Baby weaning recipes: Around 7 months

Discover tasty and healthy ideas for your baby’s weaning adventure!

At around 7 months, your baby’s weaning journey is probably well underway, as they have lots of fun (and make lots of mess) exploring different tastes, textures, and flavours. 

If you’re weaning with spoon-fed purees, you can now introduce thicker consistencies, lumpier textures and exciting new flavour combinations. You can also start to offer soft finger foods that are just the right size for little hands to hold (the size of an average chip is about right). If you’re baby-led weaning, think about some other finger foods you can add to your little one's breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Either way, we’ve got plenty of baby-weaning recipes for you to choose from. Let’s take a look.

By the time your baby is 6 months old, they’ll be ready for their first tastes of solid food, although, at first, weaning will be more about getting your baby used to food and how it tastes and feels than how much they eat^{1, 2}.

There are certain signs to look out for that will help you to know that your baby is ready to start on solid foods. If your baby can¹:

• Swallow food (without spitting it out again)
• Independently pick up food and put it in their mouth
• Hold their head steady and stay sitting up
• Coordinate their hand, eye, and mouth coordination

That’s a pretty good indication that your little one is ready to wean and that it’s time to start exploring baby weaning recipes - and we’re on hand to help.
