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.

Having so much anxiety around eating with my first born I did everything possible to make sure he was safe and eating correctly. The Introducing solids course helped me be calm and not panic while my son started solids, it also helped me teach the family members around us on what is okay or not. 100% recommend new parents to do this course!
