In this workshop, I break down the safety essentials, like how to spot the difference between gagging and actual choking, so you can stop worrying and actually enjoy those mealtime moments. We focus on simple, home-cooked foods like besan chilla and soft fruits that you can prepare right in your own kitchen. The goal is to move from the fear of what might happen to the confidence of knowing what to do. During our two hours together, we strip away the overwhelm of traditional purees and look at how to serve real food that your baby can handle. You will learn to recognize when your baby is truly ready for self-feeding based on their physical development, not just their age. A huge part of our time is dedicated to safety. I teach you the clear, practical signs that distinguish a natural gagging reflex from a dangerous choking event. It is a scary topic, but knowing the difference gives you the calm you need to let your baby explore texture and taste. We also look at the Indian kitchen. You do not need fancy gear or complicated recipes. We cover how to adapt standard household staples like wheat dosa, idli, or soft-cooked vegetables into safe, graspable sizes for tiny hands. We discuss what to avoid, such as honey, added salt, or sugar, and how to handle allergies or food refusal without making mealtimes a battleground. This is an interactive session held over Zoom, so you can ask your specific questions about timing, quantities, or picky eating habits. You get full access to the recording afterward to revisit the tips whenever you need a refresher. ## About Aparna Ajayan Hi, I am Aparna. I started my own path with baby-led weaning because I wanted mealtimes with my daughter, Bhadra, to be about laughter, not chasing her around with a spoon. My workshop comes from that same messy, wonderful experience of letting a baby lead the way.
