information SERVICE DETAILS

Introducing your baby to solid foods can be a very exciting time but you'll also probably have lots of questions. We'll help you decide when the time is right, how you want to go about it and what to expect. Join a live, online and interactive small-group workshop that will be tailored to answer your questions.

Introducing solid foods

Moving on to solid foods is a big moment in your baby’s development. But with so much advice and so many methods out there, it can be tricky to know how to go about it.

Our online Introducing Solid Foods workshops are 100% live and interactive, to give you all the information you need to make decisions that work for you. Babies are always welcome and we understand that they sometimes need you and will work around this and catch you up on anything you miss. We are here to make sure every parent comes away from our workshops feeling confident about feeding their baby.

- Workshop is fully live and interactive (no pre-records)
- £35 for a two-hour session in a small group
- Led by an experienced NCT practitioner
- Content to cover all feeding options and answer your questions

What you’ll learn

Baby eating

When to move onto solid foods

Experts recommend waiting six months to give your baby solid foods. We’ll discuss the evidence around this with you, how to spot signs your baby is ready for solids and the risks of giving your baby solid food earlier.

Baby-led weaning

Different feeding approaches

From baby-led weaning to traditional spoon-feeding, we’ll talk about all your options. We’ll discuss when and how to give fewer milk feeds, and make sure you’ve got all the important info you need to make your choice.

Baby eating

All about feeding

We want you to feel confident feeding your baby. So you will explore when and what to feed your baby, including thinking about meal and menu planning. This way you’ll come away from the online workshop reassured that you know what is best for your baby.
