The take-home wallchart is a resource for mums, parents and carers to use at home with helpful tips on weaning and a timeline to help with the process showing what might be happening at different stages between the ages of 6-12+ months. Children’s food preferences and eating habits are formed early in life, with consequences for a range of health and development outcomes in later life. Official advice is that most babies should not start solid foods until they are around six months old, this gives them time to develop properly so they can cope with solid foods.
