<h2>About the workshop</h2>This workshop is for parents with a baby aged 4 to 6 months. You can get information and tips on how to start your baby on solid foods, and professionals will answer any questions you may have.The first time a baby eats solid foods is a new chapter in your baby’s life and can be both exciting and a little scary. The good thing is that if you wait until your baby shows that they are ready, it will be much easier for you and them. Every baby learns key skills in the same order, but at their own unique pace, so it is important not to compare your baby with another. To begin with, it is more about babies exploring the feel and taste of food, rather than about the amount they eat. In the first year, they will still get most of their nutrients from breastmilk or first infant formula as they are learning to take solid food.<h2>Useful websites:</h2><a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://directory.islington.gov.uk/kb5/islington/directory/advice.page?id=m_qAWsQCYP4">Find Your Islington&nbsp;|&nbsp;Starting Solid Food</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.firststepsnutrition.org/">First Steps Nutrition Trust</a><a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nhs.uk/best-start-in-life/baby/weaning/">Weaning - Best Start in Life - NHS</a><a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nhs.uk/best-start-in-life/baby/recipes-and-meal-ideas/">Recipes and meal ideas - Best Start in Life - NHS</a><h2>Please note:</h2>The London Borough of Islington is the Data Controller for this form and the collected responses.
