Maeve - Graduate
"I absolutely love the mummy cooks course. It has made our weaning journey so much easier. The advice and recipes are invaluable because its setting my baby up with healthy eating habits for life. When I started following the routine for feeding straight away by baby started taking longer naps. I cant thank you enough Siobhan! "
Peter - Graduate
As a first time dad I was really interested in learning more about the best way to introduce my daughter to solid foods. I like to think I’m pretty handy in the kitchen and really enjoy cooking, but I’d no idea of what was involved in weaning. This is where the Mummy Cooks online course came in really useful. I could watch the videos and read the supporting text as and when I had time, while Siobhan was on hand to answer any of my questions in our weekly group chats online.
Aveen Bannon - Dietician
"How to make food tasty and healthy can be a challenge for many parents…but I am loving the suggestions and ideas that Siobhan offers here. There are a multitude of great nutritious colourful recipes along with some helpful tips on how to get kids positively engaged with food. What I really love is that these are dishes that the whole family can enjoy. I also love her cookbooks with original and clever ideas."
Roisin - Graduate
"I would absolutely recommend this course for anyone starting to wean, it has had a hugely positive impact on how our introduction to weaning went! From helpful schedules and timelines, video recipes and advice, to the weekly personal access with Siobhan, I felt so looked after on the course. There is a wonderful community spirit associated with the course also, as the facebook group gives you the opportunity to share experiences with fellow participants."
