My ds is 22 weeks old and breastfed. My health visitor advised me today to start weaning him in the next couple of weeks. I've tried him with baby rice a couple of times over the past fortnight but he seemed to dislike it. I thought I maybe could try the baby porridge assuming it would be another bland carb-type food to mix with his milk but I noticed today the cow and gate porridge had vanilla and cinnamon and milk in it? Id rather not give him sweet or flavoured foods at this stage. Are these flavouring necessary? Is there another brand of porridge without added ingredients? Or could I make my own? Or is there another food I could try him with? Maybe potato? Sorry for all the questions! Just looking for a bit of advice!
