Starting Solids Consultation in Tucson & Southern Arizona
A starting solids consultation helps families confidently navigate their baby's transition from an all-milk diet to complementary foods. Whether you're considering baby-led weaning, traditional purées, or a combination of both, we'll create a personalized feeding plan based on your baby's developmental readiness, nutritional needs, and your family's goals.
What to Expect:
Starting Solids consultations typically last 60–90 minutes and provide individualized, evidence-based infant feeding guidance to help you feel confident introducing solid foods. Together, we'll discuss signs of readiness, choosing appropriate first foods, allergen introduction, meal progression, choking prevention versus gagging, and how to continue supporting breastfeeding while introducing solids. You'll leave with practical strategies and the confidence to make mealtimes enjoyable and stress-free.
