Welcome to Happy Weaning: everything you need to start solids in one place…

If weaning feels overwhelming, and you have a million questions, like - what are the best first foods for babies, can my baby share my meals, and do babies really need 100 foods before one?! I HEAR YOU!

WELL, I am on a mission to you how easy it is to make nourishing, home-cooked nutritious food which can be enjoyed by the whole family - including babies

And so I created the happy weaning series- with 500+ pages and 144 recipes- a collection of 12 guides - covering every stage of weaning from before you start right through the toddler years, packed with recipes and practical tips rooted in nutrition science!

PLUS it’s written by a (chef-trained) paediatric dietitian + a mum… So what to feed - is one less thing to worry about. 

And you can get on with the bit that actually matters.

The story behind the series…

When my daughter started weaning, I had a full-on long notes on my phone of what she had eaten. I worried whether she’d had enough to eat some days.

I am a paediatric dietitian- and even I found it HARD.

So I started researching everything and writing things down. Notes for myself at first- what order to introduce things, the best first foods, which recipes worked, does baby-led weaning really make a difference?

Those notes turned into guides. And those guides turned into the Happy Weaning Series.

“Food before one is just for fun….” You’ve probably heard this phrase- but is it TRUE? 

Not really! 

Yes, milk (breast or formula) is still super important in the first year. BUT food is more than just fun- it’s essential for:

  • Key nutrients for growth and development (iron, zinc, protein, omega-3 and more!) - we know that adequate supply of micronutrients during the first 1000 days is essential for normal development and healthy life.

  • Oral motor skills acquisition (learning to chew + swallow safely)

  • Texture progression (to prevent fussy eating later- studies show this!)

  • Allergen prevention

If you are worried about how much your baby is eating - or if they aren’t taking to solids/textures at all by 9 months - book to see me in my online clinic and get support now to feed your baby with confidence
