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.
CAN I START THE COURSE AT ANY TIME
Yes, of course as soon as you purchase the course you will gain access. You will have 12 weeks to complete the course.
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.

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.
We 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.
I am so grateful and thankful for the opportunity to take part in the mummy cooks course.Grace is my 3rd girl and we learnt so much from the course.The online videos and tutorials were so helpful. I never realised the importance of having a footrest on the high chair and also the importance of introducing the beaker so early.It was a really informative class. The allergen section in particular helped me as my girl has a cows milk protein allergy.I will definitely be recommending it to all my friends.The live Q and A was also very helpful. So handy to type the questions and get the answers straight away and to hear what other mothers have to say.It's definitely a 5 star course!
I found it extremely helpful, putting my mind at ease as a first time mammy. Giving your baby solid food can be daunting but with all the information and help given, it put my mind at ease. I loved the schedules and found them extremely helpful, making it easier to plan food for her. Batch cooking is essential when weaning and the schedule for cooking purées was helpful. I loved the allergy schedule, knowing that I was following a plan made me feel better about it. The Facebook live was helpful as I felt you could ask any question and with weaning you always have them in your head. Schedules were my favourite!
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. The guest expert video talks were a fantastic addition! For anyone who wants to making the weaning experience with your child an enjoyable and memorable one, this course is a must!
I would highly recommend mummy cooks weaning classes. When Ethan was reaching 5 months I was getting nervous about hearing the weaning word everywhere. I was a little overwhelmed with all the information available and to be honest I didn’t know where to even start. Than I came across Mummy Cooks 4 week weaning class. Week by week the classes were all structured. The videos were very informative along with notes that were provided on the website. I also enjoyed the Facebook page where members put up any issues they were having. If you faced any difficulty in the week, the course provided a weekend Facebook live. After viewing the classes I am much more confident about feeding my baby. A couple of things I was scared about were finger food and introducing allergens. After watching the videos on these classes I have gained a lot more confidence and introducing these to my baby went smoothly. I would highly recommend especially if your not confident about the weaning process.
If you want your baby to join your family at every meal time then this is the course for you. Takes the stress out of wondering if what you’re doing is right and wrong. Highly recommend this course if you’re beginning your weaning journey and want expert advice at every step of the way.
I really enjoyed the weaning course, it came at a perfect time for us as Rebecca is 6 months old this week so we were able to get started while following the course content. There was so much I never knew about from what kind of equipment was needed to information on allergens. I found the downloadable guides so handy and will be using the recipes for a long time to come. Thanks again!
I just wanted to say thank you for the course. I’m about to start weaning for the fourth time and I still learned some new and helpful tips by doing the course.Siobhan has lots of useful advice and tips and her recipes are great inspiration.
