The Stress-Free Guide to Starting Solids with Confidence
Your expert-led plan to conquer choking fears, navigate allergens safely, and prevent picky eating from the very first bite.
By Accredited Dietitian & Nutritionist Annabelle Johnson, as featured in
Is the thought of introducing solid foods to your baby filling you with more anxiety than joy?
You’re not alone. One minute you’re reading about the benefits of baby-led weaning, the next you’re terrified by warnings about choking. You know that introducing allergens early is important, but the idea of giving your baby peanut butter feels like a risk. You’re bombarded with conflicting advice from social media and well-meaning relatives, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and stuck, afraid to make a wrong move.
But this precious milestone doesn’t have to be a source of stress.
Imagine feeling calm, prepared, and truly confident every time you put your baby in their highchair. Imagine knowing exactly how to serve food safely, how to introduce new tastes to build an adventurous eater, and how to turn mealtimes into a joyful experience for you both.
That is exactly what this course was created to do. I’ve taken all the confusing, evidence-based science and distilled it into a simple, practical, and supportive step-by-step guide. This is your single source of truth to cut through the noise and start your baby’s food journey with confidence and joy.

Who am I, and why did I create this course?
Hi, I’m Annabelle.
An Accredited Dietitian and Nutritionist, and mum.
As a mother, I’ve been right where you are: sitting in front of my baby, feeling that mix of excitement and a little bit of terror. I know the feeling of second-guessing every decision.
But as an Accredited Dietitian with years of experience in paediatric nutrition, I also knew that it didn’t have to be this complicated or stressful. I saw hundreds of parents paralysed by the same fears and confusion, and I was determined to create a better way.
I created this course to bridge the gap between complex clinical guidelines and the reality of being a busy parent. I’ve poured all my professional knowledge and my real-life mum-in-the-trenches experience into a clear, practical, and reassuring program. My goal is to empower you with the same confidence I have, so you can put the stress aside and truly enjoy this incredible journey with your baby.
Let me guide you, one confident bite at a time.

Hear from confident parents
As a first time mum i was very nervous about starting solids with my 6m old. Thankfully Annabelle has a very affordable course you can take which is all online and you can even re-visit when you complete it. I was more confident to start feeding my baby and knew how to offer her stress free balanced plates. Eating out has been really fun too and we are not afraid to offer our baby most of what we eat.

Highly recommended! Attending to Annabelle’s solid start workshop has helped me to be more confident of my baby’s solid journey. Also less anxious when introducing allergens to LO. Also love her IG introducing practical recipe and healthier ingredient options.
