Welcome to the first episode of season 3! This season is hosted by Chloe (BDS3) and Sophia (BDS2) - dental students from the University of Manchester.

In this episode, we had the pleasure of talking to Raphaella Rookes (BSc) - a Paediatric Dietitian with 12 years of experience. She is also the Professional and Clinical Lead for the Nutrition and Dietetic service, at an NHS trust in the South West. Raph is the founder of “Latch to Ladle” – a bespoke paediatric nutrition company for infants, toddlers and children.

This episode we answer the following questions:

- What is weaning?

- What age should weaning start?

- What are the different approaches to weaning and which is correct?

- Does teething affect the weaning process?

- When should you introduce open cups?

- Can infants safely wean to a vegan diet?

We hope that you find this episode useful!
