Aren’t there different weaning stages?
Every baby develops at a different rate and so there are no hard and fast rules. The best way to find out if your baby is ready to eat new foods and textures is to simply try them. There are however thought to be 3 stages to weaning.
- 6 months – your baby is ready for smooth fruit and vegetable purees and baby cereals.
- 6- 9 months – you can start to introduce other foods like mashed rice, noodles or pasta, lentils and pulses, full-fat dairy products, such as yoghurt and fromage frais and puréed or mashed-up meat, fish and chicken. They can now eat mashed up foods with lumps and soft finger foods.
- 9-12 months - you can combine foods and your little one is working up towards eating minced and chopped up foods with the rest of the family. Your baby can start to eat harder finger foods.
