- Is my baby ready for solids? What do I give first? What if they gag, refuse, spit, or choke?
First foods bring their own particular flavour of worry. There’s the fear of choking, the BLW-versus-traditional debate nobody quite settles, and that nagging feeling that you might be starting too early or too late. Let’s get your baby’s food journey started the right way not with confusion, but with a plan you actually trust.
There’s a real difference between too early and too late, and once you know your baby’s physical and developmental cues, it stops being a guessing game.
The Indian foods worth starting with, how textures should progress from purée to actual chunks, and the allergens and off-limits foods to keep in mind before age one.
Charts by age, portion sizes that make sense, and a daily food routine timed around milk feeds, one you can actually plan and set rather than reinvent every day.
Baby-led and spoon-feeding aren’t rivals here. You’ll find the right blend, plus the utensils and finger foods that build real self-feeding confidence.
Most parents can’t tell gagging from choking on sight, and that’s the fear this module puts to rest along with the food shapes and mistakes worth avoiding.
A full library of Indian, home-style recipes with a cooking guide behind them, built to carry your baby’s eating habits well past the first bite

My baby is 4 months old. When should I enrol in this programme?
Whenever it works for you – you don’t need to wait until your baby’s ready. The readiness module will help you spot the right moment for your specific baby, and since you get 6 months of access, you can start watching now and put things into practice around 5.5 to 6 months, once your doctor has given the go-ahead.
Is this programme in Hindi?
It is. Everything – the recorded sessions, in Hindi. Materials and the Yum Food Diary – is available in English.
What is the difference between BLW and traditional weaning - and which is better?
Traditional weaning is purées and spoon-feeding; BLW hands your baby soft finger foods and lets them feed themselves from the start. Neither wins outright – each has its strengths. What this programme does is help you find the right mix for your baby’s temperament and stage.
My baby has been refusing all solid foods. Can this programme help?
It can. Refusal is more common than most parents expect, and it’s usually about timing, texture, or approach rather than the baby. We work through the sensory side of feeding and how to rebuild a positive relationship with food, without any pressure.
What does the 6 months WhatsApp support include?
From Care upward, you’re added to a WhatsApp group with a nutritionist from our team keeping an eye on it. Ask about specific foods, quantities, textures, reactions – anything feeding-related – and you’ll usually hear back the same day.
Is there guidance on introducing allergenic foods like eggs, nuts or dairy?
Yes, the safety module walks through the full allergen protocol – which ones to introduce, how much, in what order, and what reactions to watch for.
Can I access the programme on my phone?
You can, on any phone, tablet, or computer. Watch whenever your baby’s asleep or you happen to have a spare moment – there’s no fixed schedule to keep up with.
