Hi! Solid Starts is amazing. They have an app and an Instagram page.

I bought one of those suckers you can fill with fruit and stuff at first, I then moved on to things that dissolve in the mouth like the melts in the baby section, I then slowly moved on to toast and giving her fruit or veg in strips. I stuck with strips for a while as it gives them chance to hold them. I then went for purees which I slowly started to make myself that were a bit chunkier but still soft like veg soups x

The baby led weaning made easy book is amazing if that’s the route you want to go x So far my lo has had; broccoli, sweet potato, yogurt, porridge, banana, pear, avocado and toast. Alongside mashed versions of the things I’ve mentioned x You don’t necessarily need a baby blender, you can use any kind of blender even hand ones

@Louise thank you! Is your little one same age?

Another vote for solids starts, you do not need to pay for a subscription to access the part where it tells you how to serve and cut different types of food. It’s been amazing so far x

@Yasmin yes! He turned 6 months on Saturday x

We started with a single vegetable blended at a time.any hand blender will do. I got a cheap £6 one and it's amazing. You can always then put it through a sive after to make it smoother.

Hand blender from Asda for £10. Started off blending our dinners, veg pasta etc with a little water in it to make it less thick

Solid starts!

Where u buy those sucker things pls? Iv seen them they look good x

My girl is just over 6 mnths i started her weanin on the baby jar foods for 6mnths also brought a cheap blender from asdas so she has our meals blended aswell an when she reaches 7 mnths she will have blended foods with small little lumps so she will learn onwards.. also finger foods like baby rusks they melt in the mouth or baby wotsits etc xx

Bless ya ty 🙏 il buy one xx what can u put in them x

My girl was 6 months last week and I went straight for baby led weaning and I just give her some vegetables every day! Her first was banana (because she stole it) then lots of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, chicken, steak, gammon, yoghurts, weetabix etc. I just use solid starts to make sure it’s chopped properly. She puts it straight in her mouth but doesn’t swallow much yet 😅
