Starting solids is a huge milestone
It is recommended to start solids around 4-6 months depending on your baby’s readiness. Our dietitian can help suggest which foods to start and help develop a sample meal plan to optimize key nutrients.
For common allergens, it is recommended to start offering them around 6 months, or earlier if there is family history of allergies. Our dietitian will guide you on which allergen foods to start, and how to safely introduce them.
Recently diagnosed with CMPA or a food allergy?
Our dietitian has experience navigating these allergies and can offer meal ideas to ensure your little one is getting all the proper nutrients to grow.
CMPA may require mom to follow a strict dairy- and soy-free diet. Speak with our dietitian for some guidance around this temporary diet.
Work with a nutrition expert on strategies that work for you and your family lifestyle.
Have the support and guidance to make sure you and your family’s wellbeing are taken care of. We acknowledge that every family is different and what works for some may not work for you. Our individual counselling allows you to focus on what’s important for you and your family.
