Weaning Tips
Weaning your baby is a massive step and can be both a really exciting and worrying time. It can be difficult to know where and how to start. Here are some tips to get you started.
- Your baby should start to show signs that they are ready to move on to solid foods at around 6 months - they’ll tend to be more hungry and will need more than breast milk or formula to meet their needs
- You can either start weaning by spoon-feeding your baby or you can try baby-led weaning where you allow your child to try to feed themselves or use a combination of both
- Your baby only needs a small amount of solid food, once a day at a time that suits both you and your baby
- Start weaning your child with single vegetables and fruits - you could try them mashed or blended or cut sticks of parsnip, broccoli, potato or carrot and cook them so they are soft
- You could also start the weaning process by mixing baby rice with your baby’s usual milk
- Always ensure that any cooked food has cooled fully before allowing your baby to eat it
