Easy to cook family foods for your baby

The recommended age to introduce solids is around six months, and at this age babies can easily be moved on to a mixed diet. By about this time, your baby will be developing the skills of holding objects and putting them to the mouth to suck and showing signs of being interested in the food you and your family are eating.

It is important that you don’t wean your baby too early (before 17 weeks) because your baby’s digestive system and kidneys will be too immature to cope with solid food.

If you are concerned about anything to do with introducing foods to your baby, you should discuss it with your health visitor.
