starting solids

An opportunity to discuss starting solids with your baby, alongside other local parents.

During the session we will cover:

- when to start

- the signs of readiness

- baby-led weaning versus purees

- what equipment you need

- foods which are safe and what to avoid

- milk feeds

- drinking with meals

- gagging and choking

The 'talk' itself won't go on fro the entire hour. Please use any extra time to ask questions, chat to other attendees, enjoy a hot cup of tea (or other drink of your choice) and browse copies of the 'Baby-led Weaning' book by Jill Rapley and Tracey Murkett, and 'Why starting solids matters' by Amy Brown. Copies of these books will be available to borrow, after the session. If you do wish to borrow one, you'll need to leave a £5 refundable deposit, on the day.

The session is suitable for parents with babies who will soon be starting solids or have very recently started them. You are more than welcome to bring your baby along with you.
