Workshops for parents and carers

Starting Solids

Introducing solid foods is the start of a whole new chapter for you and your baby

Come to a Starting Solids workshop to help you get your baby off to a great start.

The workshop will help you decide:

• When your baby is ready to try solid food
• What foods to start with
• When your baby is hungry and when they’ve had enough
• How to make mealtimes an enjoyable experience for both of you
