Description:
This booklet provides advice about the stages involved in
helping babies make the move from milk only to joining in
family meals. Based on new guidance issued by the DHSSPS,
it emphasises the recommendation that weaning should begin
when a baby is six months old. It provides details about
the foods and textures that are appropriate at each stage
and what foods need to be avoided. The booklet also includes
information about suitable drinks for this age group, guidelines
for dealing with fussy eaters, the use of vitamin supplements
and weaning onto a vegetarian diet.
