Starting Solids Made Easy: A Dietitian’s Guide to Baby’s First Bites with Cinthia Scott RD, IBCLC | Episode 21
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Starting solids can feel overwhelming—so many questions, so much conflicting advice, and the pressure to "do it right." In this episode of Little Bites for Healthy Lives, we’re talking about the real challenges parents face during that first year of feeding, and how to approach it with more confidence and less stress.
Our guest, Pediatric Registered Dietitian and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Cinthia Scott, joins us to share supportive, practical guidance for introducing solids in a way that works for your unique family. We discuss how she got started with educating parents on social media through her popular account @the.baby.dietitian as well as common baby nutrition concerns, like when to start, what to serve, how to handle picky eating, and why variety early on matters. Most importantly, we talk about tuning out the noise and leaning into a feeding approach that fits your values and lifestyle.
Cinthia also shares insights from her co-authored book, 101 Before One: Starting Solids, a helpful resource packed with tips and food inspiration for those early feeding months.
If you’ve ever felt confused or anxious about feeding your baby or toddler, this episode is here to support you.
