baby led weaning

confident baby weaning course online

Real-food weaning made simple, so mealtimes feel calm, safe, and nourishing from day one!

what clients say about our course

This course was so much more helpful than I expected. It doesn’t just give recipes - it explains what babies actually need and why, and it clears up so many common myths. The recipes are simple to follow, and the whole guide makes the “what, when, and how” of weaning feel really manageable.
The section on gagging vs choking was especially reassuring. Overall, a clear, thorough, and confidence‑boosting course I’d happily recommend.
Navreet
I felt bewildered & overwhelmed at the thought of weaning. It was a relief to me to have a plan & that Freya & Jake had done so much reliable research, so I didn't have to! 
It was so informative & gave me the confidence to navigate that next important stage of my baby's life. 
We're a few months in now and my baby eats really well, loves all food & is thriving. It's been great to get him on the right foods from the beginning. Thank you Freya & Jake.

frequently asked questions

This course teaches a baby-led weaning approach focused on real foods and safe, soft hand-held textures. We cover how to start solids with confidence without relying on purées; occasional mashes are fine, but it’s not a purée-led plan. We explain exactly why we have this approach in the videos.

Yes. You’ll get a Recipe mini eBook plus printable guides (Build-a-Meal, Food Timeline, Allergen Plan) so you know what to serve and how to serve it when weaning your baby. The recipes will work for your whole family. 

We do. The course explains gagging vs. choking, safe shapes and textures, and practical weaning safety steps so you can start solids with calm, confident mealtimes. We also encourage you to complete a Mini First Aid course to get hands on practice. 

We align with NHS guidance on readiness cues, allergen introduction, and safety. Where we go further is a clear, real-food, baby-led framework with a strong focus on iron, protein, and nutrient density, plus step-by-step videos and printable tools to make starting solids simpler in real life.

You’ll have 9 months’ access to the videos, and all downloadable cheatsheets are yours to keep for ongoing baby weaning support.

This is an omnivorous, real-food weaning course that prioritises animal-sourced iron and protein; it’s not suitable for families planning to raise their baby vegan. If you're intending to raise a vegetarian baby you will still glean loads of helpful information. If you’re exploring plant-based weaning, please seek tailored guidance from a qualified practitioner.

our approach

Please note, this course is built around a nutrient dense, animal-food-inclusive approach to weaning (including meat, eggs, fish & dairy where appropriate). If you're strictly vegan & not open to exploring alternative viewpoints, this course is unlikely to align with your values & we wouldn't recommend it for you.

We’ll help you start solids with confidence: clear, evidence-informed steps that match what your baby’s body is expecting. You’ll learn: When and how to start weaning (grounded in physiology - not superstition or “because that’s how it’s always been”). What babies actually need for growth and brain development and what they definitely don’t! How to avoid common pitfalls, from mixed messages to mealtime battles. Reflect & reset: consider how your childhood mealtimes shaped you and what’s best left in the past. Practical setup for real life: family rhythm, batch prep, and the inevitability of food in hair, ears, and places you never knew food could go. The deeper stuff: palate training, gut health, speech development, and how food becomes connection.
