Arabella, baby feeding advisor and mum

Working as a Cow & Gate baby feeding advisor I’ve talked to lots of parents about how to provide a healthy balanced weaning diet. Introducing your baby to solid food is a huge milestone, so I offer advice to help make the process a lot easier (and hopefully much more fun) for parents and their babies.

My top tips

• Routines don’t always last long! You think you’ve got it sussed and then a new ‘stage’ comes along. Remember, babies are always ‘going through a phase’.  
• If your baby’s not keen on vegetables, try adding apple juice as a natural sweetener.
• Don’t give up and offer alternatives if your baby rejects meals; they won’t let themselves go hungry!

About me

There was never a dull moment bringing up my children, especially when I was trying to establish a routine. But I use what I’ve learned to help other Cow & Gate mums and I get great job satisfaction when I know I’ve made a difference.
