'Starting Solids' class in Southfields tomorrow (12th February)from10.00am to midday. Led by midwife Vicki Scott at her home-bring baby with you-plenty of space to feed/look after your baby.
Starting Solids is for mothers (or fathers!) of babies aged 4-7 months, and covers the theory of baby feeding, practical demonstration and is packed full of ideas on what to offer your baby and when to get your baby off to a great start.
This interactive session introduces you and your baby to the world of proper food!
When to start? What to give your baby, and at which feeds? These questions and many more will be answered in a session which is part theory and discussion and part demonstration of home made and shop bought foods.
A pack of notes will be given to you to accompany the session, and to take away with you-so no need to take notes. Our approach is traditional, with elements of 'baby-led weaning'. Starting off with easy to digest, pureed foods, introducing finger foods then moving on to mashed up versions of family meals.
