When it comes to introducing your
baby to solid foods for the rst time
it’s perfectly normal to feel confused.
The huge amount of information
available alone can be overwhelming,
particularly if you’re a rst time
parent. Babies will sometimes spit
out the food prepared for them –
being unable to say what they do or
don’t want to eat. This can be quite
challenging for parents when weaning
their baby. But don’t panic, work
alongside your baby’s requirements,
and provide them with a variety of
nutritious meals that will help them to
grow up to be healthy and happy.
We developed this booklet together
with Nutritionist Dr. Emma Williams.
It provides professional advice on
weaning and on how to prepare
nutritious meals easily for your baby,
so you can get more pleasure
out of family meal times together.

Starting to wean your baby
Seeing your newborn baby grow and develop into
a happy and healthy child is a really amazing and
rewarding experience. What happens in a baby’s
future health and providing healthy, nutritious food
is an essential part of this process. Breast milk is the
all of the natural nutritional content your baby
needs, along with important antibodies for added
protection against infection, directly from mother
to baby. It’s recommended to breastfeed up to the
age of 6 months and if possible to continue to do
so together with a healthy, balanced diet for up to 2
years or longer if preferred. When it’s not possible to
breastfeed, infant formula is the next best substitute
for breast milk. In terms of their ability to grow, a
baby should gain between 0.5kg (1.1lbs) and 1kg (2.2
lb
s) in weight per month from 0-6 months, after
which time, solid foods are required to promote
further growth and development.
paces, it’s really important not to rush them into
weaning before they’re ready. The earliest time to
consider starting to wean a baby is 4 months or 17
weeks. But it usually takes around 6 months for a
baby’s digestive system to work properly and be
ready to digest food*. There are 3 key signs that
show when a baby seems to be ready to try solid
food. These usually take place around 4-6 months
and include: being able to sit up and hold their head
steady; good hand, eye and mouth coordination
(they can look at food, pick it up and p
ut it in their

signs before weaning your baby. They may also

consume. All of these changes mark an important
step in your baby’s development. They’re now ready
to explore new tastes and textures in their diet.
important how much they consume, it’s more about
getting them used to eating food in general. Babies
won’t need 3 meals a day initially. You can simply
used to the taste, texture and feel of food in their
mouth. Then you gradually increase the amount
and variety of food your baby eats until they can
eventually eat the same foods as the rest of the
family, in smaller portions. Babies learn to like the
foods they get used to. If you give them very salty,

sweet or fatty foods and drinks they will be more
likely to want them when they get older and you
really don’t want to create a fussy eater! Providing
your baby with a range of healthy and nutritious
foods to eat from the beginning is absolutely
essential, as it will make sure they keep eating such
kinds of food as they grow older. It’s really hard to
change what children eat when they get older so it’s
important to instil good food habits right from the
very start. You are advised to do this from weaning
onwards and to prepare foods from scratch us

fresh ingredients. This way, you know exactly what
your baby is eating. You should also try to preserve
the nutritional composition of the foods you wish
to prepare as much as possible, so that you get the
maximum nutrition out of the ingredients you’re
using. Buying fresh ingredients and storing them
appropriately by following storage instructions
provided will help to maintain the nutritional
content. This will also make sure that foods such as
that food is prepared on clean surfaces using
clean utensils will also protect your baby from
harmful bacteria.
* Consult your local doctor or child care health consultant if you feel you need further advice on when might
be the best time to wean your baby.

time in your child’s growth and development, as they

healthy eating habits that will enable them to grow

We hope this recipe booklet will help you when
starting your baby on solid food. It includes
some useful information and professional advice
about the dierent stages of weaning, along with
appropriate recipes for the dierent stages of
weaning. Each recipe has been developed using
Philips Avent essential baby food maker to help
you to provide nutritious food for your growing baby.
The Philips Avent essential baby food
maker gently steams fruit, vegetables, meat
and sh. It can also blend your cooked
ingredients to the consistency that most
suits your baby’s age. All aimed at helping
you to make healthy, wholesome meals
quite easily for your baby.
Although this recipe booklet gives you some
information related to weaning, there’s also plenty
of reliable information available to help you to
decide if your baby is ready for weaning. For
example, from your local baby clinic, doctor’s
oce or online, as well as information to help you
progress from one stage to the next, perhaps even
other recipe ideas that you can use with your
Philips Avent essential baby food maker.
Steaming is a very healthy way to prepare food as
it helps to keep the nutrients locked in. Using the
Philips Avent essential baby food maker will help to
retain the nutritional content of the initial ingredients
in the nal prepared meal for your baby. This is
because the juices released from the steamer during
cooking (steaming phase) are retained for mixing
back into the food during blending
(blending phase).

Health and safety recommendations
Babies are particularly vulnerable to the bacteria
that can cause food poisoning so it’s essential to
follow simple health and safety guidelines when
preparing and storing their food.
Food preparation:
• Always make sure food is stored safely and stick to
use-by dates. Prepare food in a clean kitchen using
clean chopping boards and utensils. Wash your
hands thoroughly before preparing food and your
baby’s hands before feeding. Make sure all bowls
and spoons used for feeding are thor
oughly cleaned
prior to use. Philips Avent has a suitable range of
• Store cooked and raw meats separate from each
other and from other foods in the fridge and keep
them covered. Always wash your hands after
touching raw meat. Sterile vacuum packed raw
as this can spread harmful germs onto kitchen
work surfaces and could lead to food poisoning.
Use your own judgment if you’re not sure that it’s
been previously washed (i.e. not vacuum packed/
foods bought in fresh food markets). Always wash
fruit and vegetables and peel if necessary – all root
vegetables should be peeled and washed
before use.
• Never add salt to foods intended for babies. You
can add herbs and mild spices instead to make the
food
s tastier. If you must use stock in a recipe, use
low or no salt stock. Avoid adding sugar to food
unless required for taste (for example to sweeten
tart fruit).
• Make sure food is cooked thoroughly and cool until
it’s lukewarm before serving.
Food storage:
• Once prepared, cool the food as quickly as
possible (within 1-2 hours) and place in fridge (at a
temperature of 5 °C (41 °F) or below) or freezer (at a
temperature of -18 °C (0 °F)). Most freshly prepared
foods can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24
hours. Check your freezer guidelines to see how
long you can store baby food
safely – usually 1-3 months.

The quantity indicated in the recipes* should
provide you with enough food to feed your baby,
as well as some leftovers to portion up and store
or freeze for later use. You can adapt the amount
required to suit your needs, making sure to adjust
the length of steaming required to the amo
unt of
ingredients used. Check ‘ingredients and steaming
time’ in the user manual for approximate steam
• Final consistency of each recipe will depend on
the type of ingredients used including the amount
used and stage of weaning (i.e. smooth vs. lumpier
consistency). Consistency may be altered via the
addition of baby’s usual milk or boiled water to the
thin down or baby rice may be added to thicken.
Draining some of the water in the steamer before
blending will also result in a thicker consistency.
•
•
* All recipes have been checked to make sure they contain appropriate amounts of calories, salt, sugar and fat
suitable for babies and toddlers.
Frozen food should be defrosted thoroughly before
heating. Philips Avent bottle warmer can be used to
heat your baby’s food evenly and safely. If you’re
reheating food using a microwave, always stir the
food and check its temperature before feeding your
baby. Don’t reheat food more than once.
Never refreeze food after it’s been thawed and
never save and re-use foods that your child hasn’t
nished eating.
Recipe quantities are indicative – these may vary
depending on the nature of the ingredients used
and cooking times.
The number of portion sizes provided by each
recipe is only a guide. Because every baby has
dierent needs, the portion sizes may not reect
the amount required by your baby’s appetite or
needed to meet his or her growth requirements,
meaning that the nal portion size consumed may
be dierent from the one indicated.
Certain foods are unsuitable for children under the
age of 12 months, including liver, raw shellsh, shark,
swordsh and marlin, soft unpasteurized cheeses
and honey. Make sure eggs or dishes containing egg
are well cooked.
If there’s a history of food allergy within the family,
exclusive breastfeeding up to the age of 6 months is
recommended. Where breastfeeding is not possible,
for whatever reason, consult a medical practitioner
for advice on the best type of formula to provide
instead. Because the introduction of rst foods can
cause allergies, breastfeeding should be continued
throughout weaning and care should be taken when
introducing potentially allergenic foods such as
milk, eggs, wheat, sh and shellsh – oering them
one at a time.
If there’s a history of peanut allergy in the family
seek advice from a qualied medical practitioner.
Because of the risk of choking, whole nuts,
including peanuts, should not be given to children
under 5 years.
Immediate signs of allergy (usually occurring within
seconds or up to two hours) can include lip swelling,
itchiness and hives, a red ushing of the face or
body, a rash, worsening symptoms of eczema
or diculty breathing. If you think your baby is
having an allergic reaction to food seek urgent
medical advice – in rare cases a severe reaction
(anaphylaxis) can be life-threatening.
Delayed reactions to food (usually associated with
cow’s milk allergy) can include nausea vomiting or
reux, diarrhea, constipation, blood in stools, a red
bottom, and progressively worse eczema. In the
longer term there may also be problems gaining
weight. Because some of these symptoms (e.g.
rashes and diarrhea) are also indicative of other
illnesses, consult your healthcare practitioner for
further advice.
Always seek the advice of a qualied healthcare
practitioner if you suspect your child may have a
potential food allergy – they should be your rst
port of call!

eating his/her own food in no time.
Stage 1:
First tastes
Up until now your baby will only be used to
suckling milk from the breast or drinking formula
from a bottle, by pushing the tongue forward to
drink. Therefore, when starting to spoon feed for
their tongue, meaning that any food going in will
be pushed back out the mouth with the tongue.
Learning to eat food involves developing a whole
new set of oral motor skills. For example, your baby
will need to learn to use his/her lips to pull the food
back of the mouth and to swallow. Before this they
had only ever used their jaw and cheek muscles for
sucking – so it’s a completely new experience. Once
your baby can swallow food, along with the other
two signs for weaning (sitting up, picking things up
and putting them in their mouths) they’re well and
truly ready to embark on an exploration of food.
First foods can include puréed cereals, such as
baby rice, oats, millet, corn noodles or well mashed
cooked rice mixed with your baby’s usual milk. You
can also purée
fruit or vegetables. Purées should be

types of food and gradually increase meals from
two to three times a day, so that baby can begin
to experience lots of new tastes. In terms of your
formula-fed babies cooled boiled water if you think
they are thirsty between feeds (breast fed babies
don’t need any water).
Purées should be very smooth and still

Now that your baby has been used to eating purée or soft mashed foods with
progressively moving to roughly mashed foods, so they can learn to chew. At this
stage of weaning (from 6-8 months) babies should have started to progress onto
3 meals a day, in larger quantities than before, alongside their usual milk (breast
or formula).

Because this is a time period of rapid growth, your
baby will have a higher requirement for nutrient
rich foods – so be sure to give plenty of variety!
For example, all babies are born with an ample
supply of iron. However, that starts to run out at
around 6 months of age, so it’s essential that they
get enough iron from their diet to ensure healthy
growth and development. So give them plenty
of foods containing iron, such as lean red meat,
cereals, beans and green vegetables. If you are not
sure about how much your baby nee

your baby guide you – babies usually turn their
head away or keep their mouth shut when they
don’t want any more food. For safety reasons never
leave your baby unattended whilst eating. Continue

meals. Don’t be tempted to give them any juice, as
they will be getting plenty of Vitamin C from their
milk feeds, as well as from fruit and vegetables.
The 4 main food groups include:
1. Starchy foods – rice, pasta, potatoes and other cereals;
3. Fruits and vegetables;
4. Dairy products – full fat yogurt and cheese. Full fat milk can also be used during cooking.

The third stage of weaning (from 9-12 months) is about widening your baby’s
chopped, mashed or minced rather than puréed. In terms of their development,
your baby should be starting to recognize foods by sight and beginning to
associate them with their taste.
Stage 3:
Chunkier chews
Because it’s quite common for older children to
reject new or previously accepted foods, typically
foods at this stage will help them later. You should
also start to include your baby in family meal times.
This is because children learn to eat foods if they
see other people eating them. Therefore, make sure
they sit with the rest of the family whilst eating and
organize meal times around other people, especially
other children. Wherever possible encourage them
to feed themselves, even if it’s messy. Mealtimes
are a time for learning and should be fun for your
baby. Learning to self-feed will help to establis
h
a healthy relationship with food in which they are
actively involved in the process. In terms of the food
consistency, such as raw fruit and vegetable sticks.
Continue to give breast or formula milk, but reduce it
to two or three times a day. You can also give cooled
boiled water if necessary. This is also the right time
to try to phase out the use of bottles and introduce a
training cup.
Because baby’s tummies are quite small they can
no room for other more nutritious foods that will
give them the energy they need to grow. Fat is
also important for energy production and contains
valuable vitamins such as Vitamin A. For this reason,
you should not give low fat milk, cheese or yogurt to
babies under the age of 2 years.

This requires a lot more energy and nutrients. That’s why providing a healthy,
balanced diet is so important. Until now, breast or formula milk will have been
their main source of nourishment, but now it’s time for solid food to take
pole position.
Stage 4:
From one year on
At this stage of weaning they should be consuming
3 meals per day, plus some snacks in between
mealtimes such as prepared fruit, vegetable sticks,
yogurt, chunks of cheese, toast or rice cakes. Try
to include some starch (bread, cereals, porridge,
potatoes, rice, couscous or pasta), protein (meat,
and fresh fruit and vegetables with each meal. Dairy
(milk, yogurt or cheese) should be included in three
of their meals or snacks per day. One serving would
include a glass of milk (150ml), a small bowl of yogurt
or fromage frais or a matchbox piece of cheese. Their
usual milk intake (breast or formula) will naturally
cow’s milk instead (unless there’s an allergy to milk).
Milk is an important source of calcium, which along
with water should be your toddler’s main drink.
But don’t give more than one pint of milk (around
0.5kg) a day as this will only reduce their appetite
for food which they need to help them to grow. They
day (including milk drinks), served in a cup; one with
each meal and one in between meals with snacks.
Keep introducing them to new foods and try not
to overload their plate, as large portions may be
their stomach will be around the same size as a
age of 2), you can gradually increase the portion
size given. But to be sure, always be guided by
your baby’s appetite as to how much they can eat.
Try to maintain their interest in learning to eat food
by arranging meals on colorful plates, using lots
textures. Let your baby feed him or herself as much
foods such as spaghetti. If your child starts to refuse
food, take it away without making a fuss and wait
anything else. Try not to give sugary or high-fat
food, as this will only encourage poor food habits
in later life. Praise your baby for eating well as this
will encourage good behavior and future learning.
Eventually your toddler will be able to consume
the foods eaten by the rest of the family so always
remember to lead by example and eat healthily!
