Here's what our students are saying... 

"The course was absolutely fantastic, super easy to get through online and as someone who’s highly anxious about choking and finger foods I’ve come away from it feeling a lot more educated on what to do if there is an emergency or incident when doing solids with my bub. Thanks ladies for an awesome course, highly recommend any parents starting solids to complete this."
KAty Robinson
"Cradle and Kin's Starting Solids First Aid course boosted my confidence in starting my son on solids. The course delivers everything you need to know to keep your little one safe in a clear, detailed manner that is easy to follow. Being able to do the modules at my own pace in between feed and nap times was a massive bonus of doing the course online. I now look forward to meal times with my boy". 
VANESSA RANKIN
"Im a first time mum and my son just started his solids journey. This has been exciting, but also has me riddled with anxiety when it comes to introducing allergens and choking. This course has given me the confidence to identify the signs of allergies, anaphylaxis and choking and how to effectively respond in these situations. As a bonus, I have the printables that have been stuck to my fridge as reminders of what to do".
