Words cannot describe how excited I am. I’ve been following Natalie from the Baby Led Weaning Cookbook for ages. I love her recipes and so does Logan and Kaia. If you don’t already, follow her on Instagram, Facebook or download one of her many apps from the app stores.

I reached out to her and asked if she would share some of her recipes with me and she said yes!!!!! Over the next 4 weeks a new recipe from Natalie will be put on the blog. Let me tell you, they are all amazing and I can’t wait to make them myself.
