Starting Solids Consultation
Starting solids is an exciting milestone — but it can also feel overwhelming and full of questions.
This consultation is designed to help you confidently navigate the transition from milk to meals, whether you’re planning to start with purees, baby-led weaning, or a combination of both. You’ll learn how to nourish your baby safely, meet their nutritional needs, and establish a positive foundation for lifelong healthy eating.

Gagging vs. choking — understanding the difference and learning safety strategies
How to meet key nutrient needs, especially for iron, zinc, and healthy fats
Introducing common allergens like peanut, egg, and dairy safely and gradually
How breastmilk or formula fits in as solids are introduced
Responsive feeding and supporting your baby’s natural hunger and fullness cues
