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 team of health professionals  are dedicated to demystifying the process of starting solids. We offer a variety of educational resources tailored to fit every family's needs, so you can choose what works best for you and your little one. Plus, with our complete range of thoughtfully designed feeding supplies available in our online store, we aim to make mealtime easier and more enjoyable for both parents and children.

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.

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.

Our mission is to empower you to make choices that resonate with you and your family, fostering confident, intuitive eaters who feel good in their bodies. Together, we’ll navigate this beautiful journey of feeding, ensuring you feel supported and confident every step of the way!
