(oh, and we'll take care of the picky eating too!)
You're worried about what foods and how to introduce solids to your baby, and maybe have some fear around gagging and choking.
If you are ready to feel confident in your baby's feeding...
Have no fear, I am here!
Let me guess....
You’re here because you want the best for your baby, and you want the confidence and support to trust your instinct!
You’re here because you want the best for your baby, and you want the confidence and support to trust your instinct!
But perhaps you are....
Feeling a little overwhelmed with the idea of introducing solids to your baby?
Not sure whether to start at 4, 5, or 6 months?
Perhaps you are questioning whether to do purees or baby-led weaning?
- The fear of gagging and choking makes you a bit anxious?
- Your older baby or toddler seems to have a limited amount of foods they will actually eat and you are unsure if they are getting the proper nutrition or if there is something more going on with possible picky eating.
If you answered yes to any of these, you're likely feeling a little overwhelmed… (Okay, maybe a lot)
You may have started googling on baby-led weaning, or perhaps asking in the various Facebook mom groups.... and if you're anything like me, that got has led to more confusion and overwhelm ..... and perhaps even more anxiety.
Or maybe you are thinking, how hard can it really be? You just give baby the food and they will eat it....right?
Well, yes, sometimes it does work that easily, but most of the time there is a bit of a learning curve for both you and your baby!
I see you, I hear you... I was you!
I was also confused and had those same fears, even though I had the experience and knowledge from various feeding courses and my work as a pediatric occupational therapist!
I remember the fear of my baby choking, and that nervousness I felt as I sat next to his high chair, just waiting to jump into action should he start choking. And literally every time there was a gag, a cough, or bulging eyes, it felt like my heart was jumping out of my chest.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Q: What ages is this course for?
This course was designed for babies 6-18 months old. However, feel free to purchase this course earlier (to get yourself prepared for the intro to solids phase) or later (if you need some help with picky eating for your older child).
Q: I have other questions, how can I get answers?
Email kaili@kailiets.com with *Intro To Solids Question* in the subject line.
Q: I know you are a former occupational therapist, does this mean this course is only for those babies with developmental delays?
Nope! This course is for all parents, whether you have a typically developing baby or one that might have some delays or even medical conditions. This membership will be teaching you all about biologically NORMAL development in terms of feeding, and we will dive into picky eating and problem feeding, so you will have some idea of what 'red flags' to look for in order to get more specialized assistance, should there be a larger feeding issue/delay present. There is no 'therapy' involved and I will always refer you to the appropriate healthcare professionals as needed.
