Introducing Solids Course
Do you want to learn choking first aid?
If you have never taken a child-specific first aid course, we recommend enrolling in the Baby & Child First Aid & Introducing Solids courses together. This way, you can learn about starting solids while also being trained in first aid for situations that may arise when introducing solids, such as choking treatment, CPR, burns from hot food or cooking, and falls from highchairs.

Informative. General information on starting solids that you will be able to find online but nice to have it consolidated in one play in bite size videos. Makes it easy for mom that are time poor.

I purchased this course prior to starting my 6 month old on solids as I was so nervous about starting solids, particularly around choking and allergens. This course not only walked you through how to start solids and how to choose a method that works best for you, it also went into depth on choking, choking hazards and how to reduce the risk of choking and all aspects of allergens. This gave me the confidence to start the solids journey with my baby. Thank you for making this journey a less stressful one!
