weaning

so bubba is 18 weeks old and is showing all the signs for being ready to be weaned.  if your not sure what they are here is a brief list of things to look out for:

holding their head up
sitting up independently
interested in your food
still hungry after a milk feed


some of these could be signs of a growth spurt though as these happen a lot during the first 6months so if ur not sure you can try them with baby rice which isn't actual rice. its a powder that you mix with milk (not proper milk) and then spoon feed them.  this is really cute when they try n put a spoon into their mouth
 its a funny pic that's used a lot

so we are trying as part of his routine a baby rice meal at tea time and we've also tried mixing in purees although he doesn't like them on their own he doesn't mind them when they are mixed in.

so whilst ur reading this and paying no attention to your child have a quick look at what's happening and see how many you can tick off the list.

also you can buy really good weaning books we have some that are great for hints tips and tricks for weaning
