Infant & Child Nutrition
Feeding a young child generates more contradictory advice than almost any other area of nutrition, and most of it arrives unsolicited. Start solids at four months, or six. Purees first, or baby-led weaning. Introduce allergens early, or wait.
Some of these questions have clear evidence behind them and some genuinely come down to your family. I will tell you which is which, rather than presenting preference as fact, and help you build an approach that fits how your household actually runs.
