starting solids

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

- m ilk feeds

- d rinking with meals

- gagging and choking

The 'talk' itself won't go on for 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 'Why Starting Solids Matters' by Amy Brown and the 'Baby-led Weaning' book by Jill Rapley and Tracey Murkett. Copies of these book will be available to borrow, after the session. If you do wish to borrow one, you'll just 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.
