Baby Weaning

Baby Weaning session – Giving First Foods to your Baby

Good eaters aren’t born, they’re raised. Solid food gives babies the nutrients they need to grow and develop as they get older. Chewing solids also helps your baby’s speech muscles develop. Eating solids is important for baby’s social development too, as they start to eat the same foods as the rest of your family.

The Goals of our Baby Weaning session is to:

To lay a solid foundation for your child’s health.
To create healthy family habits that will extend on to your child and eventually their children.
To play a role in making future generations smart and successful through good nutrition.
Because it is very difficult to reverse habits, it is much easier to prevent them!
Because it is difficult as an adult to deal with weight related health and body image issues, that is a lot of pressure for a child.
