When to start weaning
Weaning is a big and exciting milestone in a baby’s development - but knowing exactly when to start can feel a little confusing. That’s where our easy-to-follow guide comes in.
The When to start weaning resource (available to download below) walks you through the three key signs to look for before offering those very first tastes - usually around 6 months. These signs show that a baby is ready to start exploring solid food, while still getting most of their goodness from breast milk or formula.
You’ll also find helpful information on common myths (like waking at night or chewing fists), and clear advice on why waiting until around 6 months makes all the difference for little tummies.
Whether you're a parent, carer, or early years practitioner, this guide is here to support confident, calm, and well-timed weaning, with no pressure and no fuss.
