*This recipe is appropriate for babies progressing through the weaning stages, from around 7-9 months of age. Babies may be gradually moving towards 3 meals a day and ready to enjoy a broader variety of textures and flavours.

**When weaning your baby, introduce allergenic foods one at a time and not before 6 months. You can give your baby nuts and peanuts from around 6 months old, as long as they’re crushed, ground or a smooth nut or peanut butter. If there’s a history of food allergies or other allergies in your family, talk to your GP or health visitor before introducing nuts and peanuts. (Source: NHS)
