THREE IN FOUR PARENTS NOW TURN TO AI FOR WEANING SUPPORT, ALDI FINDS
14 May, 2026Three in four parents are now turning to AI tools such as ChatGPT for help with weaning their babies, new research from Aldi reveals.
Parents are now almost as likely to use AI (52%) as they are to rely on friends and family (54%) for quick advice or reassurance, while over a third (36%) say they trust both equally.
While AI is helping to boost confidence – with 84% of parents saying it makes them feel more assured about weaning – many still feel overwhelmed. Nearly half (47%) worry about whether they’re doing it “right”, while others struggle with portion sizes (37%), what foods to introduce first (36%), and navigating conflicting advice (29%).
To support parents during National Weaning Week (11th–15th May), Aldi has partnered with children’s dietitian and feeding specialist Lucy Upton to provide expert-backed guidance, alongside a range of simple, affordable weaning recipes designed to make mealtimes easier for families.
