Passcode: maeve

We are incredibly honored to have MAEVE Mt. Washington member, Dr. Eliza Binstock, lead a "by popular demand" presentation. 

This topic came about organically in the Lemurs group, after several Maevens started asking thoughtful questions about beginning solids. If you’re at that stage—or approaching it and feeling curious, unsure, or even a little overwhelmed—you’re very much in the right place.

We’ll start with a brief, practical overview of how to begin solids, including signs of readiness and what those early weeks can realistically look like. We’ll also talk openly about common fears and concerns (yes, many of them are shared!), as well as issues that often come up once you’ve started. There will be time spent on introducing straws and cups, and we’ll wrap up by sharing helpful, trustworthy resources you can refer back to later.

This is designed to feel supportive and conversational, not like a lecture. You don’t need prior experience, and you don’t need to already know anyone. Come listen, ask questions if you’d like, or just soak it in. Whether you’re feeling confident, cautious, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome here—and you’ll likely leave feeling more grounded and reassured.

Dr. Eliza Binstock is a mom of two young girls and a pediatric occupational therapist with nearly 10 years of experience. After spending 6–7 years as the Director of Occupational Therapy at an outpatient pediatric clinic, she recently started her own in-home pediatric OT practice following the birth of her second child last year.

She specializes in sensory integration assessment and intervention, feeding, and the transition to solids, and serves Northeast Los Angeles (NELA) and surrounding areas. Dr. Binstock is passionate about sharing knowledge with families, supporting learning through connection, and building confidence during early developmental transitions.

Open to friends, neighbors, and the community.
