💨 Abstract

A poll of 1,000 parents found that 53% consider weaning—the process of introducing solid foods to babies—as the hardest part of parenting. Concerns include allergies, choking, ensuring a balanced diet, and managing mess. Most parents felt confident about starting with yogurt, mashed banana, and sweet potato. Expert Rebecca Wilson and Yeo Valley Organic emphasise the importance of introducing a variety of flavours without added sugar.
