Come & Wean with us

Weaning is an exciting time, but it can also be daunting. If you’re a first time Mum, the thought of introducing food to your baby can be a little overwhelming. Knowing when to start, and what to offer, the right textures to give and adding new flavours to your baby can seem like a huge big task! I love weaning – it’s such a fun time, and after four children I really know what I’m doing and am confident enough to trust my instincts and follow my babies lead. Sometimes it isn’t all plain sailing – maybe your little one doesn’t like what you offer them! The key is to remember that weaning is about trying things – it really doesn’t matter how much your baby eats right now – they’re learning and figuring things out!

SMA® Nutrition are running a ‘Come & Wean with Us™’ campaign, that aims to help new and first-time mums through the tricky but exciting stage of weaning. They have produced a series of recipe videos that will help to guide you through each stage of weaning.

Vega loves food! He really does. He hasn’t refused a single thing that I’ve offered him yet! I make him his own food in bulk that I keep in the freezer, as well as offering him some of what we eat if it suitable, and lots and lots of finger foods. He is exclusively breastfeed, but I have used formula sometimes in the recipes that I have made for him as I haven’t gotten in the habit of expressing and those little cartons of ready mixed milk are perfect!

As part of this campaign, Vega and I will be testing out SMA’s recipe for Fish Pie. Now, we don’t eat much fish thought I have made fish dishes for Vega before and he likes them, so I’m confident he’ll enjoy this recipe too!

I’ll be back with a post and video showing how we got on making the fish pie, and most importantly what Vega thought of it!
