Changing Food and Nutrition For Your 8-12-Month Old

Around 10 months old (but anywhere from 8), your baby's meal plan can start to include foods that have increased variety and texture.

Formulas for lactose intolerance, regurgitation, and allergy management are some of the infant formulas available for formula fed babies with special dietary needs.

Baby formulas will never be equal to breast milk, however they have been formulated to provide the necessary nutrients to support normal growth and development when breast milk is not available.&nb

Safe infant formula preparation is important for your baby’s health. Like any food preparation we need to consider good food hygiene practices - it doesn't need to be complicated.

Most babies start solid foods at around 6 months. Baby-led weaning, where your baby feeds themself finger foods, is a way to help them discover new flavours and textures at their own pace.

Whether you’re transitioning to formula, switching formula from one to another, or changing from formula to milk, it’s important to keep your eye out for signs of intolerance. 

By now your little one is likely to have started to get the hang of crawling, and is probably well on their way to cruising.

You may have noticed your baby is moving more and more every day—it may sometimes feel like they’re in constant motion!

YOU are still your baby’s best toy. Your baby will love people talking to them and making faces with them. Read and sing to your baby and let them lie on your tummy to play and gently rumble.

Making sure your baby is active is important for their health.

You never get a minute to yourself, yet you’ve never felt lonelier? Yes, that’s the paradox of lonely parents.
