Getting ready for weaning!

This episode is for parents and carers who are thinking about starting weaning. We talked about: When you should start weaning and the guidelines for this. What weaning is. The signs to look for to know if your baby is ready to start weaning. The fact that sleep changes and that this is more likely to be a 4 month sleep regression than that they are hungry and need to be weaned. What to start children on (baby rice is not necessarily the right answer!) and the different methods that can be followed to start weaning. Choking and the associated worries. The difference between gagging and choking (do a parent first aid course)- we have a podcast episode on this – First Aid Emergencies with Sian Stephanie The best sitting position for babies when weaning and beyond. The importance of role modelling. Things you need to buy or think about before starting weaning. The faces babies make!! Allergies and what to be aware of. Pouches, homemade food (and porridge!).  What if you hate certain foods?? (spoiler alert – you need to put a brave face on!!) What shouldn’t you feed children under 12 months old? Following social media accounts (shout out to Charlotte @SRNurition !)  Instagram @bespokefamily  Facebook @bespokefamily  For information about a Bespoke Family Parent Consultation click here: https://www.bespokefamily.co.uk/parent-consultations    ‘Your Guide to...’ (our downloadable webinars including behaviour, toilet training, sleep and more)  This podcast is produced by Decibelle Creative
