In partnership with V&Me
As your baby grows, you'll begin to notice exciting changes in their abilities and behaviour. At 6-7 months old, babies become more mobile and may start to sit up without support. They also begin to develop their fine motor skills, such as picking up smaller objects and bringing them to their mouths. They may even start to imitate sounds you make.
Read on for some ideas of fun activities for 6-7 month old babies and also top tips on weaning from our partner V&Me.
Use PEBBLE10 for 10% off your first four orders with V&Me (code expires end of June 2023)!
And V&Me's ultimate weaning kit is on sale for £170 until 2nd June 2023.
What are the best activities for 6-7 month old babies?
At around 6-7 months, your little one is at the perfect age to benefit from increased exposure to music. Not only can music classes stimulate your baby's brain development and listening skills, but they can also provide a fun and interactive environment for your baby to explore new sounds and movements. Discover a variety of music classes near you on Pebble.
What should 6-7 month old babies eat?
Around 6 months, solids are introduced to your baby’s diet. Introducing solids can be a daunting task for parents, but it's an important milestone for your little one's growth and development. Signs of readiness for weaning include your baby being able to sit up with minimal support, having good head control, being interested in food, among others – check out this post from Solid Starts about signs of readiness.
When starting weaning, it's important to think about which foods to introduce and in what order. Introducing green vegetables first has been found to improve babies’ acceptance of bitter and savoury flavours of vegetables later on.
Allergens should be introduced early on, but be careful with foods that can trigger allergic reactions and make sure to introduce these one at a time and in very small amounts. Read more information about allergens on the NHS website before introducing them to your child’s diet.
Read more weaning tips on V&Me’s blog, or check out V&Me’s science-backed, dietitian-designed weaning kit – It includes 70 different foods, delivered weekly over 5 weeks.
Whether you opt for purees or baby-led weaning, it's very important to note the difference between gagging and choking, and how to respond in both situations. First aid training can give you the confidence to deal with weaning, as well as bumps and scratches, as babies become more mobile. You can find first aid classes near you on Pebble.
