Baby-led weaning (BLW) in the simplest form is about offering your baby once ready for solids real foods, the same or slightly modified foods that the rest of the family eats, from the very beginning, and allow baby to be in charge of feeding themselves and deciding how much to eat.
This approach isn’t really new, it’s how baby humans ate long before recent history brought special baby food products, and turned it into a full industry along with the image of parents holding spoonfuls of them and trying to helicopter them into the mouths of babies. However, the term BLW was coined relatively recently, and with it the baby-led approach started growing greatly in popularity again in recent years because of all that we know now about its positive effects, specifically in terms of raising happy eaters who enjoy food in our world where picky eating in kids and eating disorders in adults are alarmingly common.
Because of how we grow up thinking of the idea of feeding babies (liquid like purées for several months, bland one-ingredient foods repeated for several days, feeding and quantities controlled by the parent etc..), placing baby in the lead with real foods can understandably cause some hesitation. But knowledge (and a supportive community!) is power!
This session will provide you with all the information and tools you need to set you & your baby up for a happy, successful, stress-free baby led feeding journey. But more than that, it will provide you with what is often lacking from the information available out there on baby feeding and which plays a huge role in raising happy eaters.. and that is our role as parents! The relationship we build at the table that will actually get them eating all the things we want them to eat, not just now, but on the longer run, and help them grow into adventurous happy eaters with a positive healthy relationship with food!
You’ll also be joining a community of like-minded moms so you’ll also be getting the emotional support & companionship on your journey.

Some feedback from parents just like you about their experience with us
This was the best workshop I participated in so far. Very informative and structured and it actually contains a lot of real life scenarios and tweaks we can apply to our routines that ACTUALLY make a huge difference. I really enjoyed Rana’s way of delivering her content and answering our questions : very calm, confident and non judgemental.

Okay maybe I have so so so much to say, first of all you’ve fixed my baby’s relationship with food. You’ve given me so much support. You released all the stress I had concerning eating. You were always here to answer me and give me all the tips with much love and care. Let me tell you that your page is the only one on my new insta favorite list. Your recipes never fail, your tips and advice never fail, you are so realistic and never pretend to be perfect. I wait for your stories every single day because you and your family draw the smile on my face 🌹keep going❤

Where to begin..you first gave me plenty of meal ideas, (MY FAV basic pancakes), u helped me enjoy mealtimes after being very stressful, helped my baby have a positive relation with food. I followed all your tips on BLW and my baby eats independently now shes 1.

We struggled when we introduced solids to our baby. We tried following what we usually know is the way to go by introducing purees and feeding her ourselves. It didn’t feel right! She wasn’t enjoying being fed and we were getting frustrated when she wasn’t eating. I came across Rana’s page, understood more about BLW and started following her tips. I saw the immediate change in her eating “habits”. I decided to learn more about BLW and booked the consultation with Rana. The session was very helpful in explaining BLW, why it is useful, the benefits to child and parents and how easy it is! The session gave me the push I needed to try BLW fully and I felt more confident post the session to do so. Now, we share our meals with our baby, it is an enjoyable time for everyone and we no longer worry about what to feed her as she eats what we are having. I definitely recommend her sessions to parents interested in trying this approach. Thank you Rana!
Raya Haidar
This workshop changed my perspective on BLW. I now understand that is is not just about offering finger foods it’s a whole experience. Rana made the information easy to understand and provided many examples and also backed her information with research and the help of a pediatric nutritionist.

The session was not rushed at all and you took your time in explaining the fundamentals of BLW and happily answered my questions. I felt welcomed by you to address any issues regarding BLW that I needed to know more about. I got out of the session feeling much more confident to further proceed and embark on a BLW journey with baby Ray.
– The highlight was you! Yes YOU! It was very refreshing to receive this “training” from someone I consider highly credible and obviously very passionate and very well versed in the field of BLW! This in and of itself was the reason I booked with you and why I feel the session benefited me.
– The session further confirmed what I knew all along about wanting to go down the BLW route.
– I was mostly concerned about gagging/choking and you managed to dissipate my fears in that regard. You empowered me with some tips and tricks on how to handle gagging and what to look out for in the rare case it happened to be a case of choking.
