Ep 34: FIRST FOODS! With Sarah Booyens

Loading player...
This week on The Great Equalizer, Sam and Charlene are period twins, because friends who bleed together stay together! PLUS, we talk weaning, solids, toddler foods and picky eaters.

Folks, we’ve said it before and we’ll say it again… WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE’RE DOING. But in this episode we acknowledge that the best guidance we ever got about weaning our babies and starting them on solids was(solicited) advice from other mothers.

So Sam and Charlene go back to their own weaning experiences, filling listeners in on what worked for them, what didn’t and what they’d do differently if they had to do it all over again.

And because she’s IN IT and just published a brand-spanking new blog post on the topic, we also chat to the ever-fabulous girl mom of two @mascara_and_mimosas, who fills us in about her weaning journey, as well as some products that she currently can’t live without.
