Porter Nutrition: Online Weaning Course (traditional and baby led weaning)
Who is the First Foods Course for?
Parents with a baby under six months who want to give their baby the best start to solid foods. Parents who want to have confidence they are laying good foundations for their baby’s health.
What does the course cover?
- Establishing a positive food environment – some psychology to help with parenting
- Signs your baby is ready for solids
- Baby led vs traditional weaning
- First weaning foods
- What your child needs whilst they are under 2
- Food safety and hygiene
- Equipment you might need
- Pre-prepared foods
- Moving onto a toddler diet and beyond
- Portion sizes
- Healthy snacks
- Preventing and dealing with fussy eating

How many sessions is it?
Three 90 minute sessions. Why so many? Because there is actually a lot to learn and I want to give you time to be able to practise what we talk about. I also want to give time for questions.
How much is the investment?
I call it an investment because that’s what it is! An investment in your baby’s future. An investment in your baby’s health. An investment in your family mealtime dynamics.
It’s £50 per parent for the course. This course is subsidised. Similar courses would be three times the price or more
All attendees free access to a private Facebook group to be able to ask questions beyond the sessions.
I can also provide this course for groups in people's homes in the south Manchester area. Minimum five adults. Or I can provide courses for smaller groups. Please enquire about prices.
