Get the step-by-step Confident Solids Guide plus printable trackers, safety checklists, and gentle feeding scripts.
- Evidence-informed, not fear-based
- Baby-led weaning friendly (without pressure)
- Created for sensitive, eczema-prone, and refluxy babies
Created by Victoria, mum, nutrition nerd, and gentle feeding educator — here to sit beside you at the high chair, not above you.
Not another rigid BLW plan.
Confident Solids is where baby-led weaning, gut health, and responsive feeding meet. It’s designed for parents who want structure and safety — without pressure, labels, or perfectionism.
You’ll learn how to gently support your baby’s microbiome, introduce allergens with confidence, and read your baby’s cues — so feeding feels calm and connected, not like a test you can fail.
What makes Confident Solids different?
- Blends BLW and purées so you can choose what fits your baby and your nervous system.
- Gut-supportive foundations without extreme restrictions or fear of every ingredient.
- Low-histamine aware guidance for sensitive, eczema-prone, and refluxy babies.
- Clear choking vs gagging education so you know what’s normal and when to seek help.
- Responsive feeding scripts to keep meals calm, even when your baby says “no”.
Inside The Confident Solids Method™
A gentle roadmap from first tastes to family meals.
The Confident Solids Method™ is a step-by-step digital guide and toolkit that walks you through when and how to start solids, how to support your baby’s gut, and how to feed responsively — so you can enjoy this season instead of second-guessing every bite.
1. Know when & how to start
Clear, non-alarmist guidance on readiness signs, first foods, texture by age, and what portions really look like for tiny tummies.
2. Support gut health gently
Evidence-informed strategies to nurture the microbiome, use meat stocks, and reduce overwhelm around histamines — without labelling foods as “good” or “bad”.
3. Feed responsively & safely
Scripts, routines, and allergen introduction plans that respect your baby’s cues and your own comfort level — plus simple safety and choking education.
Bonus printables: meat stock guides, cut-by-age visuals, allergen & symptom trackers, and a gentle safety checklist you can stick on the fridge.
You’re not the only parent feeling nervous about that first bite.
This is where future stories from parents just like you will live — mums of eczema-babies, refluxy little ones, and anxious feeders who now feel calm, informed, and connected at the high chair.
Hi, I’m Victoria — your calm voice at the high chair.
You’re not doing it wrong — you just haven’t been given gentle, clear guidance yet.
When it was time to start solids with my own baby, I felt like every article and Instagram post screamed a new rule: never do this, always do that, avoid this forever. It was exhausting — especially with eczema, reflux, and gut health on my mind.
I’m not here as a medical authority, and I’ll never replace your paediatric or allergy team. I’m here as a fellow mum and evidence-informed educator who has spent years studying infant feeding, microbiome research, and responsive feeding — and then translating it into calm, realistic routines for everyday families.
Confident Solids was born from the question: What if starting solids could feel grounded and gentle, instead of like walking through a minefield? You deserve clarity and confidence, not more pressure. And your baby deserves a feeding relationship built on trust, curiosity, and connection.
- Evidence-informed guidance, always within your comfort zone.
- No shaming, no “perfect parent” expectations.
- Practical support for real-life babies, including sensitive and eczema-prone little ones.
The Confident Solids Method™
From “What if they react?” to “I know what to do next.”
The problem: Most starting-solids advice assumes a carefree parent and a totally typical baby. If you’re navigating eczema, reflux, previous reactions, or anxiety, it can feel like there’s no safe, sane middle ground.
The solution: A calm, step-by-step roadmap that respects your baby’s body and your nervous system — with clear plans for first foods, allergens, gut support, and what’s normal vs concerning.
What’s included
- A digital Confident Solids Guide you can read on your phone or print.
- Step-by-step starting plan (4–12+ months) for both BLW and spoon-fed styles.
- Texture and cut-by-age visuals so you’re never guessing what size is safe.
- Allergen introduction roadmaps with trackers for symptoms and timing.
- Gentle meat stock and gut-support guides tailored to real family life.
- Safety, gagging vs choking, and response cheat-sheets.
- Scripts for handling food refusal, family pressure, and your own anxiety.
Who it’s for
- Parents of babies 4–12 months preparing to start or restart solids.
- Families navigating eczema, reflux, or suspected sensitivities (alongside their medical team).
- Anxious or first-time feeders who want structure without strict rules.
Who it’s not for
This guide does not replace medical care or individualised allergy advice. It isn’t a strict therapeutic diet, and it’s not suitable as the sole resource for medically complex feeding needs.
Expected outcomes: more confidence, fewer late-night Google spirals, a calmer feeding space, and a clear sense of what to offer next — even when things feel messy.
