Food before one is NOT just for fun! Another milestone, another load of information to sift through and "digest". (we're so punny!) There is lots to know and consider when offering baby food in that first year. The foods, textures and how they are offered greatly affect their speech, fine motor skills, social skills, sensory awareness/processing as well as developing good eating habits.... This informative workshop will set you up with a plan and strategies to get your family started on the right foot when introducing solids. Ease your fears and concerns by asking all of your questions and feel confident taking this next step in your little one’s life. Baby’s first food is not just about nutrition and this workshop has it covered! This workshop includes a workbook for you to download.
