Eating by Myself

EATING BY MYSELF

Starting your baby on solid foods (also known as ‘weaning’) is an exciting developmental milestone and one which any parent is naturally keen to begin on the right track.

For good reason, how you feed your baby is not only relevant to their immediate health, but also has a significant impact on their long-term physical and psychological health, their relationship with food and their attitude to eating. As a mother who has done baby led weaning for my daughter & having dealt with thousands of issues of parents in our support group, I can offer all the info you need to let your baby enter into the world of solids confidently.

We can talk through any or all of the following topics to give you the confidence and know-how to start off weaning onto solid foods in the best direction you can, without worrying about being a slave to the kitchen!

Testimonials

It was a pleasure watching my baby eat mango on her own. After attending your session, I started allowing her to eat food on her own. Frankly, I was filled with a lot of anxiety and fear when we began BLW. I kept thinking she might choke on food and will not eat it. Slowly she overcame that and at 13 months, I can proudly say that she is eating on her own and we are having messy yet peaceful meals. If not for your session, I would still be mashing and feeding her semi solid food according to traditional methods of weaning. Thank you for the lovely gift in the form of your session!

I hope more paediatricians attend your sessions and advocate baby-led weaning since it will benefit more moms. During the session, I loved your emphasis on the importance of communication between a parent and child. More parents must attend your sessions since I have seen most simply gifting PS4 PlayStation to their children vis a vis proper communication. Being a medical professional myself, I always found classes on nutrition extremely boring. But you made it interesting and informative with your funny anecdotes.

My first born is a fussy eater but this session gave me so much positivity to begin BLW successfully for my second child who is a five-month-old baby now. I want him to enjoy his food minus any stress when he begins his solids – something I couldn’t do for my first child. You taught me how to plan a basic healthy meal in a quintessentially traditional household. I hope to make my family also turn to healthier eating habits soon. Thanks again for all the inspiration through your session!

Your session helped me gain confidence in allowing my child to eat food on her own. Never mind the mess she created or that she played more with her food, but I loved the fact that she ate more food than she usually does when she makes me chase her around the house with a bowl. What a satisfying experience! Thanks again, Swati!

Hi Swati, we met for the first time through this session. As you had said back then, my kid will eat on his own, he is doing so. I just watched him finish his dinner on his own while I ate mine peacefully. It was a moment of great pride for me since it was in front of all my close family members. Thanks a ton for introducing this healthy habit which will remain life-long. Stay strong and healthy always!

Hey Swati, attending your session ended my huge battle of feeding solids to my child. It helped me understand how many calories and food a baby actually needs. In a way, made me realize the importance of a child’s consent. After attending this session, I started talking to my child more, asking him what he likes and dislikes. There is absolutely no force feeding too. This has improved my bond with my child as well. I believe many more mothers are facing this struggle and must attend this session!

Hey Swati, I want to thank you for the amazing session because for the first time, me and my mother-in-law were on the same page. She attended the whole session and has fairly accepted the concept of baby-led weaning. The photos and videos of Maya went a long way in convincing her and also gave me a lot more confidence in starting my child’s journey into solid food. There is a long way to go for my kiddo to start solids but I am completely prepared now.

I would like to thank you for taking this session for me at such short notice. It was much needed since I was clueless about introduction to solid food to my baby. My paediatrician had advised me to give four meals a day and increase a meal with every passing week right in the first month of introducing solids. I had joined a weaning group on Facebook that advised me differently. So, I was extremely confused. Your light and entertaining, yet enlightening session clarified all my doubts. Now, I am all geared for a messy, patience enhancing, skill development journey. Mommy gets to learn a lot with baby too!

Eating by Myself...

Do you listen to your child’s No.? Do you understand that there is a beautiful connection between the body & brain and that the body can communicate satiety and fullness to the brain.? If so, when your child is done eating & they say a big No, do you respect their No? If not, do you realise that you are actually telling them that they don’t know enough about their bodies & an adult can decide on behalf of them.

They can’t learn consent & boundaries if you do this. According to me our education on consent starts with the way we were conditioned to finish what’s on the plate.
