As little ones grow, their food journey changes too. Around 6 months, complementary foods are introduced alongside milk, and gradually, children explore more variety in tastes, textures and foods. Our age-based guidance is designed to help parents understand these stages and make more informed food choices.
Around 6 months, complementary feeding begins alongside milk. This is a time for little ones to become familiar with their first tastes and suitable soft textures.
Introduce foods gradually, patiently and in small amounts, while observing your little one’s cues.
As little ones become familiar with complementary foods, their food journey can gradually include more variety in ingredients, flavours and textures.
Textures can progress as the child becomes ready, making mealtimes an opportunity to explore and learn.
At this stage, little ones are exploring a wider range of foods and textures. Suitable family foods can gradually become part of their meals in safe, age-appropriate forms.
The focus is on variety and building familiarity with different foods.
After the first year, little ones continue developing their eating habits and becoming more independent at mealtimes.
Their food journey can include a wider variety of family foods and different sources of nourishment.
As toddlers grow, their food choices can become increasingly diverse and closer to family meals.
This stage is also about developing independence, accepting new foods and building positive everyday eating habits.
Age is a helpful guide, but every child develops differently. Food textures, portions, feeding skills and acceptance of new foods can vary from child to child.
