    Great content and I’ve learned a lot from this podcast. Unfortunately, the content is only about 25% of the play time. The other 75% is ads. I respect that this is a free podcast and her work has value, but it really affects the listener experience. I’ve mostly stopped listening because of it.

I bought her 100 foods before 1 plan and it has made what was super overwhelming actually really fun! My 10 month old has already has 80 or so foods and he’ll definitely have 100+ by the time he’s one. Not only has he h... more
