Does the thought of starting solids with your little one send you into the depths of anxiety?

Do you stress that they will choke on their food and you won't know what to do?

Have you considered sitting outside the emergency department when you first introduce food groups to your child, just in case they have a reaction?

DITCH. THE. FEAR.

 

At Safe Sprouts, we believe starting solids should be one of the most special milestones in your parenting journey, not something that should be feared.

Join us for our Starting Solids workshop, where we'll guide you through some of your biggest fears surrounding the introducing solid foods to your baby.
