How long do I have access to the course
You will have an additional 8 weeks after the course ends
What age should my baby be to start this course?
We think it is best to start the course when your baby is aged between 0 and 6 months. As this course covers starting your feeding journey if your baby is 7 months you will not find it as beneficial. We will be launching a follow on course about weaning from 6 months coming soon so keep an eye out and sign up to register your interest below.
How do I access the course? Can I access it on my mobile?
You can access the course via Teachable.com or alternatively you can download the app (we would suggest you do). At the moment the app is only available on IOS, however you can still access it via your phone through the website.
Is it ok to sign up after the course has started?
Yes, of course however we would advise that you do only in the first week so that you get the most out of the live sessions. Our course is self-led and you can consume the information whenever you have the time.
Can I join the course from anywhere in the world and will the guidelines be the same?
Yes, you can join the course from anywhere in the world. There are some differences from country to country in terms of foods however most of the advice is research based and applies to any child, so we would love to have you on board.
Can I check out in my own currency?
Yes we currently accept payment in EUR, GBP, USD, CAD and AUD
What is your refund policy?
You are entitled to a full refund within one week of your payment, in accordance with Distance Selling regulations, provided that the course has not already started. We cannot refund fees in respect of cancellation after this time but we can facilitate a transfer to the course at a different date. We cannot offer partial refunds to students who do not finish a course. In the event that you are unable to complete the course within the intended time period, please contact academy@mummycooks.com to discuss an extension.
Why should i choose the premium package?
Do you feel like you need an extra helping hand in achieving your weaning goals? If so, the premium package is for you. We will initially ask you to answer a questioner to see if you are suitable for the 1:1 consultation. If suitable Siobhan will do a 1:1 video call to get you set up for the course. Following this Siobhan will support you directly each week as you move through the course with a video call each week. On completion of the course Siobhan will work with you on a plan for the next six months of weaning and provide you with any material you might require.
Siobhan has become synonymous with weaning and feeding recipes and advice both online, in print and media. In the Mummy Cooks Academy Siobhan lays out all her advice and recipes that she has curated through her years of experience teaching weaning classes. Our ‘Starting Your Baby’s Feeding Journey’ course specifically focuses on introducing your baby to solid food.
Siobhan is SOS trained in strategies on feeding fussy or problem eaters and has a certificate in infant nutrition. Siobhan also engages with experts to give a full 360 view on feeding young children, and all advice given is in line with HSE and NHS guidelines.
Siobhan will be your knowledgeable guide as you begin to wean your baby onto solid food. She describes in detail all aspects of feeding, including how and when to start, moving on at six months and how to prevent a fussy eater.
As a course participant, each week you will be able to engage with Siobhan through our Facebook Live session - available for course participants only. We also run a weekly Q&A on Instagram Stories every Wednesday 10-11. Our Starting Your Baby’s Feeding Journey course gives you the best start when weaning your baby!
Happy Feeding
What a great course! We've both learnt so much about feeding Cooper - and he has been loving all of the recipes that we've tried.There is so much information provided and having the weekly consultation with Siobhan has been great to answer all of our questions.It's also been great to be able to access the course when suits us, especially with having a small baby.The combination of practical advice, meal plans, recipes and direct guidance has made us feel much more confident in weaning Cooper.
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. Since myself and my partner both work, I was big into the idea of batch cooking healthy meals that we could all eat. Now that I’ve done the course, I still have that ongoing support from our online group of parents at a similar stage too.
