Two New Mums

The ultimate guide to begin your weaning journey! We enlisted the help of two people who helped us, Joe Wicks, aka The Bodycoach and Baby and Child nutritionist Charlotte Stirling Reed. Joe teamed up with Charlotte when he began his own weaning journey with his first daughter Indy which led to the 'Wean in 15' podcast and book as well as Charlottes 'How To Wean Your Baby' plan. From how and what age to start, through to fears of choking and allergy concerns, how to deal with fussy eaters and of course how to enjoy it! All your questions answered to encourage and support you with your weaning adventure!
