This webinar offers a practical and evidence-based introduction to complementary infant feeding for healthcare providers. As trusted sources of guidance for families, clinicians play a crucial role in supporting the transition from breast milk or formula to solid foods.

Topics will include recognizing signs of developmental readiness, timing of introduction, choosing appropriate first foods, and addressing parental concerns about allergies, choking, and feeding behaviors. It will also emphasize practical counseling techniques, anticipatory guidance, and culturally competent care to help families build healthy, lifelong eating habits from the start.
