As I mentioned
before we have started weaning Jelly Bean and are enjoying our weaning
experience as part of the HiPP Organic #WeanTeam.
We have
been weaning Jelly Bean for nearly 3 months now and it has been going really
well. After being advised by our health visitor to wean early a little before
WHO’s recommended age of 6 months, we started off using HiPP Organic purees
suitable for babies 4+ months.
Jelly Bean
took to food brilliantly, enjoying new tastes.

As Jelly
Bean’s love of food and confidence grew when he was just past 6 months of age
we slowly introduced new textures, trying HiPP Organic’s range of food with
lumps such as their pouched Scrummy Spaghetti Bolognese. As we did with Bug, we
also combined traditional spoon feeding of purees and mashed foods with a baby
led approach where we introduced Jelly Bean to finger foods.
He loves feeding
himself, feeling the food as he munches away on foods such as fruit, veg and
snacks. He loves spaghetti Bolognese, roast dinner, fresh fruit and finger food
snacks such as Biscotti biscuits.


Jelly Bean’s
weaning journey is going really well, and like his brother before him he has
taken really well to food. Weaning Jelly Bean has been very similar to when we
weaned Bug the only real difference has been that I have not really made
homemade purees like I did with Bug. With life being hectic and Jelly Bean
being my second baby, the convenience of using HiPP Organic jars and pouches is
appealing and makes life that little bit easier as a parent.
Before we
started weaning, like his brother before him, Jelly Bean was exclusively
breastfed. Jelly Bean took really well to breastfeeding, being a big milk guzzler.
Since he started weaning, in spite of his love of food he still enjoys breastfeeding.
We are
really enjoying Jelly Bean’s weaning journey and having lots of fun as he
explores new tastes and textures. I love seeing him try new foods and the joy
on his face as he tries new tastes and self-feeds. I look forward to watching
Jelly Bean grow and develop as he continues his weaning journey.



As I did with
Bug I have chosen to continue breastfeeding Jelly Bean alongside weaning. Our
feeding decision is right for us.
However HiPP
Organic offer a range of Follow On Milks for parents who choose to feed it to
their babies as part of the weaning/feeding process and their #milkmoments. Here is the advice HiPP
nutritionist Helen offers about Follow On Milks -
“Follow on
milks are designed to complement the weaning diet while your baby
is getting used to a variety of different tastes and textures. They are
higher in iron and vitamin D than standard infant formulas which can
really be a help if baby is not eating many iron-containing foods and is
therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency, and to help protect baby
against becoming vitamin D deficient.”
Message
about milks -
The Department of Health recommends that you breastfeed your baby exclusively
for the first six months of their life; at around six months you can start to
wean them on to solids and start to combine breastfeeding with bottle feeding.
HiPP Organic understands that all babies are different and some mums might want
to transfer to bottle feeding earlier than others. HiPP Organic would always
advise that you speak to your midwife or health visitor before changing your
feeding method. For more information on milks, please visit the HiPP Organic
