Starting solids, from spoons to fingers
(Upon request)
Description
The weaning period (moving to solids) is a crucial time in your baby's development, not only because it means that he/she has to learn how to eat, but also the first experiences with food have an influence in: i) the relationship that the baby will have with food in the future, and ii) the development of food preferences, eating behaviors and bodyweight in your baby´s childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Starting solids with purées have been the most common approach to feeding babies, foods served are typically puréed or mashed, where the parent is in total control (spoon feeding). Babies who are spoon-fed should be given the opportunity to eat on their own, with their fingers, by 9 months old (at which point you can transition away from spoon-feeding). In this course you will be given all the information you need about this approach, so you can feel confident giving food to your baby. Course content - Complementary feeding: important things to know. - The signs when your baby is ready to start solids. - How to introduce solids: Foods to start and how to prepare them. - When moving from purées to finger food. - How to approach allergenic foods based on latest research. - Foods to avoid for health and safety reasons. - How to choose a high chair and different accesories. - First aid: Signs of choking and what to do (Heimlich Maneuver). Duration - 3 hours (theory and practice). Includes a handout with a baby food introduction chart, weekly meal planner and some tips. THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE SCHEDULE UPON REQUEST.
