Starting weaning your baby

It is truly rewarding for any parent to see how

quickly their tiny newborn grows and develops

into a happy, healthy baby. Good nutrition is vital

for the healthy growth and happiness of your

baby. Breast milk is the ideal rst food, containing

all the natural nutritional content that is specic

to babies’ needs. Infant formula too has its place

as an alternative for when breastfeeding is not

possible. Generally, after the rst month of life,

infants gain an average of 0.5 to 1 kilogram a

month for the rst six months. Beyond this stage,

a combination of both milk and solid foods is

required to promote growth whilst infants gain

approximately 0.5 kilogram in weight per month.

At around 4-6 months, babies begin to sit up with

support, are able to control their heads and often

put anything that they can nd into their mouths.

At this stage they may seem less satised with

the milk that they are given and more conscious

and curious of adult eating habits, especially those

of their parents. This is an indication that they are

now ready to start eating solid foods themselves,

which complements the milk that they are given,

with the added benet of providing even more

nutrients. This is a very exciting phase for infants

as they can experiment and learn to enjoy new

and different tastes you offer them.

It is true that all babies grow and develop

differently. Many are happy to wait until 6 months

to begin weaning, however others may seem to

be ready before that time. Four months or 17

weeks is the earliest age that you should consider

beginning to wean your baby. For further advice it

would be advisable to consult your health visitor

or local doctor.

When your baby is ready, you will want to make

the rst solid foods from fresh ingredients, so that

food nutrients remain as intact as possible. Buying

and preparing foods yourself is the best way of

ensuring this because you know exactly what

your baby is eating. The foods you buy and how

they are stored, prepared and cooked will affect

their nutritional content. It is important to buy

fresh ingredients, to store them according to any

given instructions and to prepare them on

a clean surface.

Steaming is one of the best cooking methods

that helps to preserve avours. Steaming with

the unique Philips AVENT Combined Steamer

and Blender helps to retain essential nutrients

because the juices that are released from

the food during the steaming phase are

retained for mixing back into the

food during the blending phase.

In this way, as many nutrients

as possible are retained

in the food in order to

provide a healthy diet.

As you know, there are

many reliable sources of

information on weaning,

such as baby clinics,

doctor’s surgeries and

online web-sites that can

help you to decide when

your baby is ready to

start weaning and

move from one stage

to the next.

Enjoy this special stage

in your baby’s life!

General professional recommendations

• Always store food safely and adhere to use-by

dates. Prepare food in a clean kitchen with clean

utensils and bowls for optimum hygiene. Wash

hands before food preparation, and baby’s hands

before feeding.

• All fruits and vegetables should be carefully

washed before use. Some need peeling.

• Salt should not be added to foods for babies

– try using herbs or mild spices as you would

in your usual family recipes to make the foods

tastier for your baby.

• Sugar should not be added unless a very small

amount is added to tart fruit to make it palatable.

• Baby food should be cooked thoroughly until

piping hot and allowed to cool before serving.

• Microwaving heats foods unevenly and can

cause hotspots which may scald your baby. Make

sure any food you warm up this way is

mixed thoroughly and left to cool before

serving. Use the Philips AVENT Bottle

and Baby Food Warmer to heat your

baby’s food safely and evenly.

• Never re-heat your baby’s

food more than once.

• Most freshly cooked

foods can be stored in the

refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

• Preparing batches and freezing them in ice

cube trays or food containers, such as VIA Cups,

can save you lots of time! VIA Cups are sterile,

stackable and can easily be written on with the

name of the food and the date prepared. Check

your freezer’s instructions to nd out how

long you can store baby food safely. It is usually

between 1 and 3 months.

• Do not refreeze food after it has been thawed.

• Some foods, such as raw shellsh, liver, soft

unpasteurised cheeses and honey, are not

suitable for babies under 12 months. Eggs should

always be well cooked. Always check with your

health visitor if you are unsure.

• If there is a family history of allergy, exclusive

breastfeeding to 6 months is strongly

recommended. Continue breastfeeding during

the weaning stage and, when you introduce foods

that can cause allergies, such as milk, eggs, wheat,

nuts, seeds, sh and shellsh, do so one at a time.

• The stage by stage meal planners are examples

of a balanced meal plan with a variety of foods.

Adapt these to use seasonal fruit and vegetables

and your family foods. Generally, sweet potato

can be replaced with potato and you can use

any root vegetables in place of carrot.

Guidelines for best results

• The quantities stated in the recipes usually provide

you with enough food to serve and some left over

to store or freeze. Adapt the quantities stated to

suit your needs, but remember that the steaming

times will vary according to the quantity of food

in the jar. Check the instructions for use for the

approximate steaming times for different foods.

• The nal consistency of the food also depends

on the nature and quantity of the ingredients. To

reach the desired consistency, add some of the

usual baby milk or water to thin it down or add

some baby rice or drain some of the cooking

water before blending to thicken it.

• All nal quantities are indicative and can vary

depending on the nature of the ingredients

and cooking time.

• The number of portions stated in the recipes

provided below is only an approximation.

Appetite and growth vary from baby to baby,

as does the required portion size.

• The recipes’ photographic guide is aimed to

provide you with a quick visual reference for

cooking with your Combined Steamer Blender.

When using the product for the rst times you

are advised to refer to the full recipes’ instructions.

Disclaimer: These recipes have been carefully selected by

nutritional experts like Judy and Gillian. If in doubt, particularly

in cases of known or suspected allergies to certain foods,

please consult your doctor or health visitor as appropriate.
