First weaning

image of advisor

When babies first start weaning they don't know how to eat.  At first, they'll need to get used to the sensation of solid food in their mouth, learning how to move food from the front to the back and then swallowing.  That's why smooth textures like purées are best when your baby begins weaning.

Cow & Gate pure baby rice - the ideal first start to weaning

Cow & Gate pure baby rice is smooth and easy to swallow, making it the ideal start to weaning.  Mix it with breastmilk or your baby's usual formula milk to give a familiar flavour, so your baby can get used to texture before moving onto puréed fruit and vegetables.

Perfect for tiny tummies


Made from the purest baby-grade rice with no added sugar, salt, colourings or preservatives, Cow & Gate pur baby rice is gluten free and easy for tiny tummies to digest.

Ready to try new tastes


Once your baby's used to the taste and sensation of pure baby rice, why not let your baby try new tastes one at a time with the simple, gently puréed ingredients in our Baby Balance 'a taste of' jars or Frutapura fruit purees.
