Weaning - Stage Three

Low protein finger foods

By the age of 7 months your baby might want to start feeding themselves. This should be encouraged with the use of low protein finger foods.

Low protein finger foods:

- Lightly cooked free vegetables i.e soft carrot sticks
- Soft pieces of free fruit i.e pear, peach, banana
- Low protein rusks
- Toasted fingers of low protein bread
- Low protein pasta
- Low protein cereal
- Low protein biscuits

Remember never leave children unattended when eating

Low protein milk

At this stage you might want to start introducing a low protein milk. Currently there are 4 on the market: Prozero, Sno-pro, Loprofin and Taranus Dalia PKU drink. These can be used in recipes to replace milk and from the age of 9 months they can be introduced as a milk replacement drink.
