1. What are the guidelines for weaning?
National guidelines advocate introducing your baby to solid foods at 6 months
old, with the introduction of herbs and spices 8 months and older. Your baby
grows more in the first year of life than at any other stage in their
development, so it’s vitally important that your little one gets all of the right
nutrients from the food that they eat.
Our halal baby food pouches are a convenient way to feed your little one
a meal packed with vital, natural ingredients and spices.
We want to dispel the myth that baby food has to be bland - if your baby is
coping well with solid foods and does not seem to have any digestive upsets,
then jump right in and start to experiment with the spices!
2. Tastes start to solidify at 2 years old - so it's important your child has tried meat, fish, poultry,
starchy foods and wide variety of fruit and vegetables
Like any other new foods remember to follow the ‘4 day wait rule’ - there’s an
excellent post summarising this over at Momtastic’s Wholesome Babyfood
blog.
