National Weaning Week will take place from 4-10th May this year. The aim of Weaning Week is to offer a supportive week and forum for families, experts, retailers and brands to come together and talk about weaning. Throughout the week, we are asking everyone to get on board and share support, information, recipe ideas and tips to make weaning easier and fun! Weaning Week’s mission is to help families feel empowered to wean their child as nutritiously as possible.

What is Weaning?

Weaning is a stage in your child’s development when solid foods are introduced into their diet. Several decades ago, babies would have been weaned when just a few months old. Nowadays however, the switch to solids is advised from the age of six months.
