Founder, The Baby Dietitian

As a Pediatric Registered Dietitian, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, and mother of two, I am passionate about starting babies and toddlers out with optimal nutrition. The first 1,000 days of life set the stage for all the days to follow — and nutrition plays a pivotal role in this. I focus on providing evidence-based support to moms so they can make the best nutrition choices for their little one. I would love to empower you on your breastfeeding and starting solids journey.

How to Start Solids

Are you unsure of what foods your baby can or cannot have when starting solids? Have you heard mixed opinions on when to start solids? Is baby-led feeding safe or should purees be the only option given? Is food before one really just for fun — or is that an old wives tale?

If you’ve had any of these questions — our self-paced Starting Solids 101 Course is perfect for you. Designed for caregivers with littles between 4-12 months of age, the Starting Solids 101 course is a 100% evidence-based approach to starting solids in a way that encourages a healthy dietary pattern from the start.

Kind Words from Moms

Thank you for the great work you do! Cinthia offers incredible free resources and the options for purchase SO worth it. Very well priced for the wealth of knowledge you get. Even as someone with years of medical training, Cinthia’s resources helped me feel more comfortable starting solids with my LO and I love following along on her Instagram for the most up to date guidance.

Cindy’s information regarding baby-led weaning and starting solids was incredibly helpful to me. I love her posts with specific examples of what to do or try for my little one. Her course in transitioning to milk as my little one turned one was helpful as well.

Cindy has been SO helpful on the journey. I don't think I could've gotten this far without her and her recommendations. All of her knowledge has been incredible, I would recommend her to anyone with toddlers and younger, even if you aren't having struggles with feeding!
