CARP – There’s no manual for raising a baby, but there are some related workshops.

The West Carleton Family Health Team (WCFHT) is hosting a series of workshops on introducing solid food to your baby.

“This one-and-a-half hour workshop covers everything you need to know about introducing solids to your little one,” the WCFHT released in a statement. “It is ideal to attend this workshop when your baby is four to nine months, but other ages are welcome. Babies are welcome to attend. This course is facilitated by WCFHT’s registered dietitian.”

Topics include:

• when and how to first introduce solid foods to your baby
• when specific foods and food groups should be introduced
• key nutrients of concern for growing babies
• tips for developing life-long healthy eating habits and avoiding picky eating
• how to make your own baby food (with take-home recipes)
• allergy guidelines
• discussion on baby led weaning
