I love these family recipes for baby led weaning as the great thing about blw is that you can feed your child whatever you’re eating for dinner but the less than great thing is that having a baby doesn’t suddenly fill your head with a million recipe ideas. Spaghetti bolognase again? (We had it again tonight, I feel your pain!)
I’ve shared a lot of stuff about baby led weaning here and today I’m sharing some gorgeous looking family recipes for baby led weaning.
There’s loads of fabulous recipes here but if you need some more inspiration I’ve also shared some of my favourite family recipe books for baby led weaning and if you check out the links at the bottom of this page you’ll also find loads of ideas for baby led weaning dinners as well as ideas for things your kid can eat if they don’t have any teeth yet!
Got a recipe your baby loves that you love too? Tell me about it in the comments as I’d love to share that too.

Our Favourite Books for Family Recipes for Baby Led Weaning
When we did baby led weaning with our kids there were two books that really stood out and that we referred to again and again.
The first was The Baby Led Weaning Cookbook which is a great resource and which we used loads of times and the second was The River Cottage Baby and Toddler Cookbookwhich includes a couple of purees too but I really enjoyed it.
A couple of newer baby led weaning family recipe books which have come out more recently are Annabel Karmel’s baby led weaning book and Real Food for Babies and Toddlers by Vanessa Clarkson – both of these look good but I haven’t tried them out personally, if you have let me know what you think of them!
The other must have for baby led weaning that I can’t recommend enough wasn’t actually a book but a specific bib – these ones were amazing as they collect a load of the food that your kids drop so it stops you having quite so much waste – or as much stuff to clear up from the floor!
I used mine with both my kids and they were great for slipping in my bag when we went out too.
