New weaning starter kit

Yes you can! The weaning starter kit is a great gift for anyone who is about to start weaning. Just let us know if you are ordering it for a boy or a girl so that we can try to include the right colour of bib (blue for a boy and pink for a girl) in your kit.

The pots and spoons are made of polypropylene, which means they’re BPA free.

The Department of Health recommends that weaning should start at around 6 months, but in some cases your health professional may suggest starting earlier. All babies develop at their own speed, and shouldn't be weaned before 17 weeks as their tiny tummy can't cope with solid food before then.

Our delicious foods, labelled 4 – 6 months, are free from the allergens (such as gluten) that are not recommended for children under 6 months. If you think that your baby's ready for weaning earlier than 6 months have a chat with your health visitor or GP first.

Yes! The pots are perfect for storage in the fridge or freezer. Just remember to put the right amount of food for your baby in a bowl before you start feeding and only save what’s left in the jar or one of the pots, then you can keep it safely for 48 hours. Once there is saliva on the spoon and it goes back in the jar, it reduces how long the food can be stored.

If you’re storing your own home-made food in the pots, follow the safe storage guidelines on www.eatwell.gov.uk. But generally, any previously frozen food should be eaten within 24 hours.
