my second son was 10lb10oz and had a serious appetite! i breastfed for 6 weeks until i could no longer keep up with the 2 hourly feeds, i then switched to formula for hungrier babies which kept him happy for another 6-7 weeks. at about 3 1/2 months i introduced baby rice which was soon followed by baby porridge. i was very worried about introducing this at such an early stage but i know he was ready for it. with both children, i started to make my own babyfoods with a babyblender at about 5 months and they loved it! i was happy as i knew exactly what they were eating too! i introduced lots of new tastes and textures over the next 12 months and i believe this has contributed to them being good eaters and not fussy eaters which makes mealtimes nice and easy!

I am a first time mummy, but I don't want that to cloud your judgement of me. Many will think I am inexperienced and "don't know what I am talking about", but I have been a big part in the upbringing of 9 nieces and nephews since I was 7 years old, so I have pretty much seen and heard it all. I have seen the baby weaning advice ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION When my little boy was about five months old i decided to wean him. Well in came the flood of anxiety, what do i feed him? When do i feed him? Will he choke? All these questions where playing over and over in my mind. I decided the best way to feed my son would be to make my own baby foods, i ...  Read the complete review

The reason I have chosen to write this piece is because I have weaned two little girls (my own) who have both ended up with very different eating habits, and I do actually think this is due to the differences in the way I introduced food to them, and how my attitude to mealtimes has changed over the last couple of years. So I hope I can ...  Read the complete review

I used to have my god daughter rather alot when she was younger and i used to open these jars full of jellied food that can sit on the shelves for 4years unrefrigerated and the thought of eating myself made me want to heave i was disgusted that this jellied blob of what they call food could pass food regulations! I understand ...  Read the complete review

Weaning can be one of them things which is either very easy or very difficult. Of course like us babies enjoy different tastes and smells, so getting them to try solid food is difficult enough but you have to try and give them things they enjoy and recognise the signs when they don't enjoy something. I was told not to start ...  Read the complete review

Weaning my son on to solid food was an experience I found enjoyable, terrifying, frustrating and very funny all at once. There's nothing quite like seeing your little baby laughing away as he covers himself in carrot puree, or the panic as he chokes on a lump which the blender hasn't quite managed to eliminate, the frustration as he ...  Read the complete review

I have three children aged 4.5, 2.5 and 1 and the advice for weaning changed with each of them. The current recommendation is to wait until your baby is 6mths old but it really is something that you need to decide yourself with advice from your health visitor. My first son was 4.5mths when we began weaning him, my daughter 5.5 ...  Read the complete review

I am the proud parent to 2 children, however they are both very different and their eating habits are very unique. Child 1 was born at 36 weeks and was bottlefed (not through choice), he ate bought baby food and was very difficult to wean. He really only enjoyed bland food and yoghurt, he also did not like textured food or finger ...  Read the complete review

Over the last 5 years of being a parent the advice I have been given from various sources has changed dramatically, and in general the advice on what you should/shouldn't be doing is confusing and daunting. I hope that I can write something that can help; I must have done something right as I have two fantastic eaters (touch ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to introducing your baby to food for the first time, it can be a daunting experience. I tried to feed my baby boy at the age of 4 months old for the first time. I read all the books and it seemed that this was the best time to introduce food. I was also hoping for a miracle cure for sleepless nights, and I thought that by ...  Read the complete review

In the first six months of a babies life they only need their formula milk. When six months has arrived babies are usually ready to start solid food. This is when i started introducing food to my baby and the timing was perfect. The baby will still need the formula milk to get all the key nutrients which they need. It ...  Read the complete review

I am extremely lucky and have had two easy weaning processes and I also enjoyed it immensely. My son I weaned at 5 months and my daughter was 7 1/2 months, I think as a mummy you know when your baby is ready or not. I am very paranoid about doing everything I can possibly do in order to try and help my children not ...  Read the complete review

Babies get most of their nutrition from milk until they are 1, so the food that you give them before then is about them learning to eat. Exploring new tastes and textures. Learning to put it in their mouths, learning to bite off the right amount, chew it, move it around inside theirs mouths, swallow it. Learning how different things feel ...  Read the complete review

Being a first time mum I wanted to do everything right for my son , the health visitor said not to wean until he was 6 months old but at 4 months he was starving . So I decided to start giving him some baby rice , just a couple of spoonfuls , my son loved his rice and each day he would want more and more. From there we tried banana ...  Read the complete review

Being a parent isn't always as easy as it looks. There are many milestones in the first six months or so of a baby's life and weaning is one of them. When do you start? What do you give them? How much do you give them? The questions can go on and on, and if you have no support this can be a daunting time. Legislation is ...  Read the complete review

As a chef I was really looking forward to weaning our baby, I imagined lots of wonderful dishes I could cook up for you son however it did not turn out quite as I expected. The health visitor told us that the baby needed to be weaned at 6 months which shocked me because my mother told me it was 3 or 4 months and I had been devising ...  Read the complete review

The weaning advice at the moment is 6 months, however I started weaning my son at 4 1/2 months. I was just so tired, he went from sleeping around a 6 hour stretch to waking for a feed 2-3 hourly. I had endured all the so called 'growth spurts' I could take, he needed something else. We started him off on baby rice mixed with formula. He ...  Read the complete review
