Introduction to Starting Solids
This class has helped many moms confidently start solids with their little ones but it's been retired (even though it's awesome!) to make room for a brand new membership to help you maintain your milk supply long term
Learn how to introduce solid foods to your breastfed baby!
Whether you're thinking about choosing baby-led weaning or purees because food before one is NOT just for fun!
This class was made for you if...
You want to feel more confident about introducing your little one to new foods including allergens like peanuts, dairy and eggs
You don't know if it means your supply will drop
You're worried about starting with baby-led weaning
Your nervous about your baby choking or gagging on the new foods
You want to know how to balance solid foods with nursing or pumping
You think your baby is ready but you're not sure where to begin
If you said yes to any of the above -- this class is for you.
Starting solid foods is a fun and exciting milestone that can bring a lot of anxiety, nervousness and overwhelm
But it doesn't have to feel that way!
Navigating solid foods with your little one can be easy and inside this class I’ll show you how exactly to get started
Starting solids is nutritionally important for your baby but it's a delicate balance of solids + breastmilk to ensure your supply doesn't drop too soon.
✔️ I'll show you how to manage your milk supply and balance it with a change in your day-to-day life so that it doesn't drop.
✔️ I'll teach you more than just the signs your baby is ready. You'll learn how to do baby-led weaning and purees, how to introduce allergens, what kind of high chair you need and so much more beyond how to maintain your supply.
