Calm, professional weaning support – so you feel reassured, relaxed and able to enjoy mealtimes with your baby
Weaning can feel like a lot - with so much conflicting advice, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

I’m here to cut through the noise and make it feel simple, safe and enjoyable for you and your baby

KIND WORDS FROM YOU
Families who felt exactly like you do now

We recently joined Katherine in her beautiful home for a weaning course, we left very informed and excited about starting to wean in January. The space was calming and Katherine was kind enough to answer all our questions and offered her support at any point into our weaning journey, which was incredibly kind. We cannot wait to come back again and join the First Aid and Soul-Full mama and baby course!

I attended a weaning course at the Baby Steps studio and also arranged for Katherine to deliver a first aid course at my house. I cannot recommend both courses enough - an absolute must for parents! Katherine was really lovely and the courses were very informative and really boosted my confidence. Thank you Katherine!

Katherine truly is a baby whisperer. She delivered her courses with such a calm caring nature, she made me and my baby feel comfortable and in good hands with all her years of experience as a nurse and a mother. I could not recommend her enough, I feel very lucky to have been able to meet Katherine and do her baby steps courses.

QUICK ANSWERS
Things parents often ask
No question is too small — but here are a few of the most common ones.
Around 6 months is the general guidance — but every baby is different. The key signs to look for are: your baby can sit up and hold their head steady (they might need a little support), use their eyes, hands and mouth so they can pick food up and put it in their mouth and they've lost the tongue-thrust reflex that naturally pushes things back out of their mouth. We cover all of this together, at your pace.
Purée weaning starts with smooth, blended foods and builds up gradually. Baby-led weaning (BLW) lets your baby self-feed with soft finger foods from the start. Many families do a bit of both — and honestly, that's completely fine. We'll work out together what feels right for you and your baby, with no pressure either way.
Gagging is completely normal and actually a healthy, protective reflex. It's usually noisy — which can be alarming to watch — but your baby is managing the food themselves. Choking is very different: it's silent, and it does need immediate action. This is why the first aid side of weaning matters so much. Once you've practised it, you'll feel a world of difference.
Not at all. Whether you're thinking about starting, a week in, or a few months down the line and feeling a bit lost — there's always something useful we can work through together. The Weaning Without Worry™ Clinic is designed for exactly this. Wherever you are, we start there.
The Baby Steps Studio is in Hindhead on the Surrey/ Hampshire border (GU26 6DG) — just two minutes from the A3, with private parking on site. But if getting out of the house feels like too much right now, the 1:1 clinic is also available online from home. I also offer home visits for parents or the Weaning without Worry Workshop in your home with friends and family. Whatever works best for you.
