Starting solids soon - Go see Cushla!
Cushla was incredibly reassuring, calm, and knowledgeable. And just when my tired mum brain needed it most, I came home to a detailed follow-up email and a beautifully put-together downloadable guide.
Starting Solids Workshop with a Nutritionist | Jujuba Caloundra
Jujuba Indoor Play & Cafe
Caloundra QLD, Australia
Description
You've read the articles. You've watched the reels. You've asked in the mum group. And now you're more confused than when you started.
Do you start with purees or baby led? Is rice cereal my only option? What about allergens, iron, choking, salt? Everyone has an opinion, and most of it contradicts.
This workshop is where the noise stops.
In one hour, I'll walk you through exactly how to start solids, grounded in the latest evidence and shaped by real life with a baby. You'll leave knowing what to offer first, how to offer it safely, what to watch for, and what simply doesn't matter. No fear, no rigid rules, no overwhelm. All while your little ones can play for free at Jujuba Indoor Play & Cafe.

I can't recommend her highly enough!
Cushla came to speak recently. The mums not only LOVE her clear and helpful content but they also appreciate her down to earth and practical approach that just puts you at ease.
Loved seeing how bub can drink from cups
The workshop was very informative and was definitely the reassurance I needed to start solids with my little one with really easy tips that were great to ask questions about face-to-face.
