Weaning triplets is basically chaos served on a plate – but it’s totally doable (and kind of hilarious). The key is to have a plan, embrace the mess, and give yourself plenty of grace.
Start your weaning journey around six months, roughly together. Don’t worry if one baby is ready before the others – perfect synchronicity is a myth. Roughly the same timeframe is more than enough, and it keeps things manageable.
“Weaning isn’t about perfection – it’s about progress. Every messy meal is proof that your babies are learning, growing, and thriving… and so are you.”
Keep meals simple. Single-ingredient purees like carrot, sweet potato, or apple are lifesavers. They’re easy to prep, easy to freeze, and easy to serve to three tiny food critics at once. And speaking of prep, gear up like a pro: three high chairs, bibs, and silicone mats are essential, and batch prepping in freezer trays means one prep session = three meals. Genius.
Embrace the mess. Food will fly, smear, and somehow end up in places you didn’t know existed. Laugh, wipe, and repeat. Bonus: it makes for hilarious photos you’ll cherish later. Make mealtimes social whenever – together, let them watch each other, and enjoy the magic of all three trying the same new food at once.
Small Bites, Big Victories
Don’t stress about how much they eat. Some will gobble, some will nibble. Focus on variety, not quantity. Every tiny bite is a win, so celebrate it like a Michelin star moment. And above all, trust yourself. You know your babies best. If a food doesn’t work today, try again tomorrow. One step forward is still progress, and you’re absolutely nailing it.
