Here at Mummy Cooks we have put together a go to guide of recipes and advice for your weaning 6-12 month old baby.

Introducing Finger Foods
Finger food should be introduced as early as six months to get baby used to feeding themselves (baby-led-weaning). Although they may not fully master the pincer grab - holding foods between the forefinger and thumb until 7 months. It is good to familiarise them with the idea of finger foods early on so they go onto feed themselves.
