Join our baby nutrition class as part of our First Breath workshop series
We want our First Breath Families programme to be fun and informative, so we are delighted to bring you the first two workshops as part of our free series.
Nutrition: Happy and Healthy Mealtimes workshop goes way beyond weaning. It will help you learn what and how much food your baby needs to be healthy, how to create a positive relationship with food, navigate fussy eating and find ways to move forward.
The two-hour session will be delivered by Paediatric Nutritionist Aliya Porter. It will be interactive with group work and discussion.
Refreshments will be provided.
