Weaning course

Not sure how to wean your baby?

Are you getting ready to start to wean your baby onto solid foods. Then look no further my Introducing Solids online course is here!

The Introducing Solids Online Course takes you through the process of starting to wean your baby step by step. This very affordable course provides a combination of over 30 short video tutorials which include food and seating examples, as well as multiple real life baby videos demonstrating weaning readiness and babies first solid tastes. More importantly the information is up to date and evidence based and written and delivered by me - a feeding and swallowing specialist speech therapist with over 20 years of experience.

Why choose a weaning course?

Starting solids can be an exciting time, however for some parents it can feel overwhelming.

IF YOU…

are unsure about what equipment you need?
need help to decide what approach to take (spoon or baby led weaning)?
are worried about gagging and choking
aren’t sure about how to manage milk and solids

Or just generally don’t know where to start or what to expect….

Then let me guide you through the process of introducing solids. I don’t subscribe to a one size fits all approach to any aspect of feeding and weaning is no different. On the course I provide you with all the information you need to get started with weaning so that YOU can make the right CHOICES for you and your family!

“I found looking at the consistencies and how you made the puree and finger food REALLY helpful. It also equipped me with all the info I needed to make really informed decisions for me and my baby.

I absolutely know she isn’t developmentally ready yet. You’ve given me that information and made me really confident and excited to start when we are ready, So thank you”

What can you expect from the course?

This course is for parents of babies who are about to start solids or who have just started.

The course contains a series of short videos which you can watch in whatever order you’d like in your own time.

“I was a bit anxious about weaning my daughter as I had a bad experience with my son, he had cerebral palsy which was undiagnosed at the weaning stage and also multiple severe allergies that we didn’t anticipate. This all led to a food aversion. I also find there is a lack of consistent advice out there which makes it confusing. I enjoy following you on Instagram and your course was very informative and clear. It’s helped to resolve some of my anxiety and I hope in a month’s time we can start a successful relaxed weaning journey.”
