Introduction to Solids

Duration: 2 hours

It feels like just as you've got the hang of your baby’s milk requirements then it’s nearly time to think about weaning.  Yet if you’re a first time mum how do you know when to start introducing solid foods to your baby and how to do it? What even constitutes a solid? How much weaning off the milk should you be doing?  Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Come to our class to find out more. 

The session will cover 

• When to start solids
• Why is this important
• What weaning equipment you’ll need (and what not to waste money on)
• Safety and hygiene
• Which foods to give and which foods to avoid (some foods are definitely not suitable for babies under 12 months)
• Textures and progressing with this
• Baby-led weaning and what this means
• Purees and jars

We will discuss baby led weaning and purees, how to continue with milk feeds (both breast and bottle), discuss ideas/myths and of course tailor the session to any queries you may have. There’s always plenty of time for questions. As always all the advice we give will be evidence based, with no preaching. No breakout rooms, just a warm, supportive informal yet informative vibe.  We know that you may have your baby with you once you are ready for this class - don’t worry, we’re very understanding of this and they are very welcome! We love to see little faces on the zoom calls. 

Really informative

Just finished the "Introduction to Solids "workshop and absolutely loved it, it was super positive and informative. Miriam created a friendly environment were mums learned and felt comfortable to put questions through.

We did a weaning course with Miriam Feen on 'Introducing Solids' and it was fabulous. Real life advice for busy families, following baby cues, great tips for weaning and ignoring all the nonsense advertising and conflicting advice there is out there. Can't thank Miriam enough & will definitely be looking for more courses with her in the future.

People who booked this class also booked sleep for older babies.
