Baby Weaning

The UK Government, in line with the WHO recommendations, now advises parents to introduce solids into their baby's diet at around six months. At six months old, most babies have strong necks and can sit up if they are supported. Their hand-eye coordination has developed to the extent that they can reach out and start to grasp food and grip it in their palms.

Although the Department of Health advises parents to start the weaning process at six months with mashed foods, it also recommends including finger foods in your baby's diet as soon as your baby is ready to do so.
