Food before 1 is SO MUCH MORE than just for fun! Introducing baby to solid foods can be both exciting and overwhelming. The early months of feeding set the tone for your baby's lifelong relationship with food and are critical for shaping food preferences and ensuring baby is receiving key nutrients for growth. If you have a baby under the age of 1 or a baby on the way, this toolkit is for you!
We know introducing baby to solid foods can be nerve-wracking, and there's so much conflicting information out there about the "right" way to do it. Let us clear things up for you with this all-inclusive toolkit so you can start solids with confidence!
Topics include:
- How to know when your baby is ready to start solids
- Choosing the feeding style that's right for your family (purees, baby-led weaning, or a combination approach)
- How to establish a positive feeding environment
- Setting yourself up for success (essential supplies to navigate this new milestone with ease)
- Our top starter foods (16 foods we love for baby, why we love them, and how to serve them)
- Building a balanced plate (how to ensure baby gets all of the key nutrients they need to thrive)
- How and when to advance textures so you don't get stuck on purees
- Food safety (conquer your fear of choking through education)
- How and when to introduce food allergens
- And more!
