If you’re navigating the exciting (and sometimes messy) world of baby-led weaning, you’re in the right place! At We Might Be Tiny, we know that introducing solids can be both a joyful and daunting experience. That’s why we’ve put together five of our favourite baby-led weaning recipes to make mealtimes easier, healthier, and fun for little hands to explore.
These recipes are designed to introduce your baby to a variety of flavours and textures, all while minimising waste and mess—especially when paired with our must-have mealtime essentials like Stickie Bowls, Stickie Plates, Feedie Fork & Spoon Sets, and Catchie Bibs. Let’s dig in!
