Nutrition Power Hour
Nutrition tips for your setting.
In the first of this series of bite-sized nutrition essentials for the early years sector we will be looking at weaning.
Weaning is the process of gradually introducing an infant human or another mammal to what will be its adult diet while withdrawing the supply of its mother’s milk or off bottle feeding but what does this really mean when it comes to menu planning, nutrient calculation and palate development?
Webinar
In this webinar we will look at the weaning journey: –
- When to start weaning
- What foods, when and how?
- How foods and food language influence palate development
Weaning Menu
A weaning menu should be designed to support the rapid biological growth and development that goes on in the very early stages of life. This is also a time when food preferences start to take shape so foods introduced at this stage form a crucial part of shaping a child’s food preferences, habits and food behaviours.
