I have three very good eaters and aside from a few hiccups, weaning was very successful. However, that didn’t mean I didn’t worry about what they could and couldn’t eat at certain ages and how much they should be having.<\/p>\n

10 things I learnt during the weaning journey<\/h2>\n

Feeding fun.<\/p><\/div>\n

1) Babies can eat prawns from six months<\/p>\n

2) From one year of age your child can eat brie, camembert and other mould-ripened soft cheeses (made with pasteurised milk)<\/p>\n

3) Raw kidney beans are poisonous (cooked kidney beans are fine)<\/p>\n

4) Children can’t eat honey until they are one due to the risk of botulism<\/p>\n

5) From six months babies can have cow’s milk added to their food and from one can have full fat milk as a main drink<\/p>\n

6) Little ones can have eggs in any shape or form, as long as they are well-cooked, from six months<\/p>\n

7) Think in terms of what your child has eaten in a week as opposed to during one meal or even during a whole day (easier said than done I know)<\/p>\n

8) It’s fine to pep food up with herbs and spices from 6 months. I’m talking about aromatic spices as opposed to ‘hot’ spices. \u00a0That said, I introduced my twins to chilli con carne, which included 1tsp of chilli powder, at around 9-10 months. You can find the recipe I use on this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9) You can give pureed meat, chicken or fish from six months (I started with milder-tasting fish and chicken before quickly moving onto red meats)<\/p>\n

10) You can give finger foods from six months. Large pieces\/slices\/chunks of steamed veggies, and fruits are ideal. As are sticks of cheese and grissini aka bread sticks (check for salt content though)<\/p>\n
