Starting solids safely:

Food textures, choking hazards & infant CPR

A workshop hosted by CHELSEY LANDRY of My Little Eater & Kayleigh Macdonald-Tremblay of Little Latch Co.

Are you preparing to start solids but feeling nervous about choking, textures, or when your baby is truly ready?

You’re not alone—and this in-person class with two experts in the field are here to help you feel fully prepared and confident.

Designed for parents of babies aged 4–6 months, this 2-hour workshop covers everything you need to know to safely begin your solid food journey.

You will learn:

How to recognize when your baby is developmentally ready to start solids
What textures are safest and how to progress them over time
Common choking hazards and how to modify them
The difference between gagging and choking (and when to intervene)
How to create a safe feeding environment at home
How to perform Infant CPR and choking maneuvers in case of emergency

You’ll leave this class with practical, life-saving skills and the knowledge to serve food with confidence—so your baby’s first bites are safe and stress-free.

Plus

You will get a digital copy of

A Parent's Guide to Preparing for an Emergency in your Home

You’ll get over 25 pages of step-by-step guidance of everything you learn in this workhop, in one easy to access e-book. That way, you won’t have to stress about remembering every detail and you can refer to it anytime you want a little refresh!

You may recognize me from Instagram where I regularly share tips, tricks, and recommendations on feeding your babies and toddlers.

I also write blogs for MLE, test recipes, and provide personalized support to counselling clients through custom counselling packages and “ask me anything” sessions.

And when I’m not doing that, I love being out in our community meeting new parents, and helping them get started with solids through our in-person workshops!

I can’t wait to meet you and your little one at our next workshop!

Lindsay Rhodes

Registered Nurse, lactation specialist, ibclc, Little Latch Co. Lactation

I’m a Registered Nurse and IBCLC with almost 10 years of nursing experience. Throughout my career, I’ve had the absolute privilege of caring for many families and holding countless babies! I currently work at the IWK on the Family Newborn Care Unit, where I get to support families during one of the most exciting (and sometimes overwhelming!) times in their lives. It is truly a blessing to be apart of a new parents journey, helping them feel confident and supported.

I’m also a mom to two young children. They keep me busy, make me laugh every day, and bring so much joy to my life. They’re my two little best friends and the reason I understand firsthand just how rewarding, and challenging, parenthood can be.

I’m also the co-owner of Little Latch Co. Lactation, a supportive village for families in HRM. We offer one on one feeding support, Breastfeeding Basics workshops, CPR and infant education, and biweekly community support groups. I truly believe that having a community and feeling supported can make all the difference, especially in those early parenting years! Parenthood was never meant to be done alone, and every family deserves a village!
