Starting solid foods
When to start, what to offer first, how to introduce allergens and how to keep mealtimes safe, so weaning feels exciting rather than daunting.
- Start solids at around 6 months, when your baby can sit up, pick up food and swallow it.
- Introduce allergens like egg and peanut one at a time from around 6 months, then keep them in the diet.
- No honey, salt or added sugar under 12 months, and no whole nuts under 5.
- Cut grapes and other small round foods into quarters, and always stay with your baby while they eat.
- Milk is still the main drink. Offer sips of water with meals from 6 months, and cows' milk as a main drink from 12 months.

If you’re trying to conceive (TTC), you probably know that there are certain foods and nutrients that become especially important once you’re pregnant. But nutrition plays a vital role even when trying to conceive, much like laying a strong foundation before constructing a house.
Certain nutrients create that foundation by supporting egg and sperm health (yes, nutrition matters for both partners), hormone balance and creating a hospitable environment for a fertilized egg to implant. In fact, studies show that certain nutrients can help increase fertility and improve success rates for both natural conception and fertility treatments.
In other words, nutrition is a key player in the TTC journey, but getting the right nutrients in the right quantities can be tricky. That’s where supplements come in. Just as you’d take a multivitamin to fill in nutritional gaps for optimal health, fertility supplements can give you that extra nutrient boost.
