Starting Solids with Your Baby
Starting solids can feel overwhelming—what to serve, when to serve it, and how to know if your baby is truly ready. Add in the constant advice from friends, family, and the internet, and it’s easy to feel stuck instead of supported. That’s where my signature program, Fueling Future Foodies, comes in.
This 12-week experience gives you the tools, structure, and confidence to guide your baby through the earliest stages of eating. Think of it as your roadmap for:
- Knowing exactly when and how to start solids
- Exploring feeding methods like BLW and spoon-feeding with confidence and compassion
- Building a positive mealtime environment
- Supporting your baby’s growth with foods that pack the biggest nutritional benefit
- Creating a feeding routine that works for your family
Parents love that the program is both educational and practical, combining easy-to-understand lessons with real-world examples that can be used right away. And because it’s designed with busy families in mind, it keeps things simple, clear, and doable.

Learn about Baby-Led Weaning!
Baby-led Weaning (BLW) is a method that has been gaining popularity as an alternative to traditional spoon-feeding. It is proven to be a safe way to introduce solids. The advantages of using BLW are amazing. They include the development of motor skills, self-regulation of appetite, participation in family meal time, improved oral motor skills and chewing, reduction in selective (picky) eating habits, and ease of feeding. Best of all, my favorite is increased diet diversity!!
Baby-Led Weaning helps you create happy, confident, and adventurous eaters from the start.
Not sure BLW is for you? I can discuss the pros and cons with you. And if you choose, I can instruct you on traditional spoon feeding as well.
