Welcome to the very first episode of Introducing Solids with Weanish! I’m Rennae Hoare - children’s nutritionist, mum of two, and founder of Weanish, your go-to community for infant and toddler feeding support. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, confused, or unsure about introducing your baby to solids, this podcast is just what you need!

In this episode, we’ll start at the beginning. I’ll walk you through everything you need to know before introducing solids: when to start, what signs to watch for, and why readiness matters. You’ll leave feeling empowered and confident about making weaning a joyful experience for both you and your baby. Plus, I’ll share my own story about navigating weaning as a first-time mum far from home.

We’ll also cover:
- Why solids are essential from 6 months
- The key signs that indicate your baby is ready
- Common feeding challenges—and how to manage them
- The importance of watching for fullness cues
