Have you started on the weaning adventure with your baby?
It is a new and exciting phase for both you and your baby and I have partnered with Doidy to bring you a fab giveaway.
Doidy is recommended by professionals, trusted by parents and has led ‘Weaning by Design’ for over 70 years as the makers of the famous open slanted Doidy Cup and the new Doidy Bowl with its super-suction base and high-lip to aid baby-led weaning.
Starting to wean your baby can be a confusing time and we know that fussy eating can be a phase that many infants go through. It is important to give your baby a good experience as they try new tastes and textures. Doidy Weaning is on hand to support baby-led weaning as you introduce new tastes and flavours carefully in the early stages to provide your little one with a nutritious and pleasurable start.
In line with NHS guidelines, Doidy recommends using an open cup from around 6 months of age for drinks. With its uniquely slanted design the Doidy Cup helps your baby learn to drink naturally and aids the transition from bottle to cup. The use of a bottle should be discontinued as soon as possible and by 1 year old. The Doidy Bowl is designed to help develop motor skills, with a slanted high lip on one side to allow infants to scoop food up and load more easily onto a spoon, making it perfect for finger foods, purees or soups. And the super-suction base keeps it firmly in place on the highchair or table to minimise messy spills! The Doidy range helps your child to learn to feed and drink independently, learn more about Doidy Weaning here www.doidyweaning.com.
So, the big question is what to put in your Doidy Cup and Bowl?! My First Flavours is here to the rescue with a comprehensive set of personalised weaning charts. The My First Flavours charts capture your baby’s very first flavours and include 35 stickers of fruits and vegetables to plan and track the start of your baby’s weaning journey.
The charts can also be personalised with your baby’s name and photo, making a lovely keepsake. There is also an allergen tracker, so that you can keep a log of any key allergen foods that you decide to try with your baby and capture whether any symptoms were present.
I have a fantastic set of weaning accessories to give away to one lucky winner including:
- A Doidy Cup (choose red, blue or pink)
- A Doidy Bowl (choose from red, blue or pastel pink)
- 3 My First Flavours weaning charts (including a My First Flavours chart, My First Flavour Combinations chart, 2 sheets of stickers and 1 Allergen Tracker).
3 runners up will each be sent a Doidy Cup.

My youngest loved cucumber sticks a pieces of tomatoe, we are due again on christmas day so weaning next year will probably start similar as it was so successful and stress free with my first. I carried on breast feeding until she was about 15 months so weaning was really laid back for us, never had to worry about her getting enough and she took to it really quickly
..fingers crossed the next is the same!!!
Pureed apple
pureed fruit and veg, most likely starting with banana
I gave my daughter baby rice, and then as time has gone on I’ve introduced different fruits & different textured foods
Pureed apple was the first food but right now its all about mashed potato
Baby rice, milky rusks, weetabix and then on to vegetables. Sweet potato I think.
