"It was such a valuable and enjoyable experience"

I recently attended a Tasty Beginnings session, led by Susan and it was such a valuable and enjoyable experience.

The session was really well put together and covered everything new parents need to feel more confident about starting solids. We learned about the signs of readiness, how to recognise and deal with choking, the importance of different textures, and which foods are best to introduce at the start. The information on allergens was especially helpful, as it can feel overwhelming knowing when and how to introduce them safely.

One of the highlights was that the babies were able to try some foods during the session – it was lovely to see their little reactions and gave us reassurance about how to approach mealtimes at home. The atmosphere was relaxed and supportive, so it was easy to ask questions and share experiences with other parents.

At the end, we were even given a goodie bag full of useful information to help us get started.

Overall, it was an engaging, informative, and practical session that left me feeling much more confident and excited about this new stage with my baby. I’d highly recommend it to any new parent!
