Understand how to successfully introduce table foods to baby in just a few hours, avoiding overwhelm and late night Google searches.
There is SO much noise out there about how to introduce solids- I'll help you cut through the noise with the most recent, evidence-based information.
You're overwhelmed and everyone's advice is different.
I've been there. As both a parent and a feeding specialist, I get it. I really do. Starting table foods is confusing, messy, stressful (I mean, the gagging?!), and there is just too much information out there. You just want to set your baby up for success but don't know how.
You are getting advice from your doctor, family, and friends - some of it doesn't sit well and you feel like there might be a better way.
You start to do your own research, but you're busy and it's hard to collect information from so many different sources.
Unless we turn to evidence-based, family-centered information that empowers us and creates joyful mealtimes, we remain stuck, anxious, and confused.

Solids are great but what the heck do you do about milk feeds? Don't worry - I've got you.
Along with solid foods often come questions like “do I give them a meal before or after a bottle?” or “when do I stop breastfeeding?”. As a lactation counselor and feeding specialist, I help you understand the nuances of weaning from bottle versus breast, how to do it, and how it relates to solid foods.

Hi, I'm Kelsey Norris.
I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist, Certified Lactation Counselor, and Feeding Specialist.
Oh, and I'm also a parent to two young kids (aka my most important job). I became a parent in 2019 and was so excited to start solids with my firstborn. As a feeding therapist, I thought I totally had a handle on things.
But then I realized that there were major differences between what my doctor said, my friends said, what social media said, and my clinical knowledge. I thought, if this is overwhelming for me, I can only imagine how l would feel if I didn't have a background as a feeding therapist. So... I turned to the research. I wanted to know if there was one "best" way. I wanted to know how to set my firstborn, and eventually my second, up for long-term success.
So, here we are- I've made the mistakes and done all of the hard work for you. This course is EXACTLY what I wanted when I had my first child.
My lens is unique in that I am both a professional and a parent- you'll see that reflected in my teaching. Not only am I passionate about evaluating and treating feeding disorders, but I am committed to educating families, as well. I want mealtime to be FUN for every family.
