Weaning Support in Surrey

Specialist weaning support across Surrey, at home, at nursery or online, for babies who are gagging, refusing lumps or not yet enjoying solids.

Starting solids is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially if your baby is gagging, refusing food, or you're unsure where to begin. Weaning support from a feeding specialist can help you feel confident and calm, rather than second-guessing every spoonful.

Learn to Feed started in Woking, and we support Surrey families at home, at nursery or online, with practical, evidence-based advice tailored to your baby, from Woking and Guildford to Weybridge, Chertsey and Camberley.

How We See Families

Home visits

We visit families at home across Surrey, so we can see your child in their everyday space and build strategies that fit your family.

Nursery visits

With your permission, we can visit your baby's nursery or childminder to support staff with weaning at mealtimes.

Online sessions

Online sessions are available wherever you live, and fit easily around work, naps and school runs.

Working Alongside Your Local Team

Your health visitor is often the first person you'll talk to about starting solids. We're happy to work alongside them and your GP, and with your consent we'll share what we're working on, so the advice you get is clear and consistent.

Weaning doesn't only happen in the high chair. Sharing a snack at a baby group, a picnic in a Surrey park or lunch at a grandparent's are all part of your baby learning that food is safe and sociable, and we'll help you make the most of those moments.

Weaning Support in Surrey: FAQs

Is there a private weaning specialist in Surrey who does home visits?
Yes. Learn to Feed offers private weaning support across Surrey, including Woking, Guildford, Weybridge, Addlestone and Camberley, with home visits, nursery visits and online sessions, depending on therapist availability. Our therapists are HCPC-registered Speech and Language Therapists specialising in infant feeding. A weaning support session is £150 in person or £90 online. Get in touch to book.
My baby is 7 months old and still not interested in solids. Should I worry?
Some babies take a little longer to warm up to solids, and that can be completely normal. It's worth getting support if your baby is consistently refusing, gagging or distressed at mealtimes, isn't moving on from very smooth textures by around 9 months, or if you're worried about their growth. We look at their readiness, oral skills and sensory responses, and give you practical next steps.
