How Often Should I See a Dietitian For Intro to Solid Food?
The ideal schedule for dietitian support depends on your baby’s developmental stage, feeding progress, and any specific concerns you may have, such as allergies, picky eating tendencies, or slow weight gain. Your dietitian will create a plan that suits your family’s needs and evolves as your baby grows.​
​
For most families, we recommend:
-
Weekly or biweekly sessions during the first 1–2 months of starting solids to provide close guidance, troubleshoot challenges, and build confidence
-
Monthly check-ins as your baby becomes more comfortable with different textures, flavors, and self-feeding
-
Ongoing support every 3–6 months for nutrition check-ins, meal ideas, and to stay on track with developmental milestones
For babies with feeding concerns or allergies:
-
More frequent sessions may be recommended early on to monitor reactions, adjust your approach, and ensure nutritional needs are being met
-
As your baby progresses, your dietitian will help you transition to a sustainable, flexible schedule
