Great, I’ve read Gil Rapley's book too and it gives you a good background. But this course offers concrete steps on avoiding choking and getting in high iron foods, something I felt was overlooked in the book. Which is one reason why I wrote my own book "The Parents Guide to Babyled Weaning."
This e-course offers videos so can SEE babies eating and what foods to offer, unlike books. Along with a Facebook group where myself and other members can get questions answered, and a recipe book – this course is still totally useful to you!
Even if you’ve been using purees for weeks or months, it’s very important to also offer your baby finger foods before 9 months of age.
This course will be useful for you if introducing finger foods is new, even if your baby is closer to 9 or 12 months. You still have the same things to focus on, including concentrating on iron rich foods and preventing choking.
You are already sold on the concept of BLW - great! You’ve come to the right place. The private Facebook forum will be a great place to answer your questions, and the info provided in the course will give you some solid steps to make sure you are safely and nutritiously feeding your baby.
No, but you can join the course and get prepared! More about “when” to start is found inside.
A single consult with a dietitian would cost more way money than this course. And if you have extended health benefits, email me for a receipt –you may get reimbursed! This isn't guaranteed, please check with your benefits provider before ordering.
This course is delivered in quick videos, watch the ones you need to! This will save you time from searching the internet, youtube and reading books. Everything you need for BLW in one place!
This course is so much more than a book!
Quick but still offering solid steps, the course videos are awesome for actually SEEING babies eat, sizes of safe food and more.
The facebook group is invaluable, as I will be in there to help and you will have other moms for support!
The Cookbook for Babyled Weaners is a nice bonus too.
Unfortuately following intuition for most has meant starting too early, with foods that don’t contain the most important nutrients for a baby and are unsafe in size.
The guidance of a professional (and fellow BLW mom) will give you solid steps and assistance!
Each video is 4-10 minutes long - I know you’re busy so try to get to the point!
Overall there is about 90 minutes worth of “watching,” broken down into short chunks.
Some supporting links and handouts are provided as well, if you want to delve further.
You should be able to review everything within 2-3 hours. Of course how much time you spend in the facebook group is up to you!
You will get access to the whole program within minutes of registering, so you can start right away.
While health officials are not yet recommending BLW as a health guideline, there is research that will has demonstrated that with the proper training and methods, BLW can be safe and beneficial for babies.
The newer starting solids guidelines from Canada do recommend introducing finger foods now at 6 months…so I think it’s coming eventually!
I discuss the current research as well as concerns of health professionals in the course, so that you can have an educated conversation with them about it.
If you are not 100% happy with the course, just let me know ([email protected]) why, and I will offer a 100% refund within 7 days of purchase (as long as I haven't emailed you a receipt for health benefits reimbursement). Give it a try, there’s no risk!
$49. This is much less than a private consult with a dietitian (me!).
*If you have extended health benefits that reimburse dietitian fees, it’s possible you will get reimbursed, leading to the cost of the course for you being $0!!!
But not guaranteed, please check with your benefits provider first, that they will reimburse an online course run by a Registered Dietitian from Alberta.
You will have access to the course materials for 6 months, and the facebook group for as long as you like!
