Simple, single veggies, like carrots, peas or broccoli are the ideal first foods for your baby. Once your little one is comfortable eating single veggies, you can start to mix things up a bit and introduce fruits and other vegetables too. It’s probably a bit early for offering your little one breakfast, dinner and lunch just yet. For now just offer food once or twice a day, and don’t worry if they don’t eat too much to begin with.

The Department of Health recommends weaning at around 6 months. Before introducing any of these yummy recipes it’s important to check that your baby’s ready.

All the recipes below are suitable for babies from around 6 months. If you haven’t already, read up on how to prepare and store baby food safely before you get started.
