This morning has two parts. The first is for you. The second is for your baby.
Latching On is a series built around the parts of motherhood that deserve more than a passing mention. Not the highlight reel. The actual experience. Good food, honest conversation, and a room full of women who are in it right now.
P.S. The goodie bags alone are worth showing up for.
Panel 1: The Mom 11:00 — 11:45am
The first six months change everything. Your body, your mind, your relationships, your sense of self. Most people don't want to talk about it once you're in it. This panel does.
Rachel Baker, Founder & CEO of LBDO, and Julia Huff, WHNP, PMHNP, Reproductive Psychiatry NP, join Gina for an honest conversation about the mental and emotional weight of early motherhood — identity, body image, the parts of yourself that feel far away, and the very real question of sex after baby. The physical side and the emotional side.
Panel 2: The First Bite 12:15 — 1:00pm
Purees or baby led weaning. Solids at four months or six. The noise around feeding your baby is loud and the guilt that comes with it is louder. This panel is about cutting through all of it.
A pediatric nutritionist, Nicole Silber, RD, CSP, CLC, Owner of Nicole Silber Nutrition and Tiny Tasters and mom of 3, joins Gina to walk through what the research actually says, what your instincts are probably already telling you, and how to introduce food in a way that works for your baby and your life.
Kitchen Demo with Gina 1:15pm
A hands-on demo built entirely around firsts! Purees, BLW, and allergen introduction. Made simply and adaptable for every feeding approach. You'll leave with recipes you'll actually use and the confidence to use them. Because feeding your baby should feel like nourishment, not a test you're failing.
