Here’s some of the information the NHS weaning page – click the link below to see the videos and read more info! This includes advice such as:
‘a ready or not weaning quiz’
‘how to start weaning your baby’
‘what to fed your baby’
and ‘safe weaning’.
Please let us know when you are weaning your baby and what stage you are at so we can mirror the support here for your baby. We are always keen to encourage children to pick up their own food to explore it with their hands before moving on to use a spoon. Keep us updated as to your progress at home and we’ll do the same here when we notice progress too 🙂
Introducing your baby to solid foods, also referred to as weaning or complementary feeding, starts when your baby is around 6 months old.
Your baby should be introduced to a varied diet, alongside their usual breast milk or first infant formula.
It can be confusing knowing when and how to start introducing solid foods. We’re here to guide you through the weaning journey and explain what it all means.
We’ve got expert NHS advice, helpful videos, tips from other parents, and lots of simple, healthy weaning recipe and meal ideas. https://www.nhs.uk/start-for-life/baby/weaning/
