The place to learn about weaning without breaking the bank

Weaning Centre by Porter Nutrition

Weaning can be very daunting as a new parent. I remember the feeling well. I wanted to give my baby the best food but I didn’t have ages to spend in the kitchen and I didn’t have a big budget. Every baby is precious and I firmly believe that every baby deserves the best food regardless of the budget their parents and carers have.

I have heard so many parents say that the pictures on social media and in baby recipe books look amazing but they simply don’t look realistic. My approach to weaning is to help you find a way which works for your family situation. I will show you the principles of a healthy balanced diet for baby and share experiences from my own journey.

Use the tabs to find the information you are after, and if you can’t find the information you want, get in touch. Your question may prompt the creation of another page of information to help other people or we can have a private chat about what you are asking.

Great course! I found I so helpful to talk to someone about my context rather than just read a book. Would highly recommend!

Aliya helped me to review the supplements I was taking and I have also made some positive changes in my food choices following my appointments. I appreciated the input from a professional rather than replying on my own research as it felt a bit overwhelming to make important decisions about supplements & nutrition on my own. Aliya was easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and non-judgemental about the areas I was struggling with.

I can't recommend Aliya enough for anyone seeking application support for ANutr registration. Aliya guided me through the whole process with ease, professionalism and efficiency. She provided incredibly helpful resources for getting started with the process and was always on hand to answer any queries. The 121 session with Aliya was incredibly beneficial and provided me with a clearer direction and understanding of what my portfolio needed to include. I will definitely use Aliya's services again and would recommend anyone in the process of ANutr and RNutr registration to reach out to Aliya, she really is fantastic!

Being a first time parent can be daunting, but the courses at Porter Nutrition have ensured that I have plenty of confidence when it comes to mealtime and ensuring my little one has exactly what he needs to thrive. I’ve attended two courses at Porter Nutrition - the first on eating while pregnant and the second as a weaning course. Both were conducted mostly online. Aliya is a fantastic teacher and takes any question you can throw at her. Her class feels like a true safe space and it’s clear she is someone you can trust. Her hand outs are particularly helpful, so even if you aren’t the best note taker you have a handy reference to review later. Porter Nutrition has given me the tools I need to not only plan nutritious and fun meals for my family - but also to help encourage a healthy relationship with food. Would definitely recommend!!!

Aliya gave me lots of very good information regarding nutrition, allowing me to lead a very fit and healthy life style whilst being accomadating of my vegetarian diet. I was always good at exercising, however with Aliyas nutritional information, I was able to maximise my recovery and energy levels during my exercise. She gave me peace of mind regarding nutrition, moving beyond what I may read online and focusing on attainable healthy goals / changes. Focusing on long term sustainable changes rather with realistic and incremental adaptations. I'd definitely recommend her services for anyone seeking advice for how to make changes to the nutrition in a healthy way.

I attended Aliya's first foods course in sept '24 to learn about how to wean my baby. The course was very informative and helpful in getting me started on my weaning journey. Since we've been very successful at getting our little one to enjoy eating a healthy, balanced diet. He loves his vegetables, especially broccoli, and is happy and open to explore new textures, flavours and tastes. Aliya was incredibly knowledgable about the topic and answered all my questions fully. We are very grateful for all the advice and support Aliya has given us on weaning our baby.

I contacted Aliya Porter for help in regulating my diet and lowering my cholesterol levels. I had been given conflicting details in the past about which foods to eat - and which to avoid - so visiting Aliya and being given the beneficial information from her was really helpful. I would recommend her services to anyone.

I worked with Aliya in her capacity as a mentor and educator for other nutrition professionals. Her guidance for my Association for Nutrition accreditation reinstatement proved to be invaluable and I don't know how I could have done it without her. I highly recommend Aliya's services for fellow nutritionists.

I have just read Aliya’s article ‘feeding our teenagers’. I found it really interesting and it has helped me understand why our 11 year old son has started to need so much more food! He is really active and sporty so it would useful to know a little more about how we can best meet his nutritional needs - maybe an idea for a future article?
