In this episode I’m joined by Megan Garcia to discuss when and how to to start introducing solid foods to your baby, what foods are best (and which ones you should avoid).
There’s a lot of conflicting information to sift through out there, so this episode should be really practically helpful as you prepare for feeding your little one solid foods!
Megan Garcia is a mama to two boys and lives in Los Angeles. She has a master’s degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine and is the creator of First Foods & Beyond.
Her main gig for the last ten years has been copywriting, editing, and research for folks in the health and wellness industry.
When Megan found out she was pregnant with her first baby back in 2011, she began going deep into baby health and wellness (specifically a baby’s first 1000 days).
Her interest in baby health, combined with a big love for all things food and gut-related has become the heart and soul of what she does in her own little corner of the web at MeganGarcia.com.

Sponsor Spotlight: Beautycounter
Did you know that the personal care industry has very little regulation in our country?
Companies are allowed to include known toxins in their products – ingredients that are linked to hormone disruption, fertility issues, cancer and more.
And they aren’t required to disclose these ingredients with you. Sounds wrong, right?
I have been aware for a number of years that our personal care products don’t have enough regulations in this country to be called safe.
I’ve known I needed to switch my products and throw away some of the more toxic things, but my problem was that I couldn’t find products that worked well!
Everything I tried left my skin feeling dry and my makeup looking like I hadn’t put anything on after 10 am.
It was a real problem and I wanted to give up trying to find good and safe products…that is, until I discovered Beautycounter!
Beautycounter is committed to a health and safety standard that goes well beyond what’s required by U.S. law.
They’ve banned the use of more than 1,500 questionable or harmful chemicals through their “Never List”—all while ensuring their products perform and that they’re as indulgent as any other luxe shampoo, lipstick, or oil in the market.
