BABY LED WEANING RECIPES

These baby led weaning recipes are great for babies from six months old. The recipes are easy to make, tasty and nutritious. They are low in sodium, contain no added sugars or sweeteners and the majority contain fruit or vegetables.

Search this category for recipes your baby can enjoy at home or out and about. You will find breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack and side options that hopefully your baby will love.

Baby-led weaning recipes are often considered as finger foods,  however, it isn't limited to just this.

Most of these family meals are already baby-friendly or can be adapted so your baby can join in. By doing this babies are exposed to a variety of tastes and textures. Allow your baby to explore foods and get messy!

Don't forget soup! Even though it isn't the easiest thing to serve babies at first, many soups can be made thicker to be more nutrient-dense and to make self-feeding easier.

Enjoy mealtimes with your baby with simple, healthy, nutritious food.
