Steamed Organics - freshly steamed food for weaning your baby

Weaning with our Organic Baby Food

Weaning is your baby's first taste of solid foods. Before this, she will have been on a diet of either breast or formula milk. Your baby will need to master the action of pushing the food from the front of her mouth to the back in order to swallow. This is different from the sucking motiion she will be used to. Use a small soft spoon, for babys mouths are delicate, and talk to your baby while you feed her. Weaning should be a pleasure for you both, so relax and  enjoy your time together. Baby rice is a good food to introduce at the very begining, mixed with her milk.  Six months old is the average age to start weaning, but this can vary depending on each childs weight and appetite. At this time it is important that your baby also has plenty of milk as this is still the main stay of her diet. She will probably only be ready for a few spoonfulls at first. When you feel she is ready, progress to our steamed fruit and vegetables, again remember little is best as your baby is just tasting new flavours.  Perhaps to start with, you may need to add a little milk to make it easier to swallow, remembering that milk is still the most important part of her diet.
