Can an 11 month old use a highchair?
Short answer: Yes. Weaning starts at around 6 months, so a highchair with a harness is useful now.
Babies change fast, so the answer depends on your child's age, weight and development, and on your product's instructions.
What the guidance says
- The NHS says weaning, introducing solid foods alongside breast milk or first infant formula, starts when your baby is around 6 months old.
