Starting Solids, Made Simple

An OT-informed guide for calm, confident first meals

Starting solids is exciting — and it can also feel confusing, stressful, and full of second-guessing. This guide was created to help you feel informed, supported, and confident as you introduce food to your baby, without piecing together advice from a dozen different sources.

Created by a Maternal Health Occupational Therapist and mom of three, this 12-page digital guide walks you through starting solids in a way that prioritizes safety, development, and connection — not perfection.

Inside, you’ll find:
• Signs of readiness (beyond just age)
• How to reduce choking risk with positioning and setup
• Purees, baby-led weaning, and how to blend both
• Tools and utensils that truly support development
• Tips for oral exploration, regulation, and messy learning

This guide is for parents who want to start solids feeling calm and prepared, knowing they’re supporting their baby’s development while also trusting their own instincts.

Simple. Supportive. Real-life.
Because starting solids doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.
