Starting Solids
Starting solids is a big milestone, and it doesn’t come with a manual. We help you know when your baby is ready, what to offer, and how to build feeding skills one bite at a time.

Our approach
A Whole-Body Approach to Starting Solids.
Feeding is not just about the mouth. Our team looks at how oral function, posture, breathing, sensory processing, and overall motor development impact your baby’s ability to eat safely and comfortably.
Your starting solids visit may include:
- Oral motor and feeding skill assessment
- Postural and body tension evaluation
- Support for optimal positioning
- Texture and utensil recommendations
- Collaboration across disciplines when needed
This comprehensive approach helps build a strong foundation for lifelong feeding success.
