Welcome to all things weaning
Here at Designed To, I want to make the weaning journey as fun as possible for everyone involved. So I've created a series of workshops, classes and pop-ups to make the transition from milk to food as enjoyable and seamless as possible.
Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, you're anxious or can't wait... there is something here for you to get your teeth into.
Starting Solids Weaning Workshop
First tastes, big questions and plenty of conflicting advice. My Starting Solids workshop helps you make sense of weaning, so you can approach this next chapter feeling informed, prepared and excited to share food with your baby.
Over two and a half to three hours, I’ll guide you through signs of readiness, baby-led weaning and purées, gagging and choking, introducing allergens, nutrition and the practicalities of what to offer and how. Expect interactive activities, honest conversation and plenty of opportunities to ask all those burning questions.
Mums, dads, grandparents and anyone involved in feeding your baby are welcome. Whether you’re planning ahead or have already started and want some reassurance, you’ll leave with practical ideas and a clearer understanding of the hows and whys, ready to find an approach that works for your family.
Fancy making it a party? I also offer private workshops in your own home. Gather your friends, bring some food to share and try, and enjoy learning together in familiar surroundings. Evening and weekend options make it easier to include partners, grandparents and everyone you’d like around the table.
Baby Buffet
Squish it, squash it, taste it, explore it. Baby Buffet is all-edible messy play that gives your baby the freedom to discover different colours, textures and tastes at their own pace.
It’s a chance to get curious about food, with no pressure to eat and plenty of permission to make a mess.
From mini sessions with a small selection of inviting food trays to bigger sessions with more to explore, there’s room for little hands and big discoveries. You get to enjoy the experience together, and leave the clearing up to me.
I also offer private Baby Buffet events for clubs and businesses.
Feed their curiosity.
Tiny Chef
Little hands, real ingredients and something delicious to take home. Tiny Chef introduces your baby to the fun of preparing food together, with simple recipes and plenty of opportunities to mash, mix, scoop and squish.
Each session is a shared experience, with you helping your baby explore ingredients and get involved at their own pace. From no-bake creations to treats ready to bake at home, the joy is in having a go, getting messy and discovering what food can become.
I’ll provide the ingredients, equipment and guidance, so you can enjoy creating together and leave with ideas to try again in your own kitchen.
