Our aim

We hope this recipe booklet will help you when

starting your baby on solid food. It includes some

useful information and professional advice about

the dierent stages of weaning, along with meal

planner examples and appropriate recipes for the

dierent stages of weaning. Each recipe has been

developed using Philips Avent 4-in-1 healthy baby

food maker to help you to provide nutritious food for

your growing baby.

Starting to wean your baby

Seeing your newborn baby grow and develop into

a happy and healthy child is a really amazing and

rewarding experience. What happens in a baby’s

rst year of life may potentially inuence his or her

future health and providing healthy, nutritious food

is an essential part of this process. Breast milk is the

best rst food a baby can have, because it contains

all of the natural nutritional content your baby

needs, along with important antibodies for added

protection against infection, directly from mother

to baby. It’s recommended to breastfeed up to the

age of 6 months and if possible to continue to do

so together with a healthy, balanced diet for up to 2

years or longer if preferred. When it’s not possible to

breastfeed, infant formula is the next best substitute

for breast milk. In terms of their ability to grow, a

baby should gain between 0.5kg (1.1lbs) and 1kg (2.2

lbs) in weight per month from 0-6 months, after

which time, solid foods are required to promote

further growth and development.

Because babies are individuals and grow at dierent

paces, it’s really important not to rush them into

weaning before they’re ready. The earliest time to

consider starting to wean a baby is 4 months or 17

weeks. But it usually takes around 6 months for a

baby’s digestive system to work properly and be

ready to digest food*. There are 3 key signs that

show when a baby seems to be ready to try solid

food. These usually take place around 4-6 months

and include: being able to sit up and hold their head

steady; good hand, eye and mouth coordination

(they can look at food, pick it up and put it in their

mouth); the ability to swallow the food on oer,

rather than push it all out. So look for all of these

signs before weaning your baby. They may also

become less satised with their milk feeds and start

to show an interest in the foods that other people

consume. All of these changes mark an important

step in your baby’s development. They’re now ready

to explore new tastes and textures in their diet.

When rst starting to wean your baby it’s not so

important how much they consume, it’s more about

getting them used to eating food in general. Babies

won’t need 3 meals a day initially. You can simply

start by oering them a little at a time until they get

used to the taste, texture and feel of food in their

mouth. Then you gradually increase the amount

and variety of food your baby eats until they can

eventually eat the same foods as the rest of the

family, in smaller portions. Babies learn to like the

foods they get used to. If you give them very salty,

Providing your baby with a range of healthy and nutritious foods to

eat from the beginning is absolutely essential, as it will make sure

they keep eating such kinds of food as they grow older.

sweet or fatty foods and drinks they will be more

likely to want them when they get older and you

really don’t want to create a fussy eater! Providing

your baby with a range of healthy and nutritious

foods to eat from the beginning is absolutely

essential, as it will make sure they keep eating such

kinds of food as they grow older. It’s really hard to

change what children eat when they get older so it’s

important to instil good food habits right from the

very start. You are advised to do this from weaning

onwards and to prepare foods from scratch using

fresh ingredients. This way, you know exactly what

your baby is eating. You should also try to preserve

the nutritional composition of the foods you wish

to prepare as much as possible, so that you get the

maximum nutrition out of the ingredients you’re

using. Buying fresh ingredients and storing them

appropriately by following storage instructions

provided will help to maintain the nutritional

content. This will also make sure that foods such as

raw meat or sh are safe to eat. And making sure

that food is prepared on clean surfaces using

clean utensils will also protect your baby from

harmful bacteria.

Steaming is a very healthy way to prepare food as

it helps to keep the nutrients locked in. Using the

Philips Avent 4-in-1 healthy baby food maker will

help to retain the nutritional content of the initial

ingredients in the nal prepared meal for your baby.

This is because the juices released from the steamer

during cooking (steaming phase) are retained for

mixing back into the food during blending

(blending phase).

Although this recipe booklet gives you some

information related to weaning, there’s also plenty of

reliable information available to help you to decide

if your baby is ready for weaning. For example, from

your local baby clinic, doctor’s oce or online, as

well as information to help you progress from one

stage to the next, perhaps even other recipe ideas

that you can use with your Philips Avent 4-in-1

healthy baby food maker.

* Consult your local doctor or child care health consultant if you feel you need further advice on when might

be the best time to wean your baby.

‘‘I really hope you enjoy this wonderful and exciting

time in your child’s growth and development, as they

learn to experience new tastes and textures and get

healthy eating habits that will enable them to grow

into healthy, happy adults!’’
