Getting more veggies into your baby’s diet is a challenge almost every parent encounters on the weaning journey. One of the best greens to start with is broccoli. Its nutritious stem offers a nifty little handle for little hands to grab, while the soft head of the broccoli is squishy and easy to eat. Unlike sweeter veggies, broccoli offers a different kind of flavour and texture for your baby to explore.

Sweet potatoes are a great first food when you start weaning your baby (both baby-led and traditional). They can be prepared in several ways that offer a diversity of textures to keep your little one engaged, and interested in the weaning process, and suit their tastes as they grow and develop.
