What's Weaning?
Weaning is the process of introducing solid foods alongside breast milk or a baby’s usual infant formula.
Complementary feeding is the term often preferred by practitioners, but most people use the word weaning instead.
Where Can I Find Reliable Information?
The Best Start in Life (BSiL) website is a Dept. of Health & Social Care tool to help support your family on your complementary feeding journey.
The Introducing Solid Foods section is full of helpful guidance around topics like ‘How to start weaning your baby’ and ‘Safe weaning’.
There are sections linked to a handy collection of recipes and meal ideas—filterable by age and meal type—and a Ready or Not Weaning Quiz, which can help families identify whether their baby is ready for complementary feeding.
