Teeny Weeny Weaning Book

COMPETITION INSIDE

Welcome to the Fish is the Dish Teeny Weeny Weaning Book.

We’ve put this book together to provide some practical insight and tips for people who are getting their babies to eat solids.

From the age of six months, your baby can begin to eat solids or ‘proper food’.

Hello

Getting your little one to move on to solids can be stressful. Relax and remember that every day up and down the country and right around the world people like you will be on their weaning journey.

Weaning when?

Seafood is packed full of lots of good things like vitamins, minerals, calcium and Omega-3. Bodies big, small and our six months old Teeny Weaners require these to help their bodies grow up healthy and strong.

Why is seafood good for your baby?

Small prawns, the ones you find in a prawn cocktail, are perfect for weaning. They’re pre-cooked and all you have to do is defrost and wash them before giving them to your baby.

Mackerel and salmon (not smoked) are great oily fish that are easy to break up and flake for your baby. When your little one gets a bit older you can add small pasta or rice to it for a tasty tea-time treat.

� For weaning recipes that use chicken you can use any whitefish as an alternative.

� Flake fish through your finger tips for your little one.

� Cook up some whitefish with potato, sweet potato or parsnips then mash up and put the mixture into small pots or old yogurt pots and freeze in a batch .

� Use ice cube trays to divide and freeze fish portions for your little one.

� Putting a little milk and whisked up egg in a saucepan or a microwave for a few minutes with some whitefish like cod, coley or hake will give you Seafood Scrambled Egg.

� It’s recommend that little ones only eat smoked fish after they’re at least 18 months old. Due to the natural mercury levels in swordfish, marlin or shark these should not be given to young infants.
