Let’s get together! Capital Health Network and Canberra Health Services Maternal and Child Health services invite Practice Nurses and other primary health care providers to a face-to-face educational evening focusing on transition to solids.
Introducing solid food is an important step in infant development. Practice Nurses are often the first health professional parents turn to for trusted advice on this topic. Whether it is an incidental question at a child development check or part of a more in-depth discussion about faltering development, it is essential for primary health care providers to be aware of the latest up-to-date advice and guidelines.

• Different approaches for introducing solids
• Stages (textures and sizes)
• What about food allergies and intolerances
• Any red flags
• Referral if there are issues
