Answer

Thank you for your question.

 

The Department of Health advises that you can feed your child adult foods from the age of 12 months onwards. Make sure you watch out for salt intake though by using low salt stock cubes for example. If you're stuck for ideas, have a look at some of our recipes on the website, in the Products and Recipes tab. If you select the 12 months plus tick box, you can see some recipes that are suitable for all the family - you just need to chop up the pieces a bit smaller for your little one.
