A workshop all about baby weaning.

The aim of Baby Buffet is to reduce our dependence on processed baby foods by introducing simple cookery and food preparation skills to parents.

For some new parents, it’s the first time they have thought about healthy eating in general. They may not know yet about their babies' dietary needs and how easy it can be to cook for them.

We deliver Baby Buffet at children’s centres across the city. A cookery worker visits parent and baby groups, bringing along a big assortment of fresh foods suitable for weaning babies. The food is then prepared right in front of the parents, so that they can see how easy it is to make. Afterwards, the babies and their parents can sample the food to see if they like it. Handouts full of tips and infant feeding ideas are available to take home.

The parents can also purchase at cost price some items of equipment to start them off: an ice cube tray, some small lidded bowls, a fridge thermometer, a feeding cup and spoon.
