Starting solids is one of the biggest (and most exciting) milestones of your baby's first year — and it comes with a lot of questions. That's why we're teaming up with certified practicing nutritionist Kelly Suggate for a free Instagram Live all about starting solids, weaning methods, and setting your baby up with a positive relationship with food from day one.
📅 Friday 18th September, 10am
📍 Live on Instagram @beabaanz
What we'll cover
- Your weaning and starting solids questions, answered live
- A live cooking demo using the Babycook® Neo
- What your baby actually needs nutritionally, and how to start introducing new foods with confidence

Everyone who joins gets a free guide
Every parent who registers for the Live will receive Kelly's complete Starting Solids Guide — a practical, evidence-based resource covering:

- Choosing between baby-led weaning, purees, or a combination approach — and which might suit your family
- How to safely prepare purees and finger foods as your baby's textures progress
- The difference between normal gagging and true choking, and what to do in each case
- Priority first foods for iron and healthy fats
- A step-by-step allergen introduction schedule aligned with current ASCIA guidelines
