Top 10 baby-led weaning recipes

Top 10 baby-led weaning recipes by Annabel Karmel

Once your baby has got to grips with those first finger foods when baby-led weaning, it’s important to continue to introduce a wide variety of healthy foods, flavours and textures early on.  And here are 10 of Annabel’s most popular baby-led weaning recipes with young families.

Remember, baby-led weaning doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing method.  You can choose to feed your baby soft finger foods and small portions of family meals alongside spoon-feeding purees. The important thing is that both you and your baby feel content and comfortable in your routine.

For lots more ideas, Annabel’s Baby-Led Weaning Recipe Book is great, whether you’re exclusively baby-led weaning or looking for food ideas to feed alongside purees.

FREE Finger Food Guide

Whether you’re weaning with purees or taking a baby-led approach, finger foods will be an important part of your baby’s feeding journey. But where to start? What finger foods are best for baby?

Annabel’s brand new 30-page guide provides you with everything you need to know for a flying start. And it’s FREE!

Sweet Potato and Kale Croquettes recipe by Annabel Karmel

Sweet Potato and Kale Croquettes

Most babies are open to trying new foods. However, it can be tricky getting them to enjoy eating leafy green vegetables, so that’s why I’ve created these super-tasty veggie sweet potato and kale croquettes. Kale is such a bona fide superfood that it would be hard to find a reason to keep it off your child’s menu. Flex it… If you don’t have kale, you can use other nutritious greens such as cabbage or Swiss chard. Replace the mushrooms with red pepper for added beta-carotene. Post Views: 310
