Starting Solids with Vita Postnatal

Alongside running Some Mums, I’m a Postnatal Doula and a trained Starting Solids educator. I trained to teach weaning in 2025, following my own stress-filled experience of introducing food to my daughter and a desire to make the process feel easier, calmer and less overwhelming for other parents.

Starting solids is an exciting milestone, but it can also bring a whole host of questions. What should I offer? When should I start? How do I know my baby is getting enough? And what about all the advice you hear from everyone else?

My Starting Solids workshops are designed to take away some of that overwhelm, with clear, practical, guideline-led information to help you feel confident and prepared for this new chapter.

And alongside the guidance, there’s a healthy dose of reality and reassurance from me as a toddler Mum who has been through it too — because sometimes you need to know not everything goes exactly to plan, and that’s completely okay.

I'd love to meet you and your baby,
