I’m asking myself this question now. Little Jillian is 5 months old now and many of the women in my baby group are discussing this very question. Is it time? How do I do it? What comes first?
I’m also getting this question from my relatives. The older generation is asking “so when do they recommend starting solids now?” They are realizing that research changes and views change with generations.
So what is the right thing to do?
As with any parenting decision I think the most important thing is to be confident in your own decision. All parents will do things differently, so you need to be ok with that. Gather the information and make informed decisions about everything. This can seem overwhelming, but listen to your intuition and also to trusted health care professionals.
I’m referring back to what I learned in Pediatrics class with my mentor in naturopathic medicine. So here are a few considerations to take into account:
Is my baby ready for solids?

I have begun instructing a great group of women with The City of Barrie program – Cleanse with Your Friends.
We are all starting our cleanse within the next few days. I’m gearing up to start tomorrow and came up with a new snack:)
Black Bean Avocado Dip
Blend all ingredients in a food processor. The colour is kind of greyish afterwards but it tastes great! Eat with carrot and celery sticks, cucumber and some brown rice crackers. Mmmm!
Day 1 for me starts tomorrow!

WOW! What a fun time we had on Friday evening. Everyone at The Healing Oasis would like to thank our friends and family for coming out and sharing in some fun and light activity.
Not only did we have an amazing ice rink all to ourselves for an hour, we had an entire party room filled with kids and parents and friends…and SNACKS! All of which were a hit!! And we had SO many people ask us for our recipes we thought we’d share them with you to enjoy with your own friends and families. (Look for the recipes in our next blogs.)
We hope everyone had as much fun as we did and we look forward to seeing even more of you at our next client appreciation event….perhaps a summer BBQ!?
To view the entire photo album from our fun skate day simply find us on Facebook and become a fan.
With sincere thanks,
The Healing Oasis Team

Tonight I will be instructing the Meals and Nutrition for Munchkins with The City of Barrie. I’ve had a lot of fun preparing for this seminar while looking at cookbooks, which are my favourite type of book. I love trying new recipes and this gave me a great opportunity to check out new books and recipes to share with the parents attending.
