In today's episode I'm talking to Ailsa McHardy of Little Nutrition about the guidelines for when to wean your baby onto solid foods.

There is a lot more understanding, flexibility and information out there now than when my kids were weaning and I wanted to ask Ailsa what the current best advice is for parents on how to know if their child is ready or not. We talk about why age is a guideline and not a hard and fast rule, and what developmental cues to look for in your own child to see if they are ready.

Ailsa is an expert Paediatric Dietitian with 15 years of experience across NHS, academic and private settings. She is the founder of Little Nutrition, a freelance children's nutrition consultancy which supports families with weaning, fussy eating, food allergies and tummy symptoms. Ailsa has 2 little ones of her own and brings lots of real life experience to her practice.
