Baby-led weaning
First foods, purées and finger foods the community has saved from real cooking videos — with the ingredients and steps written out, so you are not scrubbing back through a Reel with a baby on your hip.
These recipes come from the community, not from a paediatric dietitian. Textures and stages are a rough guide only. Check with your health visitor or doctor about what is right for your baby, and see the NHS weaning guidance on allergens and choking hazards.
Purées and mashes
Smooth textures — the usual starting point before finger foods.
