Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, this course goes through both feeding approaches (purees and baby-led feeding) to provide you with evidence-based support and guidance so you can decide what is the best approach for you and your child.
The course takes about 4-5 hours to complete. Most modules are broken into bite-sized pieces of information that usually range from 1-5 minutes of reading or video content. However, throughout the course there are modules with slightly longer videos from pediatric nutrition specialists who have made a guest appearance to provide valuable insight on specific areas of pediatric nutrition. These include picky eating specialists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and more! This course is all encompassing and attempts to answer any and all questions you may have surrounding your feeding journey. Feel free to skip through the modules that don’t pertain to your individual child.
My entire career has been devoted to educating and supporting caregivers through breastfeeding, starting solids, and toddler eating. I am a pediatric registered dietitian and international board-certified lactation consultant with over seven years of experience in the field. I graduated from the University of Alabama with a bachelor’s degree in Human Nutrition, and I also completed the Coordinated Program in Dietetics through the University of Alabama. I have worked with hundreds of caregivers in a one-on-one setting to provide individualized nutrition therapy and support for various pediatric nutrition therapy concerns and diagnoses. I am also a mom of two who has walked through my own feeding challenges with my little ones. I know firsthand how overwhelming and frustrating it can be when starting solids, which is why I created this course to include chat access to a pediatric nutrition expert from the comfort of your own home. This course is a labor of love and helps bridge the gap between the overwhelming amount of social media advice available and our infrequent routine appointments to the pediatrician’s office.
From the day you sign up, you have 12 months of access to the Starting Solids Course. Discounted rates are available if you need additional support after your time has expired. Reminders will be sent through the app to let you know when your course expiration is approaching. As a bonus, as new information becomes available in the field of pediatric nutrition, the course gets updated to reflect those changes. This ensures it meets the requirements to be designated as “evidenced-based”.
This course encompasses hours of pediatric nutrition education and expertise at a rate that is 1/3rd the price of a one-on-one session with a pediatric nutritionist. Simply put, this is an absolute steal of a deal. I offer this course to provide caregivers with the support that every parent should have when starting solids, but unfortunately do not receive. For that reason, this course is priced at an incredibly low rate, given the amount of information and specialized insight you are receiving as a member.
You can email info@thebabydietitian.com at any point after purchasing the course to request a full refund, as long as the course has not yet been accessed. Once the course has been accessed and you have begun reviewing modules, you have 48 hours from the time of registering to let me know of any concerns and to request a full refund. Once a refund has been processed, you will no longer have access to the group, private chat access to the team of clinical nutrition experts, or access to the private Facebook “The Baby Dietitian Starting Solids” group.
