Main Dishes: baby-led weaning recipes
Main dishes for baby-led weaning: soft meatballs, slow-braised strips, fish cakes, stews and traybakes that your baby can pick up and feed themselves. Most are cooked in one pot or tray and can be shared with the whole family if you season the grown-up portions separately. Every recipe has a 6–8 month and a 9–12 month serving guide and lists its priority allergens.
