Our Story
Welcome to Starting Solids Australia! I’m Jeanette, Accredited Practicing Dietitian, mum of 3, and the proud founder of this beautiful community. After witnessing the confusion many new parents face due to the overwhelming misinformation on social media, I felt compelled to create a safe haven—a place where families can turn for trustworthy, compassionate advice.

Our mission is to support you in discovering what works best for your family, creating a joyful mealtime experience that fosters positive connections with food. Together, we’ll explore flexible strategies that respect your baby’s cues and preferences, ensuring that every meal is a step toward building lifelong healthy habits.

Wean your baby their way! We understand that feeding your little one is a deeply personal journey, and it doesn’t have to be confined to labels like BLW or traditional weaning. We’re here to support you with general principles that guide your approach to meals, helping you communicate positively about food and nurture your child’s natural curiosity.
