A:Don't worry that your baby's not eating much at this stage.Anytime from 6 months is good for weaning,but not all babies will be ready at 6 months.Weaning is a gradual process of smelling,touching and licking foods so your baby is just experimenting.
Carry on offering him a range of finger foods such as toast,pitta breads,cheese,and cooked carrot sticks.Encourage his examination of food with smiles and positive eye contact,and show him how to move on and actually put foods in his mouth.Again,it may take time for him to chew and eventually swallow,but he'll get there.
From 6 months,babies don't really need calories at night,so swap his milk for water to encourage him to eat more during the day,too.
