Some top weaning tips from Organix
- As a first food, try mixing baby rice with your baby's usual milk, offering a small amount on the end of a weaning spoon. Don't worry if your little one doesn't take to it at first or if the first mouthful comes straight back up. It can take up to 14 attempts for them to take a new food.
- Each day, offer your baby extra teaspoons of food as they become more adept at eating. Once they are happy with baby rice, try introducing foods such as puréed or well-mashed fruit and veg.
- After a few days, try offering solid foods more frequently, for example at breakfast and lunchtime.
- It is important to offer a variety of different nutritious foods to help support your baby's growth and development. A balanced diet is easy to achieve if you offer different foods at each meal. Start their day with a breakfast cereal suitable for babies with no added salt and sugar. Offer a main meal with meat or fish mixed with potato or rice and some vegetables. For a third meal offer a fruit purée.
- By seven months, your baby should be eating three meals a day. You can keep experimenting with new flavours and more complex textures as you go. This will help to avoid a fussy eater later on. To encourage self-feeding, from seven months to 12 months, offer finger foods with every meal.
* Remember the Department of Health and World Heath Organisation recommend nothing but breastfeeding for the first six months. Milk feeds should provide sufficient energy and nutrients for growth and development until your baby reaches six months of age.
