Evidence-based + practical nutritional advice to equip you with the skills to confidently feed your little one from the start.

Are you ready to feed your baby with confidence, and to nourish them safely with tasty and nutritious meals?
Why my approach
Your baby doesn’t need a hundred different foods or daily food ‘milestones’. They need nourishing meals built around the nutrients that matter most-like iron, zinc, calcium, and omega-3s-alongside age-appropriate textures and flavours that help them develop key feeding skills
The first year of life 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. But, 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
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
How my workshops can help
Guided by current nutrition research and shaped by years of experience supporting families with weaning through my NHS work and through private work. These workshops are designed carefully to equip you with everything you need to feel confident starting your little one on a journey to enjoying their food and maximising nutrition in the first year of life

My dietitian-designed workshop promotes the inclusion of key nutrients for weaning age babies. The focus is on energy and nutrient dense whole foods, including both plant-based eating options, and meat and fish
