Are you curious about what kind of content we have in our Starting Solids course?

We have loaded the course with everything you need to know to get your baby transitioning to solid foods! This video is a snippet from one of the recipe videos!

The course has 5 lessons.

Each lesson has a video of me chatting with Dani + Whit from @happyhealthylittles about the topics of that section.

Then lessons 2-4 also have videos of me in the kitchen teaching you more about the food you’ll make for your baby.

Every lesson has PDF downloads to supplement the info from the videos and provide all the details you need to know.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Our course is step-by-step guide to help you intro

Our course is step-by-step guide to help you introduce solids in a gut friendly and an age and developmentally appropriate way.

We tell you what to introduce and when and we teach you along the way so you understand your baby’s development.

It’s basically everything you need to know from introducing at about 6 months through your baby’s 1st birthday!

The course includes 12 videos.

6 of the videos are me sitting down with the nutrition consultants we partnered with discussing various topics about gut health, troubleshooting tummy issues, etc.

The other 6 videos are in the kitchen with me doing recipe tutorials and sharing tips for meal planning and prepping and logistics of introducing solids.

Then, there are about 20 pdf printable documents as well with extra info on baby gut health, supplementation, recipes, troubleshooting issues that come up, weaning if you’re breastfeeding, what to expect if you’re formula feeding, introducing water, introducing potential allergens, etc.

It’s the most comprehensive guide! And as of right now there is lifetime access. At some point in the future we might have to put a limitation on that, but say you had another baby in a couple years, you could just email us and we’d reactivate your account if we had to limit our number of members for some reason.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I hear this often. “Something doesn’t feel right about baby led weaning, but I don’t know what else to do.”

I know. I get it. Baby led weaning everything is pretty much all you hear about in the baby feeding space currently. It’s a trend. It’s catchy. AND…it’s convenient. I think that is what makes is so popular.

I’ll just be over here though in my tiny corner of the internet, not loving baby led weaning and trying to educate you all about a better way.

Purees are where it is at my friends.

When you first introduce solids to your baby, their digestive system isn’t ready for fully formed solid foods. It’s just not.

Enter purees. The best, most nutrient dense and gut friendly way to start your baby on solid foods.

Where should you start with purees?! Great question. Highly digestible veggies and bone broth are a great first puree for baby. Winter squash is our preferred introductory veggie.

Butternut squash is loved by pretty much every baby. I haven’t heard of one yet that didn’t like it.

Move on from there to add in protein and fat and your baby is going to be getting the building blocks for the growth and development they need.

And it’s not forever. I promise. You really only need to focus on purees for about 3 months, until your baby is 9 months old. That is when we recommend starting easy to digest finger foods.

So, 3-ish months depending when you start. You can totally do it!
