Are you getting ready to introduce solids to your little one?

Join Rachel to guide you through introducing solids to your little one. Throughout the class Rachel will guide you, step by step, toward establishing a nourishing relationship with your child. Students will learn about key nutrients for your baby’s development, what foods to select at each age, and the strategies for how to feed your growing child. The class will review several popular approaches for starting babies on the journey to solids, from purees to baby-led weaning, and help calm any of your feeding fears. You will leave class ready and excited to start or continue the food and nutrition journey with your little one. Babies in arms welcome! Classes currently only offered in San Diego or online.

Peaceful Mealtimes

Raising a toddler can be thrilling, frustrating, and confusing, including their increased independence and newfound preferences for foods, drink, and attention! Registered dietitian and pediatric feeding expert Rachel Rothman, MS, RD, CLEC will discuss what you can expect when it comes to meeting your toddler’s dietary and social needs at mealtime, and teach you proven strategies for managing toddler feeding behaviors and challenges. Rachel’s strategies will stick with you as you form a partnership with your children surrounding food, and teach your child to have a healthy relationship with food from an early age. You’ll leave class with the tools to turn mealtime frustrations into peaceful, productive family time. It is recommended parents attend the class without children.

Testimonials

Rachel is awesome! She's so easy to talk to, caring and was respectful of our family's dietary choices and preferences. She had great ideas on how to get our child to eat more and it's working! “ – Janis, mom to 2 year old

"Thank you for offering the class today, I feel like I got so much out of it! I just happened to have sweet potatoes and ripe bananas at home so Abe and I baked your mini muffin recipe this afternoon. The whole time we we're mixing them up he was saying, "But I don't like sweet potato!" Even though I wanted to get frustrated I just shrugged it off, saying, "Well maybe you don't like it yet." 

Once they were finished I left one on a plate and didn't pay him much attention and pretty soon he'd eaten a whole one and was asking for more. " - Karin M, mom to Abe, 2.5 years

“Rachel opened my eyes to a better approach to mealtimes and feeding, as well the importance of creating a relationship with food for my daughter. I also came away with a really helpful list of ways I can make dinner more fun and inviting, which has made her open to more new foods, without any coaxing. Mealtimes aren't stressful for either one of us anymore and I am so grateful to Rachel for that! ”

- Jennifer, mom of Maya, 3.5 years old

“Rachel’s webinar was exactly what I needed as I waded through information about solids - especially contemplating spoon fed purées vs baby-led weaning. Based in facts and research, I got the information I needed in a completely non-judgmental way. The webinar provided resources, food ideas, nutritional information, safety tips, and more. In the end, I felt confident approaching solids as a mix of the two methods."

- Jen E., mom of Ethan, 8 months old
