Episode 30: Weaning & Nutrition
Weaning is a huge milestone for babies as they move from a liquid, milk diet to eating solid foods. We know that breast and formula milk contain everything baby needs to grow and thrive, but when that milk consumption drops and food takes over, what nutrients do children or little ones need and how can we make sure that they're going to get enough of them?
Today we chat with Aliya Porter, a Registered Nutritionist and a mum of three who runs Porter Nutrition and Weaning Centre. We discuss how to give your baby the best nutritional start and also how to help create lifelong good habits when it comes to diet and nutrition.
If you are about to start weaning or you are already there, you will find this conversation incredibly helpful and reassuring.
Porter Nutrition and Weaning Centre and offers you the opportunity to have support to eat healthily around your busy schedule and on a budget that suits you. Check out all the resources and services on offer at Porter Nutrition (for over 5s and adults) here and for everything relating to weaning and under 5s, check out Aliya’s Weaning Centre website here
