Fat plays an important role in a babies brain and nervous system development.

Try choose an organic brand whenever possible to reduce your baby’s exposure to pesticides and herbicides.

About Me
Hi there, my name is Rachael! I am an Australian food blogger, recipe creator, fitness fanatic and a Baby Led Weaning advocate! Wife to my supportive husband, Paul, and mum of 2 kiddies Ava and Lewis who were 100% baby led weaned from 6 months old. I started this website because there was very little information out there about baby led weaning when I started. I wanted to simplify it all into one place.
I was absolutely petrified about baby led weaning especially choking, I was not sure how to cut/cook and serve foods to my babies, but now I have done it I can't emphasis enough all the positives of baby led weaning and now having fuss-free eating kids.
My website is here to give you the confidence and resources to learn more about baby led weaning. Including: healthy easy recipes for babies 6 months old+, babies readiness signs, choking hazards, foods to avoid in the first 12 months, my starter tips, research and allergies and much more... I also have an e-book which includes a 4 Week Baby Led Weaning Meal Plan with over 40+ easy healthy recipes (Paediatric Dietitian approved), and my second e-book (which will be plant-based) will be out soon 2020!
Happy weaning!
