Welcome to the Happy Weaning Hub
Are you ready to feed your baby with confidence, and to nourish them safely with tasty and nutritious meals?
Starting solids doesn’t have to mean endless sweet tasting, fruit purées or rushing to tick off 100 foods before your baby’s first birthday. Here, I take a different approach- one rooted in nutrition science, not in trends
My focus is on nutrient density, not just variety for variety’s sake. That means thoughtfully chosen, flavourful foods that support your baby’s growth and development- without overwhelming you or your little one. From purées to finger foods- all weaning approaches are supported here.
Through my guides I will teach you how to nourish your baby throughout their first year of life to support healthy development and reduce the risk of fussy eating and nutrition deficiencies like iron, vitamin D and essential fats! The focus is on a natural approach to weaning, with fresh home-cooked meals which are designed by a nutritionist - with a chefs training ;)

What your baby really needs in the first year
TASTE DEVELOPMENT
The first year is a sensitive window for taste development, which means the flavours you offer now can shape your baby’s food preferences for years to come.
EXPOSURE
It’s not about cramming everything in before their first birthday- it’s about gently offering variety, especially savoury and bitter flavours, and building confidence through repeated exposure
SKILLS
We also know that babies need opportunities to learn how to chew, manage textures, and self-feed. Introducing appropriate finger foods and textured meals- ideally before 9–10 months helps support those critical oral and fine motor skills
