Messy Munchers

Messy munchers is a short, fun session about what foods to give your baby and when. Come and join us at one of our free sessions and see how easy it can be to wean your baby with a demonstration of fun first foods. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have around weaning. The session lasts approximately 30 minutes and is ideal for parents and carers of babies aged 0-12 months.
