E 17b : Choking; Baby-led Weaning vs Purees; and Sleep Training: What Every Parent should Know

Starting solids, baby sleep, choking risks and sleep training are some of the most debated topics in parenting, and the amount of conflicting advice online can leave parents feeling anxious and overwhelmed. In this episode of the Best for Baby Podcast, Lisa continues her conversation with physician Dr. Kailey Buller, who is passionate about helping parents understand what is actually normal in the early months with a baby. We talk about the truth behind baby-led weaning vs purees, what parents should know about gagging vs choking, and why baby sleep is largely neurological — not something parents are “doing wrong.” Dr. Buller also shares practical, realistic advice about sleep training, cortisol myths, and how to make decisions that work for your own family without guilt. If you’ve ever worried that you’re doing something wrong with feeding or sleep, this episode will bring clarity and reassurance.
