What is National Weaning Week?
National Weaning Week takes place from the 13-17th May this year and the focus will be “Wean Wise, Gut Thrive”, championed by BioGaia, The Gut Stuff and Children’s Nutritionist Lucy Upton.
Throughout the week, we will be sharing recipes, blogs, giveaways, live events with latest information on good gut health for babies and toddlers. The importance of adding probiotics to their diets and gut friendly recipes. We are asking everyone to get on board and share support, information, recipe ideas and tips to make weaning easier and fun!
Weaning Week’s mission is to help families feel empowered to wean their child as nutritious as possible.
What is Weaning?
Weaning is a stage in your child’s development when solid foods are introduced into their diet. Several decades ago, babies would have been weaned when just a few months old. Nowadays however, the switch to solids is advised from the age of six months.
