How Often Should I See a Dietitian for Baby-Led Weaning?
Every baby is different, and so is their journey with food. The frequency of dietitian visits depends on your baby’s age, feeding progress, and any specific concerns such as allergies, sensory sensitivities, or growth. Your MyOrThrive dietitian will tailor a support plan that adapts as your baby develops.​
​
Here’s what we typically recommend:
​
-
Weekly or Biweekly Appointments (First 1–2 Months):
Get close support as you begin baby-led weaning. We’ll help troubleshoot any early challenges and boost your confidence from the start. -
Monthly Check-Ins (As Baby Gains Confidence):
As your baby explores more foods, textures, and self-feeding, we’ll support you with practical tips and ensure nutritional needs are being met. -
Every 3–6 Months (Long-Term Growth & Habits):
These sessions focus on ongoing nutrition, new meal ideas, and keeping up with milestones, so you stay on track and feel supported.
For Babies With Allergies or Feeding Concerns:
We may recommend more frequent visits at the beginning to monitor symptoms and fine-tune your feeding approach. As things stabilise, we’ll help shift to a more relaxed, sustainable schedule.
