A little over five years ago I was in the middle of introducing solid foods to my first child and found the amount of information on the topic to be a bit overwhelming. As a graphic designer (and mom who needs a feeling of control) I decided to summarize everything I found about baby weaning into an organized infographic. Since posting the first version of this chart back in 2012, I have received an overwhelming response from readers who had been looking for something to help them in their weaning processes. I realized that this chart was doing what I hoped it would — helping other parents (something we all need at one point or another). So, now it is 5 years later and I am just beginning the weaning process all over again with my second child. Plus, this year the American Academy of Pediatrics has changed their recommendations for when to introduce foods that have high allergy risks as they are learning that earlier introductions to highly allergenic foods tend to decrease the risk for developing allergies. I recommend reading all about it here. With all of the changes in the AAP recommendations I knew it was time to redesign the Baby Weaning Chart to reflect those as well as to spruce it up a bit. I hope it helps you and allows you to enjoy the process of watching your little one experience new flavors and textures. You can even circle whether or not your baby liked the food (just remember, if your child doesn’t like it the first time go ahead and wait a while but do try again. Your baby might like it later on down the road). I hope you enjoy watching your little one experience new textures and flavors. Download links are below the chart. ~Kat Please note: the chart is designed for the earliest foods to be introduced somewhere between 4 to 6 months. Many pediatricians recommend waiting until 6 months to do so, but many also encourage offering rice cereal as early as 4 months for the added iron. The choice will be yours. Let’s please not shame others for their choice in this matter, allright moms?

Get the newly updated Baby Weaning Chart with the 2017 AAP guidelines here. Since posting this weaning chart back in 2012, I have received a lot of feedback. Overall, I think most people using this chart have found it helpful as they understand that it is to be used as a guide throughout the long and gradual process of weaning. Of course, since the internet is what it is, I also received negative feedback from parents concerned that this chart promoted introducing foods too early and, thus, encouraged childhood obesity among other concerns. After some thought, I took this post down, but have decided that since it really was helpful to me and my family that I wanted to continue to share that with those out there who are able to use discernment and common sense in the process of introducing foods into their child’s diets. Parents, please remember that each child is different and we should be careful to offer help and support to families rather than judgement and criticism. Thanks and I hope you can benefit from this chart. ~Kat I am currently knee-deep in the weaning process with my 7 month old son and have discovered that, while people have been doing this FOREVER, it’s kind of confusing. You can see that my boy isn’t too sure about bananas just yet. I’ve read flipped through a bunch of baby books and scoured the web for some cohesion of information. My end result was a kind of chaotic mash up of notes. For example, one source suggested that children start certain foods (like meats) at 6 months, but then some sources said to wait until 10 months. Oy vay! My tendency when overwhelmed with information is to chart it out. CHART. IT. OUT. I have to see it before me in some sort of visual order to get a grip and understanding. So, with that…I present the Wee Little One’s Weaning Chart! I’ve put everything together as best as I could and want to give it away! So, feel free to download this Weaning Chart and print it out for use in your home. Check off the foods as you introduce them to your child and circle whether or not your wee little one liked it or whether it ended up on your face (hopefully not). PLEASE NOTE: Some of you have been unable to download the chart when using Internet Explorer. If that’s the case for you try using a different browser like Google Chrome or Firefox. Hope that helps! It’s legal size (8.5 x 14 inches) and I recommend you take the file to your neighborhood printer (ahem, FedEX) and request it be printed on something like a 60lb. matte cover stock. I hope you enjoy this little nerdy chart and pass it along to your mom friends to help them out when it’s their turn. Please note: Every child is different and there are many approaches to weaning. This chart combines several approaches and is in no way an official guide to what is best for your child. All decisions made for your child are your sole responsibility and a consultation with your child’s pediatrician is recommended prior to the introduction of any foods into your child’s diet.
