into our home (on wheels!) for the next 6 weeks 🚌

Overall, she did really well–– only a few crying episodes over the course of 7ish hours!

Stay tuned for this week's episode all about traveling with an infant and how to make it less stressful on the both of you 😉
