Baby's First Solid Foods @ Online
29 October, 10:00-11:00 @ Online
The introduction of solid foods is a window of opportunity to grow a healthy nutritional foundation for your baby. This is also a very vulnerable period for parents, as many questions, methods, and opinions arise.
When and how do I introduce solids?
What are the advantages of purees?
Why choose ‘baby-led weaning’ (Rapley method)? What and how much should my baby eat?
And what about food allergies, gut health and introduction schedules?
In this talk, registered family dietitian Sofie will give you an idea of what to expect from your baby’s eating behavior and the role of solid foods throughout the first year of life, followed by an interactive Q&A.
Sofie De Niet (sofiedeniet.be) is a Brussels-based family dietitian for multi-cultural families. Sofie wants to support your family’s eating patterns without nurturing diet culture.
