The Initiativ Liewensufank has announced that it is holding a 2-hour workshop in English on How to Prepare Complementary Food for parents with infantson on Tuesday 16 February 2016 at its premises at 20 rue de Contern, L-5955 Itzig (1er étage, Salle de Cours 1).

Inbetween the 5th and 7th month the baby shows interest in "family food". It’s the time to slowly introduce complementary food and switch over to a more diversified diet. But how do I get started on the complementary food? When is the best moment to introduce it for the first time? What kinds of foods are suitable for my baby? What do I have to observe during the preparation and storage? Will this food provide my baby with all the nutrients it needs?...Parents ask these and many other questions!

This workshop will point out the current recommendations concerning complementary food and tries to respond to all your personal questions. It offers a great possibility to extend your know-how and provides concrete examples for the preparation of complementary food.
