Babies grow so fast! Before you know it, you'll begin thinking about transitioning your baby from their milk feeds onto solid foods. Whether you decide to go with purees and spoon feeding, or move directly onto finger foods, you may have questions about the different approaches and the practical issues about getting started. This workshop will allow you to explore the different options, together with other parents going through this transition themselves.

​

I will provide up-to-date and evidence-based information on the recommendations for how and when to introduce solid foods, as well as how to keep your baby safe. In addition to sharing information, my goal is to help you build confidence in the decisions you make about how to transition your baby onto solid foods.

​

Specifically, we will discuss:

- different approaches to introducing solid foods, 

exploring the pros and cons of each 

- how to determine your baby's readiness for solid foods and what the current guidelines suggest

- safety issues, such as introducing allergenic foods and recognising the difference between choking and gagging

- meal planning and how you can adapt your family's normal foods to be suitable for your baby
