Introducing solids support services
Starting solids is an important developmental step for your baby and a completely new experience for many families. Alongside curiosity and excitement, uncertainties often arise, as there are many different opinions, approaches, and pieces of advice surrounding complementary feeding.
At Tiny Steps Together, I support you in finding your own path. You receive responsive, evidence-based information that gives you confidence and helps you approach starting solids in a relaxed, mindful, and practical way — whether you are just beginning or have already gained some first experiences.
I also offer preparation sessions for starting solids. In a calm and trusting atmosphere, we talk about readiness for complementary feeding, different approaches to introducing solids, and your individual questions, so you can begin this new stage feeling well prepared and confident.
