The first thing you may want to try is baby rice mixed with your baby’s usual baby milk or breast milk. It is easily digestible and provides a good dose of nutrients and vitamins. if this is the first time, try making the mixture a little thinner to make it easy for your baby to digest.

Once your baby is comfortable with baby rice, start to introduce different flavours to the rice by adding a pureed fruit or vegetable. You may find your baby developing likes and dislikes for certain flavours. This is an enjoyable part of weaning as your baby is using their tastebuds for the first time and may be pleasantly surprised but what you’re giving him!

Don’t be perturbed by your baby’s refusal to eat a certain food. You can always try again in a week or so.

To ensure the best start for your baby, try and make you source organic food. It may cost a little more but it’s worth it to give your little ones a healthy and nutritious start to life!

We would recommend limiting your baby’s intake of sugar by only feeding them one or less sweet foods per day.

If there is a history of allergies, asthma or eczema in your or your partner’s family, try to avoid milk products (cow’s milk, cheeses and yogurts), any fish including shellfish, citrus fruit and their juices or eggs, until your baby is around eight months old. We would also recommend avoiding peanuts or sesame seeds if your family suffers from such allergies, until up to the age of three years.

You may also want to consider avoiding foods containing gluten such as wheat, oats and rye in order to reduce the risk of coeliac disease. This includes any bredas, pastas or cereals made from these ingredients until eight months old.

Note : Please do NOT add salt or sugar to your babies food or to any of the baby weaning recipes found on this site. Your baby’s kidneys cannot process it effectively and may cause damage. There is plenty of natural salt in the food for now.
