Nobody tells you this clearly enough.
The baby will tell you when they're ready for food.
Not the calendar. Not the app. Not the well-meaning relative saying "have you tried a rusk yet?"
The actual signs:
→ Sitting up unaided
→ Reaching out and picking up food themselves
→ Getting it to their own mouth
→ Mouthing it, taking it in, swallowing it
All four. Not one or two.
When those things come together, usually around 6 months, that's developmental readiness. That's the biology working exactly as it should.
Save this for your next weaning conversation.

Our Maternity Nurse Training is coming to London next weekend - July 18–19.
South Kensington, in person with Shel Banks IBCLC Infant Feeding Specialist .
If you're a nanny, night nanny, doula, maternity nurse, nursery nurse, midwife or health visitor, and working with newborns is your world, this is where you go deeper.
Shel Banks is an IBCLC Lactation Consultant with two decades of clinical practice working directly with newborns and families. She has contributed to Cochrane systematic reviews, written national clinical guidelines for NICE, and shaped policy for Bliss. This is the training where she teaches all of it, with real clinical depth, to a small cohort, in a room.
You'll come away with:
✅ OCN Level 3 or 4 accreditation - independently regulated, essay-assessed and externally verified
✅ Lifetime access to the Babyem masterclass vault
✅ Ongoing CPD - live workshops and expert Q&A included
✅ Access to the private practitioner community
✅ Optional placement pathway for eligible England-based graduates
Whether you're formalising your experience, changing direction into newborn care, or adding a recognised credential to your existing practice - the July weekend has very limited places remaining.
