Weaning Recipes 6-12 Months
Here at Mummy Cooks we have put together a go to guide of recipes and advice for your weaning 6-12 month old baby. From six months it is important to move on with texture and offer finger food to your baby. Your baby is more accepting of new foods at this time and offering variety at this stage will ensure your baby will go through the weaning stages with ease!

Introducing Finger Foods
Finger food should be introduced as early as six months to get baby used to feeding themselves (baby-led-weaning). Although they may not fully master the pincer grab - holding foods between the forefinger and thumb until 7 months. It is good to familiarise them with the idea of finger foods early on so they go onto feed themselves.
