Weaning

As your child grows older, you will begin to notice a big difference in your child’s eating habits.

At the age of six months, your child will begin to show signs of readiness for the transition to first solid foods.

At 6 months old, your growing child will begin to need more to meet their nutritional needs.

Mealtimes can feel like a daily negotiation — will they eat, will they refuse, will this be the day they finally try something green?

Your child’s nutritional needs should be varied in a balanced baby diet that provides energy and support your child’s rapid growth.

Carbohydrates, protein, and fats each play a distinct role in your child's growth — and no single macronutrient can make up for a shortfall in the others.

Every day you give your child three meals and a snack or two.

Iron deficiency in young children can be easy to miss, since the early signs often look like ordinary toddler behaviour.

Getting enough iron into your child's diet is mostly a matter of knowing which foods deliver the most per serving, and how to combine them for better absorption.

Iron deficiency anaemia is a step beyond mild deficiency — it's a confirmed diagnosis, usually made through a blood test, that calls for active management rather than dietary tweaks alone.
