If your baby has just turned six months or is nearly there, you'll be thinking about weaning.

It's important to give them dishes that are nutritious and that they'll like - but also that will introduce them to different textures and flavours.

Pureed foods

Starting with a mixture of purees and finger food is a good idea. Purees are smooth so they're easily swallowed and they're a good way of introducing fruit and veg.

You can start with a single fruit or vegetable and over time you can mix different fruits and veg and introduce protein in the form of cheese, lentils, meat and fish.

Variety is the spice of life
