Dear [*data('91.salutation')|html*]
Your baby is now 20 weeks old and it's nearly time to think about weaning. Weaning is when breast or formula milk is no longer enough for your child's nutritional needs, and other foods need to be introduced. You're both about to enter an exciting stage, the wonderful world of weaning. We'll be here at every step to support you through this journey.
Also on-hand is mum and TV personality Sheree Murphy. She'll be sharing some great recipe ideas in the form of handy short videos. Plus, we've created a guide, to make weaning as easy and exciting as possible for you and your little one. |

Is your little one ready for weaning?
You'd normally introduce solids at around 6 months, but all babies are different. Look for the signs: good hand-to-mouth co-ordination so they can pick up food, being interested in what you're eating, and sitting still with a steady head. |

So, how to start?
Try mush and purées at first. Sheree has some simple recipe ideas such as fruit and vegetable purées and yummy smoothies, to get them started. Your baby will still need milk, about a pint a day. SMA® Follow-on Milk* is a good choice as it complements the foods you are giving as you begin weaning. |

|
|
|
Your baby's immune system is still developing so hygiene is important:
• Wash your hands and your baby's hands before preparing and feeding
• Sterilise bowls and spoons until your baby is six months
• Cooked food should not be reheated more than once
• Wash and peel fruits and vegetables such as apples and carrots |
