Best Foods For Baby Workshop

September 1, 2022

Learn about first foods for babies and baby-led weaning

Workshop Description:

Join nutritionist Megan Sanctuary in learning about the best first foods to feed your baby.

During this workshop, you will learn how to make infant custard from raw milk, cream, egg yolks, blackstrap molasses (or banana), and vanilla.

As we bake, we will discuss how to know if your baby is ready for solid foods, the most nutrient-rich foods for early weaning, best practices for introducing new foods to baby, how to recognize and adjust for allergies and intolerances, how to implement baby-led weaning, and how to prepare foods for your baby at various stages of development. Never buy baby food again!

Bring your weaning infant to practice baby-led weaning strategies and taste some new foods!
