Confused about where to start with solids?
I know the thought of it all can be way too overwhelming. You’ve probably heard a million different opinions, you’re scared of doing the wrong thing and gagging freaks you out!
Or maybe you’ve started with some purees and finger foods, but don’t know where to go after banana, avocado and sweet potato.
The thing is…getting this ‘right’ is really important to you because it sets up the foundation for your baby’s health and their relationship with food for years to come.
But it’s so confusing and even scary and you don’t want to get it wrong.
So I’m here to walk you through step-by-step!
From the latest infant feeding and gut health research and up-to-date guidelines on food introduction including common allergen foods, to helpful tips and advice that make your life a whole lot easier.
My role as a nutritionist is to help guide you through the amount of overwhelming information and choices so that you can feel confident that you’re introducing solids in a way that supports your baby’s growth and development and helps them to develop a positive relationship with food that will help to set them up for a thriving life.
I have worked with hundreds of mums to help them introduce solids to their babies and not only has this helped them to know when their baby is ready and what to feed them, but the long term results have meant that as they grow into toddlers, they have a foundation to become healthy, happy little eaters.
Hi, I’m Jo
As mothers, we often take on the main role of deciding what and how our family eats. We do the research, we learn or develop the skills, we do the trial and error. We also do the bulk of the worrying…
Introducing solids is no different.
When it was time for me to start solids to my youngest, I felt completely overwhelmed. The information about when to start and what to feed him kept changing and he seemed to struggle with everything I offered.
The more research I did, the more confused I was about what to do.
This led me to studying a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutritional Medicine where I learned the importance of gut health and how our relationship with food can affect our long term health and wellbeing.
Studying a degree in nutrition isn’t exactly everyone’s cup of tea, so I have done the research, dissected the theory and worked with hundreds of families so that I can support you to lay the foundations of healthy, happy little eaters.
