“Within a few minutes, she was able to identify that our baby was cluster feeding!"
We used Sleep & Cradle for our 18-month-old daughter. Within a few minutes, she was able to identify that our baby was cluster feeding. Our lifestyle of work and crazy schedules made it difficult in the beginning to follow the process, but once we were able to establish a more regular schedule for the baby, with little tweaks Cynthia provided, we have been able to sleep all night. Our baby goes to bed and no longer wakes up asking for a bottle of milk at night. She knows when it’s time to sleep and has a consistent routine, which is what babies crave the most. Thanks!!

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Transitioning to Solid Foods Class
Many babies are ready to start solids at around 6 months of age, but readiness depends on your baby's development, not age alone. Part 1 of the class explains developmental readiness cues, and your pediatrician can confirm when the time is right for your baby.
Commonly described signs include good head and neck control, sitting up with little or no support, showing interest in food, and no longer automatically pushing food out with the tongue. Part 1 of the class walks through these readiness cues in more detail. Check with your pediatrician if you're unsure.
There is more than one way to introduce solids. The class covers feeding methods, first foods, textures, finger foods and self-feeding skills to help you choose an approach that fits your baby and your family. Talk with your pediatrician about what suits your baby, especially if you have concerns about choking, growth or development.
Part 4 covers common food allergies in babies, recognizing reactions and feeding safety when introducing new foods. Talk with your pediatrician before introducing common allergens, especially if your baby has eczema or a known food allergy. If your baby has trouble breathing or swelling of the face or lips after eating, call 911 right away.
You get instant access after purchase and lifetime access to the on-demand video series, so you can revisit lessons as your baby moves from first tastes to family meals.
