We love our first week and really hit the ground running with all sorts of interesting and amazing information shared. This week we talk about when your baby is ready to start their feeding journey and things we REALLY think you should know. We share with you the importance of your baby's microbiome and all the ways it can be impacted (for better or worse). We take a peek at their digestion and explain how immunity works, and ways in which to protect and build it (did you know 70- 80% of the immune system lies in the gut). Finally, we get very real about the food choices that will provide optimal nutrition for your baby, and give you AMAZING resources to support you - wherever you are on your journey.

This week we bring to you the wonderful world of fats, protein, bone broth and eggs. We fill your minds with all the reasons these things need to be in your baby's diet, from what age and in what quantities. We also fill your hearts, with the confidence you need to bring this information to life - through the many practical step by step kitchen demonstrations. It's certainly a week of getting into the kitchen and putting  'practice' into action. A beautiful week for you to understand the difference these things make in a little ones life and the difference you too, can make by including them.

Much of this week focuses on carbohydrates. We go through it all - fruit, veg, grains (throw in some nuts & seeds) and legumes. We highlight what foods require caution and give you our favourites for building a robust microbiome. In addition, we look at dairy - the pros, cons, 'science' and most notably the practical introduction of it into bub's diet (that's what we're all here for right)? We of course spend time in the kitchen, demonstrating preparation techniques and excitingly finish off the week with a fermentation 'kitchen show and tell'.

In our last week we take you through a few of the 'what ifs'. What if my little one encounters an allergy or a food intolerance? What if there are feeding issues? We show you how to navigate around these and talk about great people and tools to have on your team throughout these times. We also take you out of the kitchen and into the supermarket, dispelling myths and helping you make good choices when it comes to needing some convenience. We use this week to highlight ways in which you can create a real loving relationship between your children and food - this relies heavily on a component of psychology and play (commonly overlooked). Lastly, we bring it all 'to the table' by covering the real practicalities of making it all happen.  As a final week highlight- we are joined by Tracey and Jo from Additive Free Lifestyle AND Chaya Tidd - Feeding Therapist from Seeds Nutrition in some very 'eye opening' interviews. 

Our bonus modules are unlike anything you have seen. They are sweetly wrapped bundles of expertise. The supplement module tells you what to look for that might indicate your little one needs some extra support. It details the times we recommend supplementation and tells you our favourite ones. It's a great one to have in your back pocket and visit as and when you need - it's pretty much your personal naturopathic consult. The healthy homes module is definitely one you want to look at the moment you have some spare time (yeah like that really exists). It's a real eye opener if you haven't ever considered environmental toxins before. It's full of amazing resources that help connect you to the lowest toxic versions of all things to do with baby - from nappies to cooking utensils. It's one not to be missed.

A Super Solid Start maps your baby's eating journey from 6 months through to around 3 years of age, although the principles and skills gained within the course provide a solid guide for a lifetime of optimal nutrition. So, if you are out there wondering how you are going to start feeding your baby solids, with a focus on nutrition – then this course is for YOU. Or maybe you have been there, done that but found it didn’t work and are looking for a better way the next time around – then this course is for YOU too.   

The decision on WHEN to undertake the course is entirely up to you. We have had many participants say that the second or third trimester of pregnancy was ideal as that gave them plenty of time to digest the information and mentally prepare for their journey ahead.  And all of this group said that the bonus Healthy Homes lesson was both eye opening and lifesaving as it gave them direct resource channels to ensure that all their ‘baby’ purchases were safe for their little one. Other participants found that around the time bub was 3-5 months of age (and hopefully nicely settled into their earthside arrival), was when they were more motivated to learn about the feeding journey.  The decision is entirely yours – and just remember – if you purchase early and find the timing didn’t quite fit (we appreciate pregnancy can sometimes bring unexpected challenges) – its no biggie – because you have 12 months access and can try again later.  

We know all too well that flexibility and freedom are really important at this time in your life – which is why we have designed the course to run over 5 weeks. Once the course begins, you will receive access to your first week’s lessons. Access to all future lessons will be granted at the beginning of each of the following four weeks. Doing it this way, allows you time to digest the information and put into practice what you have learnt, without the overwhelm.  If you find that some weeks you aren't getting to watch all the lessons, don't worry because they will still be there in the course hub, waiting for you when you are ready.

Any bonus modules are there for you to access at any time on your journey, once the course opens. 

Once you’ve signed up, there’s nothing else you need to do. We will remind you when the course is about to start. Once you have completed each of the week’s lessons, you will be invited to fill in your private personal action plan to keep track of the things that you just can't wait to get started on. 

You will have a full 12 months access from the date the course begins. This will ensure that no matter where you are in your parenthood journey, you will have all the information at the right time. All the resources, recipes, and workbooks are able to be downloaded so they stay with you for a lifetime. 

If you are a vegetarian, there is a lot of valuable information you will gain from this course. However, in the interests of transparency, this course does support the consumption of regeneratively farmed meat as a critical nutritional need for growing children, in addition to other animal produce recommendations. As such, it’s suitability to vegans is somewhat compromised.

Whilst we don't think this will happen, we will completely understand if it does. We offer a 7 day money back guarantee. So if you find it doesn't suit you, let us know and we will refund your money. 

Of course, you can! We couldn’t think of a more wonderful, thoughtful and nurturing gift. The only thing you need to do is enter their email address on sign up to ensure they get access to the material. You might also just want to check that they do have the time and energy to dedicate to this empowered learning journey.  

Carmen and Diahann will be hosting live monthly Q and A sessions where we answer all of your questions. Outside of this, you can expect that we will be regulars in the private course community. 

If you were looking to connect further, we do offer private one on one consultations. 

If you have any technical difficulties at all, you can email [email protected] for support.  

We are huge advocates of “it takes a village”, and so we have created one. Our course community is one where people just like you come to ask questions, share stories and offer support. 

Once you sign up for the course, you’ll be able to access the content on your laptop, mobile or tablet by logging in with your username and password. Alternatively, if you have the Kajabi app, you will also be able to view the course within there.  

Now is a really good time to firstly pat yourself on the back for taking the action you need to empower yourself with the knowledge to help optimise the wellbeing of your little one. That’s no mean undertaking! Throughout this time, you might also like to contemplate exactly what it is that you’re hoping to take away from the course, and also just start to take mental note of your current food choices.
