About the Programme

Starting solids is a big milestone, and it's natural not to know exactly where to begin. Led by Lorena Maré, our Lead Paediatric Occupational Therapist with over 13 years of international clinical experience across the UK and Hong Kong, this four-session programme gives you clear, practical guidance to introduce solids with confidence.

What parents can expect

Four weekly sessions to help you confidently introduce solids, respond to your baby’s cues and create positive mealtimes that support healthy development beyond the first year.
