Starting solids: Mini Course

Navigate starting solids with confidence, not guesswork.

Created by paediatrician Dr Daniel Golshevsky (Dr Golly), the Starting Solids Mini Course gives you practical, evidence-based guidance to help take the confusion out of introducing solid foods and feel confident about what, when and how to feed your baby.

You'll learn how to:

• Recognise the signs that your baby is ready to start solids
• Know which foods to introduce first and how to progress through different textures and flavours
• Understand feeding techniques and how much your baby should be eating as they progress
• Introduce common allergens safely and understand the signs of an allergic reaction
• Understand the relationship between solids, nutrition and sleep
• Navigate packet foods and pouches and make informed choices for your family
• Manage common challenges including constipation and food intolerances
• Know what to do in the event of an allergic reaction, with practical first aid guidance and emergency information
• Build a positive relationship with food and make starting solids an enjoyable experience for you and your baby

The course includes easy-to-follow video lessons, written modules and practical resources covering everything from getting started and feeding techniques to allergens, first aid, constipation, intolerances and frequently asked questions.

Access the course through the Dr Golly App on mobile or desktop and learn at your own pace with lifetime access, so you can revisit the guidance as your baby's eating skills and nutritional needs develop.
