By Marika Day. This protein-rich mushroom omelette is a simple and nutrient-dense option for baby-led weaning, thanks to the combination of eggs, cheese, and added flaxseed for healthy fats and fibre. For babies 6–9 months, serve this omelette with mushrooms in soft finger-sized strips they can grasp easily. From around 9 months, you can cut it into small pieces to help them practise their pincer grip
