Hi! Please send some advice or help I’m so lost 😮💨
My baby is almost 6 months old and I haven’t started her on any foods yet.
I’ve been trying to research and understand the best way to do it.
My question is, do I start with 1 food at a time or do I just go straight in with like meals? I don’t understand and there’s so much out there it’s confusing me so much 😂 What is everybody thinking for their little ones please?
Do I purée food up? Or do I just give her a broccoli stalk and hope for the best? 😂
Please send all help

I’m in the exact same situation my little boy turns six months in what I’m gonna do is introduce him to one small food each day along with some milk and just gradually build it up xx

Weaning is a minefield and often the more you read the more confusing and anxiety inducing. At the beginning you want to introduce 1 food at a time to watch for reaction (they usually say 3 times before you can safely say there's no allergy). It's up to you if you want to start with broccoli sticks or purees. With our first we started with purees to help keep anxiety at a low. Our nearly 6 month old is getting sticks of food and loving it.

Try the how to wean your baby book. Gives you a 30day plan. Lots of recipes too. The Joe Wicks book is very good. All very cheap on vinted

Spoke to my HV about it as I was exactly the same. HV advised that you treat the first 3-4 weeks as a taster and a “snack”. Feed baby with milk (however your normally feed them) and then in the morning or early afternoon give them a bland food to try. First few weeks should puréed; and then next step with a masher and after that with a fork and then finally as the food comes when cooked. Never give them anything in PM in case of allergic reactions. For allergen foods you can put it on their lips and cheeks first to see if they have a reaction.
