This class works to provide answers about infant feeding, introducing solids and textures, and establishing a healthy feeding relationship. Dietitians answer questions and show parents how to make their own baby food using a variety of kitchen tools; like hand mixers, food mills and food processors. Parents learn how to prepare vegetables, fruits, meats, meat alternatives, infant cereals. This class works to answer questions about:
- infant feeding
- introducing solids and textures
- establishing a healthy feeding relationship
The two hour workshop ends with a taste test to compare store-bought baby foods and homemade baby foods for taste and texture, highlighting why babies need to start on high-iron foods at six months, and why introducing different food textures is important. Parents are encouraged to bring babies to the class, which focuses on creating a positive feeding relationship.
