Baby Weaning
Are you ready for Baby Weaning?
As a new parent the responsibility of feeding another human being may seem overwhelming at first. You’ve probably already got lots of advice from different sources, all giving differing opinions so it can feel tricky to know where to start. Also, advice about first foods has also changed since your parents gave you your first tastes of food.
Beginning solid food with your baby can be great fun, a lot of mess, and brings a new dimension to family cooking. Our weaning classes in Bristol and 1:1 Baby Weaning consultations support parents with introducing first foods.
You’ll get all the information you need to feel confident in feeding your child, and the class is run by a registered Nutritional Therapist so you can trust the content is based on the latest recommendations and research.

Weaning your baby the right way
There isn’t one right way to feed your baby, our nutrition based class will give you all the information you need to make choices that suit you and your lifestyle. We’ll give you menu ideas and recipes, as well as providing all the nutritional information you need to give your baby a balanced and healthy diet.
There is more to baby weaning then just getting food into your baby. It’s about introducing the social side of eating and enjoyment of healthy food.
We will talk about how to create nutritious family meals that you can all enjoy. All the information given follows the latest guidelines, and includes lots of opportunity to ask questions.
A pack of notes will be given to you to accompany the session, and to take away with you.
Babies are very welcome at the session. Most people bring their baby, but they aren’t required to be there, so if you want to come ‘hands free’ that’s also perfectly fine.
