Let us take the guess work and uncertainty out of starting solids with your baby!

From wondering if your baby is ready, to deciding between purées and baby-led weaning, to feeling anxious about choking, there’s a lot to navigate when your little one starts eating solids.

That’s why we offer a Starting Solids + CPR & Choking Workshop that will help you to feel well informed on this major milestone in your baby’s growth and development.

All information that is presented is up to date and backed by current recommendations from the Canadian Paediatric Society and the Heart and Stroke foundation ❤️

You will learn all about:

•When to start: and how to recognize your baby’s signs of readiness
•Purées + baby-led weaning: Understanding both approaches and how you don’t necessarily need to choose and stick to one method
•Introducing allergens: How to introduce common allergens safely and what to do if an allergic reaction occurs
• Constipation: learn about normal stooling patterns after starting solids
• Choking + CPR: Learn how to recognize a choking emergency and practise life-saving interventions so you feel more prepared at mealtimes.

Your registration also includes:
• A comprehensive e-book covering everything we discuss
• Practical, evidence-informed education you can use at home
• A 25% discount code for additional caregivers- perfect for grandparents, babysitters, or anyone else who looks after your little one!

A horror movie… but it’s just your baby eating solid food🎃

The gagging. The mess. The food EVERYWHERE. The anxiety of wondering if they’re eating enough or if you’re doing it right…

Starting solids can feel scary, but your baby is learning a brand-new skill, and learning takes practice (and a whole lot of mess!).

🧡 Join us October 20th for our Starting Solids, CPR & Choking Workshop at Bumbleboo Baby Boutique 🧡

We’ll help you feel more confident introducing solids, understanding what’s normal, and knowing what to do in an emergency.

Because feeding your baby shouldn’t feel like a horror movie👻

Not every feeding journey goes exactly as planned 🤍

Sometimes babies need temporary supplementation for medical reasons like jaundice, weight loss, low blood sugar, prematurity, or difficulty transferring milk. Sometimes moms need support while milk supply is being established.

Understanding pumping, bottles, and formula ahead of time can actually help protect breastfeeding and reduce so much stress in those early newborn days.

✨ We’ll be covering all of this in our Pumping, Bottles & Formula Workshop.

Designed to help parents feel confident, informed, and prepared for whatever feeding journey unfolds.

Prenatal education isn’t only about preparing Mom. It’s about preparing BOTH parents.

Your partner has an important role throughout pregnancy, labour, birth, and those early days at home. Knowing what to expect, how to support you, and when to speak up means you’re preparing as a team instead of trying to figure out your roles in the moment.

And let’s be honest—there is A LOT to learn before baby arrives.
That’s why we regularly run our Not Your Average Prenatal Class in Medicine Hat.

You and your partner can learn together, ask questions, and start building the teamwork you’ll rely on once your baby arrives.

Together, we’ll talk about:
✨ Preparing for the twists and turns labour and delivery can take
✨ How partners can support and advocate during birth
✨ Maternal mental wellness and what to watch for
✨ Practical newborn care for those early days at home
✨ What to expect as you adjust to life with your baby
✨ How to recognize when it’s time to reach out for additional support

You don’t need to have everything figured out before your baby arrives.
But you can walk into birth and early parenthood with more information, practical tools, and a partner who knows how to support you.

8 PM. Completely dark outside. Nobody should be awake.

But apparently we needed a full presentation on how tomatoes prevent bad dreams. 🍅

This is a family sleep intervention passed down from my husband’s childhood, so naturally it is now considered best practice in this household. As an RN + Mama Coach, I spend a lot of time talking about sleep science… but sometimes you just have to respect the family folklore. 😂

Do I know why it works? No.
Has it worked for generations? Apparently.
Will we be questioning the science? Absolutely not.

Anyway, tomatoes are now on the grocery list.✔️

We do everything together… apparently that includes our hair appointments 💇🏼‍♀️💇🏻‍♀️

After surviving summer holidays, we’ve decided every mom deserves a little “me time” before getting back to business as usual. First priority: fresh hair. Then we’re ready to get back on track.

Big shout out to Sarah at Studio Select for keeping our hair fresh!

what are YOU doing for yourself now that summer holidays are officially done? 👇🏼

I’m going to share something that’s a little vulnerable because I know I can’t be the only one who has felt this way. Its a post i’ve wrestled with writing for awhile... because honestly the internet is a scary place. I have two boys. One is 6 and the other is 3½. And if I’m being completely honest, my relationship with my postpartum body has probably been one of the hardest parts of motherhood. After my first baby, I was convinced I was going to “bounce back.” I wanted my old body back so badly. The body that felt familiar. The one I felt confident in. The one that could run half marathons and crush bootcamp classes without thinking twice.

So at six weeks postpartum, that’s exactly what I tried to do. I signed back up for bootcamp. I started running again. I even planned to train for another half marathon because that’s what I loved before kids. Early postpartum I was also struggling with my milk supply. My son wasn’t transferring milk well from the beginning, which caused my supply to drop, but if I’m honest, I also wasn’t taking care of myself the way I needed to. I wasn’t eating enough. Or I was eating too much- on this yoyo dieting cycle. Food became something I reached for when I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and emotionally drained. I felt inflamed. Tired. Six months postpartum I honestly still looked pregnant, and I didn’t like the way I looked at all.

When I became pregnant with my second, I promised myself things would be different. This time I educated myself. Instead of trying to “get my body back,” I focused on rebuilding it. I rehabbed my core slowly. I saw a pelvic floor physiotherapist. I was intentional with my meals, being mindful on not restricting food. I paid attention to my calories, sugar, protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats. I took the vitamins and minerals my body actually needed. And I didn’t rush back into exercise. I waited until I felt strong enough. My body didn’t necessarily look dramatically different this time. But it felt different. I felt strong. I felt capable. I wanted to move because it made me feel good, exercise became my “me time” and the mental break I needed. (more in the comments)

Let’s talk about “baby led weaning”

Not the method of but the actual progression of drinking breastmilk/ formula to consuming solids.

⭐️~6 months of age you will start offering solids to your baby. Watch for signs of readiness (sitting independently, good head control, interest in food, able to reach and bring objects to their mouth, loss of tongue thrust reflex) food at this age is for practice and to give a boost in iron

⭐️the method you use doesn’t matter too much at the beginning- practice responsive feeding, self feedinf and texture progression

⭐️by 9-12 months we want to see your baby taking off with solids and the weaning from breast milk/ formula to solids becomes more apparent. The transition to cows milk may start at this point as well

This progression is gradual, its baby led and it occurs at your baby’s own unique pace.
If you’re unsure how to start solids or wondering if your baby is on the right track, you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Sarah Clarke is a Registered Nurse who supports families with starting solids, feeding progression, and building a plan that fits your baby—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Whether you’re just getting started or feeling stuck with intake, textures, or next steps, she helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.
