Transitioning to Solids

Transitioning to solids can be a challenge for many families. With so much information out there many parents feel overwhelmed with what to feed, how to feed and when to feed. Early feeding experiences lay a foundation in a child’s relationship with food for life. Where to start can be overwhelming, fears of choking abound, uncertainty in knowing if your baby can actually handle the food you offer them, and knowing what and how to offer new foods can be daunting.

We have over 15 years of feeding expertise from the simple fixes to the most complex problems. Little Stories can work with you on supporting your feeding transition by providing education skilled treatment/strategies, moral support and encouragement. We are here as a resource for you and your questions!
