In this episode, we chat with speech-language pathologist Juliana McLaren about how babies develop chewing and feeding skills.

Juliana breaks down when and how chewing emerges, what really matters when starting solids, and how different feeding approaches — from baby-led weaning to spoon-feeding — shape oral development. She also shares practical tips for supporting your baby’s feeding journey, and signs it might be time to seek help.
