Description

Start solids feeling calm, confident and clear on what actually matters.

If your baby is getting close to solids, there’s a good chance you’ve already gone down the rabbit hole.

  • Purees or baby-led?

  • Rice cereal or skip it?

  • How do you offer iron-rich foods?

  • When do allergens come in?

  • What’s normal gagging and what’s a choking risk?

  • And how much of this do you really need to worry about?

You read one thing, hear another in a mums’ group, then see a reel that says the opposite.

It’s a lot.

This live online workshop will give you a clear, evidence-based way to start solids, without the panic, the rigid rules or the overwhelm.

In one hour, I’ll walk you through what to do in those first weeks, including:

  • What foods to start with and beyond - including meal ideas

  • How to include iron from the beginning

  • Purees, finger foods and finding an approach that works for you

  • How to introduce common allergens safely

  • Gagging, choking and what you actually need to know

  • Textures, meal frequency, water, cups, equipment, salt and the common questions that come up early on

  • Reading labels

  • Minimising fussy and picky eating into the toddler years

You’ll leave knowing what to offer, how to offer it, and what you can stop stressing about.

I’m Cushla, a qualified nutritionist and mum of three. My youngest is 7 months, so I’m right back in the starting solids stage myself. I’ve been through it three times as a mum, and I’ve studied the evidence behind it too.

This is the workshop I wish I’d had with my first baby.

The session runs live on Zoom, so you can join from home, baby on your lap, camera off if needed. It’s a relaxed, informal morning session, and babies are very welcome to be there with you. My own little girl will be joining me too.

There’ll also be time for Q&A at the end, so you can ask about your baby and your questions.

Your ticket includes:

  • The 1-hour live online workshop

  • Live Q&A

  • My 50-page Starting Solids Confidently guide, emailed after the session, valued at $25

  • Access to the workshop replay for 7 days after the event, Q&A not included

$39 per household

This workshop is for you if:

  • Your baby is around 4 to 8 months, or you want to feel prepared before you begin

  • You want practical, evidence-based guidance without the conflicting advice

  • You want to feel confident when your baby reaches the high chair

Can’t make it live?

You’ll still receive the workshop replay to watch within 7 days. The live session is the best option if you’d like to ask questions specific to your baby.

Testimonials

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Julie Bub Bump & Beyond
  • 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.
