How this booklet will help you

Friends and relatives may give you lots of different advice and make weaning seem confusing or like a race. But it is neither. To give your baby the best chance of a good start in life use the up-to-date information in this booklet where you’ll find tips, advice and recipes for weaning.

This easy-to-read booklet will give you information on the different stages of weaning. Because all babies develop differently, it is easier to give guidance on stages rather than ages. As a rough guide, babies who don’t start weaning too early can progress quite quickly through the first stage.
