Question 10

Do your plans include the 14 FSA-recognised allergens?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they do. Introducing allergenic foods during weaning can feel daunting. Healthy Poppets builds the introduction and ongoing inclusion of the 14 FSA-recognised allergens into your food plan, helping you approach this important part of weaning in a structured, organised way. Healthy Poppets incorporates allergen introduction into its structured food plans (alongside the main weaning foods/meals) so parents don't have to remember when each allergenic food was introduced, as well as which days and how much to continue feeding them. If your little one has allergies, intolerances, or any medical concerns, please add the details at checkout and check with your health professional too.

Question 11

When is the best time to introduce peanuts to my baby, and how can Healthy Poppets help with this?

Accepted Answer

It is generally recommended to introduce smooth peanut butter to your baby around 6 months of age, once they have started eating solid foods, to help reduce the risk of a peanut allergy. Once introduced, it needs to be kept in their diet regularly for around 2-3 times per week. At Healthy Poppets, we provide carefully designed healthy food plans for babies and toddlers aged 6 months to 3 years, which include safe and age-appropriate ways to introduce peanuts as well as the other FSA recognised allergenic foods. Our expert guidance ensures your baby’s diet supports their nutritional needs while minimising allergy risks, giving you confidence during this important stage of your child’s development.

Question 12

Can you cater for allergies or dietary requirements?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If your little one has allergies, intolerances, or specific dietary needs, tell us in the checkout personalisation form and we’ll tailor the plan where we can. If there’s a diagnosed allergy or anything medically complex, it’s always best to check with your health professional as well.

Question 13

Are your food plans a replacement for medical or dietetic advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Our plans are here to support healthy weaning at home, but they don’t replace advice from your GP, health visitor, paediatrician, or dietitian. If your child has a diagnosed allergy or a more complex medical need, it’s always best to check with a health professional as well.

Question 14

How should I safely introduce the 14 common allergens to my baby’s diet according to Healthy Poppets’ recommendations?

Accepted Answer

At Healthy Poppets, we recommend introducing the 14 Food Standards Agency (FSA) recognised allergens—such as peanuts, eggs, milk, wheat, soy, fish, and others—one at a time and in small amounts around 6 months of age, while closely observing your baby for any signs of allergic reaction. Our tailored healthy food plans have a structured allergen schedule built in for you to follow, giving you everything you need. Starting with a single allergen introduced in a controlled environment, waiting 7 days before trying another, to accurately monitor tolerance. This cautious yet proactive approach aligns with current pediatric and Allergy UK guidance to reduce allergy risks and supports your baby’s nutritional needs safely during this critical developmental stage.

Question 15

How many different foods should my baby eat each week to support healthy growth and development?

Accepted Answer

At Healthy Poppets, we recommend introducing your baby to as many different healthy and wholefoods each week, starting small and building up over time to slowly stretch out their tiny tummies. Our carefully crafted plans start out with a handful of different foods each week, increasing up to 35 different foods per week by 12 months. Offering a diverse range of foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, fats and proteins, ensures your baby receives a variety of essential nutrients to support optimal growth, brain development, and developing healthy taste preferences. Our carefully designed food plans for babies and toddlers aged 6 months to 3 years emphasise balanced nutrition and gradual introduction of new foods to promote healthy and lifelong eating habits from an early age.

Question 16

What’s included in a Food Plan Order?

Accepted Answer

Each plan gives you a personalised weaning plan, recipe book and support guide.

Question 17

What’s the difference between a standard plan and a bespoke plan?

Accepted Answer

Our standard plans follow a ready-made age-appropriate structure, while our bespoke plans are tailored to your child’s needs, preferences, and any dietary details you share at checkout. If you’d like something more personal, a bespoke plan is the best fit.

Question 18

Are your plans suitable for baby-led weaning and spoon-feeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they are. Our plans are designed to support different weaning styles, including baby-led weaning, spoon-feeding, or a mixed approach. Tell us a little about how you feed your little one, and we’ll tailor the plan where we can.

Question 19

Why does Healthy Poppets change main foods every 3 days? 👶🥕

Accepted Answer

It might seem like a small detail.But there's actually a lot of thought behind it.When we created Healthy Poppets, we didn't want to give you a new food every single day.And we didn't want to give you the same meals on repeat either.Instead, we change the main foods every 3 days.Why?Because babies often need to experience a food more than once before they decide how they feel about it.Three days gives your baby the opportunity to:👅 Get familiar with a new taste🥣 Experience it in different meals or combinations🤲 Explore the texture more than once🧠 Build familiarity with the food🔎 Give you more opportunity to notice how your baby respondsAnd there's another reason we think those three days matter.Babies don't always eat consistently due to:🦷 Teething🤒 Coming down with something😴 Having an unusually tired day💤 Going through a change in sleep❤️ Simply not feeling like eatingSometimes a baby can be off their food before you notice any obvious signs that they're becoming unwell.If a completely different food is introduced every day, a refusal on one particular day can easily mean:“They don't like that food.”When actually…they just weren't feeling themselves that day.Three days gives you a little more opportunity to offer the food again without immediately writing it off. An then we move on.New foods.New flavours.New textures.New combinations.So your baby's palate continues to expand without sacrificing familiarity and repeated exposure.And allergens are different.Allergenic foods are treated separately from the 3-day main-food rotation.Healthy Poppets incorporates structured introduction of the 14 FSA-recognised allergens into the plan, rather than simply treating them like another ingredient to swap out every three days. Weaning isn't about introducing as many foods as possible, as quickly as possible.It's about finding the right balance between:🌈 Variety👅 Familiarity🔎 Observation🥕 Nutritional diversity❤️ ConfidenceThat's the thinking behind Healthy Poppets.We don't just tell you what to feed your baby.We've thought about how your baby actually experiences food.👉 Want a weaning plan where the thinking has already been done for you? Explore Healthy Poppets and choose your personalised plan.More variety. More confidence. Less guesswork. 🤍

Question 20

Which plan should I choose for my child’s age?

Accepted Answer

Choose the plan that matches your child’s current stage: under 12 months for early weaning, 12-18 months for growing toddlers, and 18 months+ for more varied toddler meals. If you’re not quite sure, pick the closest age band and share any extra details at checkout.

Question 21

Do I need to buy a new plan when my child moves into the next age stage?

Accepted Answer

We recommend moving to the next plan as your child grows, because texture, variety, and mealtime goals change with each stage. Each plan connects seamlessly to the next, ensuring everything is done for you, so you can focus on enjoying this special time with your baby. If you’re unsure which age band to choose, pick the closest one and add a note at checkout.
