Weaning is an important time in our babies development for both us and our little ones. Discovering new foods and tastes together can be difficult but exciting!
Tesco have just released a brand new
weaning surveyand want to know about our weaning and feeding experiences with our babies. As a thank you they are offering the chance to win a £50 Tesco voucher. The survey is quick and easy and actually gets you thinking about what you're feeding your baby. And, of course, especially with the cost of living these days the chance to win a £50 voucher is a very nice incentive.I've just completed it and I thought it would be fun and perhaps interesting to other Mums to share my own answers with you..
