Tips for Successful Weaning
Make weaning a social experience from the beginning
Use a plastic spoon as it feels better for your baby and is sterilised more easily
Give your baby a spoon as soon as he or she can hold one
Start with bland foods and make them almost as liquid as milk
Give your baby one taste at a time, that way you will know better which they prefer and can detect any adverse reactions
Stick with the same two or three foods for a few days before moving on
Don't rush a feed time with your baby
Offer solid foods once or twice a day for the first month
Use a bib and put something down on the floor to catch any mess
Never put solid foods in a bottle
