Weaning News

Is it really safe to let your baby feed itself while you’re driving? The short answer is no.

Letting your little one discover the world of food for themselves is a great way to improve their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Figuring out how to grab hold of food and bring it to their mouths is a great step forward in their weaning journey, but it’s hard to know what foods to put in front of them.

Our gut plays a larger part in our lives than most people realise. While its main job is to digest and absorb food, removing any waste in the process, it also has an impact on our overall health.

Changing to solid food after around 6 months on a liquid diet is quite the challenge for tiny tummies. At this point in their development, baby’s gut is incredibly sensitive and vulnerable, but probiotics can help to give them extra support through their weaning journey

There are a few things to consider when it comes to the timing of starting your little one on solid foods. The first thing is to make sure they are displaying the 3 developmental signs, the second is to think about the time of day and the third is to think about what works for you.
