Starting Solids - weaning your baby

Is your baby around 12 weeks old? If so then you can expect to receive an invitation soon, from you Health Visitor, to your local Starting Solids Session.

Starting Solids Sessions help make weaning fun for you and your baby. Look out for your invite or ask your Health Visitor for further information.

We offer lots of sessions across the city with tips and advice on;

• Preparing to start offering your baby first foods at 6 months old
• How to prepare healthy food your baby will love
• Looking after babies’ teeth
• Encouraging your baby’s language development
• Loads more

A variety of NHS Health Professionals and our colleagues from local organisations come along to provide you with any information and advice you may need, and it’s a great chance to meet and chat with other parents and carers also. We have a community chef who provides a live demonstration to show you how easy it is to prepare healthy first foods for your baby that are kind on your wallet too.

Mums, Dads, carers, Grannies and Granpa’s (and of course, babies!) are all welcome.

The Starting Solids sessions are throughout Glasgow City, at the venues and dates as listed in the Links on this page. Your Health Visitor will invite you to attend when your baby is around 12 weeks old, but attending any time before 6 months is fine and you are able to attend as many sessions as you would like, in any location/venue which is best for you. 

As well as details of all available events, you will also find media clips on this page which show you what the sessions are like and which tell you a bit more about starting your baby on solids. 

 COMING SOON! - Please note that the content on this page is currently being updated to include all areas in Glasgow, and media clips - all information will be available by September 2019
