How to wean your baby safely

In this special 10-minute cutdown of Parent Unplugged, Charis is
joined by bestselling author and feeding expert Annabel Karmel,
whose work has shaped how millions of parents feed their children -
and whose journey began with profound personal loss. Annabel shares
the heartbreaking story of losing her daughter Natasha as a baby,
the devastating circumstances surrounding her death, and the
life-altering decision that followed: to have another child and
channel her grief into something meaningful. What began as a mother
trying to nourish her son and rebuild his health became a book
written as therapy - one that was rejected by every publisher
before going on to sell over five million copies worldwide.
Alongside her personal story, Annabel offers clear, reassuring
guidance on weaning, choking vs gagging, iron needs, allergies,
fussy eating, and how parents can feel more confident during one of
the most pressured stages of early parenting. This episode is about
more than feeding children. It’s about grief, resilience,
science-led parenting - and creating a legacy from love.
