4 months or 6 months? Rice Cereal or Real Food?? Veggies before Fruit??
You are about to introduce your little one to the exciting and messy world of SOLID FOOD!

We discuss purees, baby led weaning and all the ins and outs you need to get started. Babes in arms are welcome (after all, it’s their experience too!).

The facilitator will be Taya Griffin in conjunction with Bebo Mia.

In 2007, she graduated from the Ontario College of Homeopathic Medicine with a Professional Diploma in Health Sciences and Homeopathic Medicine and practiced as a Homeopath focusing on pregnancy, pediatrics, and women’s conditions. Realizing her passion lay in helping mothers reach their breastfeeding goals, in 2011 Taya graduated from the International Breastfeeding Centre / Newman Breastfeeding Clinic’s Lactation Medicine Program. During her education she achieved over 700 hours of clinical experience and worked as an intern directly under Dr. Jack Newman and Edith Kernerman. Taya is also an Infant Feeding Specialist and is excited to be working with Bebo Mia to help educate women about breastfeeding/infant feeding and assisting families in reaching their wellness goals.
