Weaning — Mimi's Bowl

Second Tastes and Foods

This is the second part, in a four-part series on weaning, written in conjunction with our paediatric dietician. These four key stages are based on how I approached weaning, with both my own children. Here are my clear goals, to make the whole process easier, less complicated and more enjoyable. However, every baby is different, if you have any concerns or questions please consult your personal Health Care Advisor.

First Tastes and Foods

This is the first of a series of four blog posts about weaning, which I hope will clearly lead you through the first year of food with your baby. All babies are different and what works for one baby, may not work for another. Everything from their appetites, sensitivities to taste and touch, will vary. So my key piece of advice is to be flexible and adapt your baby meal plan as you go. Trust your instincts as a parent: you know your baby best.

Weaning and What to Buy?

An updated list for my basic weaning starter kit, including some new finds.

In my experience you can waste so much money and simple really is best.
