Weaning at 6 months

[19annie86]

I'm new to this but so far I have tried the following

Baby Rice and baby porridge (I know people don't recommend it anymore but want to get her used to texture)

Mashed up banana

Stewed apple

Have only started into week two, does this seem ok so far. Will start trying new things going forward

Introduce veggies otherwise he/she will only want the sweet stuff!
Carrots, peas, sweet potatoes...

That looks fine. You could introduce some more savoury flavours and some finger foods too, for example some mashed or pureed broccoli and give some broccoli florets for her to explore, practice picking up and tasting.

Sounds good! People can be weird about weaning so you’ll get lots of differing advice.

I would say don’t just offer sweet things as babies love them so much when you start to introduce things like broccoli they hate them. And that is stressful.

I used to give Dd a small milk feed in the morning and then have breakfast with her. I did BLW so slightly different but ends up the same eventually.

I would say start with some allergens now (peanuts, eggs, gluten, sesame, shellfish, etc) because the first reaction is usually mild but it’s when you give them the second/third time it starts getting worse. Keep an eye out for any reaction and call your dr if your child has one.

I noticed when she had banana her poo had small black stringy bits in it, but from what I have read this is normal

Hi I found the nhs weaning recipe really good to follow just for different first taste xxx
