The Journey of Introducing Solids

A Holistic and Family-Focused Approach 

Starting solids is an exciting milestone - but it can also feel overwhelming. Our Introducing Solids course gives you everything you need to confidently begin your baby’s solid-food journey while keeping family mealtimes simple, enjoyable, and stress-free.

 

We take a holistic, family-focused approach, helping you feed your baby adapted versions of family meals from early on. This means less time cooking separate dishes and more shared experiences at the table because mealtimes should bring families together, not add extra work.

​

Our method is designed to help you feel confident, informed, and relaxed, while supporting your baby’s development and relationship with food. By starting solids in a responsive, family-focused way, you’ll be setting the stage for happier mealtimes and fewer food struggles down the track.
