A Maternify nutritionist who specializes in infant feeding will guide you as your baby starts eating: when to begin, how to introduce foods, what to do about foods that might cause allergies, and how to organize family meals. The consultation is available online only, via video call, and afterward you’ll receive a personalized nutrition plan.
At Maternify, we're experts in complementary feeding and Baby-Led Weaning, and we help you choose the method that works best for your baby: purees, BLW, or a combination of the two.

Starting solids can raise a lot of questions and lead to a lot of conflicting information. Our goal is for you to approach each meal with a clear plan and without fear, while respecting your baby’s pace. We base our approach on the recommendations of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics and adapt them to your family.
If you're looking for a general guide to get started, check out our guide to complementary feeding. And if you'd rather learn in a group setting, check out the workshop on complementary feeding and BLW.
Nutrition counseling is not a substitute for checkups with your pediatrician. If your baby isn't gaining weight, is vomiting frequently, has a reaction after eating a new food (hives, swelling of the lips or face, difficulty breathing), or seems lethargic, consult your pediatrician or go to the emergency room.
Are you about to start introducing solid foods? Schedule a consultation with a nutritionist who specializes in infants and get started with a clear plan.
General recommendations suggest starting around 6 months, while continuing to provide breast milk or formula as the main source of nutrition during the first year. Every baby develops at their own pace, so you should decide on the specific date with your pediatrician based on your baby’s signs of readiness.
This is an approach to introducing solid foods in which the baby eats age-appropriate, chunky foods on their own, rather than purees. It’s not the only option: you can also start with purees or combine the two methods. During your appointment, we’ll help you choose the approach that works best for your baby and your family.
They are usually introduced one at a time, in small amounts, with a few days between each one to see how the baby responds. If there is a history of allergies or the baby has already had a reaction, check with your pediatrician first. During your appointment, we’ll provide you with a sample schedule.
Gagging is common at first and is part of the learning process. Choking is a different matter, and it’s important to know how to recognize it and take action. During your appointment, we’ll explain how to prepare food to reduce the risk, and if you’d like to learn the techniques, we offer a “ First Aid Courses ” course for babies.
It’s common for children to eat very little at first or to refuse new foods—they need to try them several times. If your child isn’t gaining weight, seems lethargic, or is vomiting, consult your pediatrician. During your appointment, we’ll give you tips on how to make mealtimes stress-free.
There is no strict age limit. We support you from the start of complementary feeding, as well as older children with eating difficulties, following an assessment.
The first online consultation, which lasts one hour, costs 95 €, and follow-up consultations, which last 30 minutes, cost 55 €. After the first consultation, you'll receive a personalized nutrition plan.
