These two handy plans, Starting to wean and 6 month plan, will help you to get started in those first few weeks of weaning and then progress onto feeding lots of tasty nutritious purees, as your little one becomes a more confident eater. Both plans have been carefully developed by Heinz experts to first get your baby used to solids and then provide them with the right nutrients.
