Some recipes for adults can be used to feed a baby, in smaller portions and cut or mashed up small. However, many recipes should be tailored to meet the nutritional needs and palate sensitivities of the weaning baby specifically.
The following recipe is for a family favourite: Shepherd’s pie, including a medley of vegetables to meet nutritional requirements and with toned down flavors to please baby’s digestive system and palate.
Fortified boxed infant cereal is certainly not the only food to introduce to baby when considering weaning. Under normal circumstances, from six months onward, baby is able to try a variety of foods, provided they are pureed to a texture they can manage.
Introducing new recipes to baby at an early age will aid in the weaning process as he or she becomes interested in different flavors and textures of food, and less interested in only nursing for mealtime.
Baby’s weaning process starts when he or she crosses 6 months age. Weaning is a systematic process, which progresses gradually in three stages, and there are different weaning recipes suggested for each stage. The very first stage of weaning lies from 6 to 8 months, second stage starts from eight to ten months transitional & third stage starts from 10 months to a year age.
