Learn to trust your baby’s cues and turn mealtimes into an opportunity for discovery rather than a stressful task. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This is my daughter Bhadra, enjoying a meal all by herself.

Instead of chasing your baby around with a spoon for an hour, you learn to trust their natural ability to explore textures and tastes at their own pace, which keeps mealtimes relaxed for everyone. Starting solids can feel overwhelming. You worry about choking, you worry about mess, and you worry about nutrition. In my 2-hour interactive workshop, I strip away the fear. We focus on the practical, everyday reality of feeding a baby. We look at why traditional purées often lead to spoon-chasing and how you can flip the script by letting your baby lead. You will learn to spot the signs of readiness, how to adapt common Indian home foods like Besan Chilla or Wheat Dosa into safe, finger-friendly shapes, and exactly what foods to avoid for infants under one year. Most importantly, we spend time demystifying the difference between gagging and choking. Knowing that distinction helps you stay calm so your baby can stay curious. Since the session is live on Zoom and interactive, you can ask your specific questions about allergies or timing, and you get full recording access to re-watch whenever you need a refresher. ## About Aparna Ajayan Hi, I’m Aparna.
