know more about them so you also have a profound idea of the upcoming lies of the blog.

Stages of Baby Food: Crucial to know for caring for your newborn

Before you delve into the stagewise food, first get to know about the stages.

● Stage 1 ( ranges from 4 to 6 months)
● Stage 2 ( 6 to 9 months)
● Stage 3 ( 10-12 months)

Stage 1 (4 to 6 months)- Time for Purees

As per the suggestion of AAP, breastmilk would be the best meal for the kids at this phase. But
all babies are not the same, and some of them might be ready to have other food at this period.
Purees of stage 1 should be as smooth and thin as the breastmilk so your newborn can have it
safely.

And some of the signs show clearly that you can give purees to your newborn. These signs are:

● Showing interest in other’s food
● Steady control over the head
● Learned to open mouth for a spoon
● Developed the capacity to swallow food from the spoon without chocking the throat

Stage 2 ( 6 to 9 months)- the right time to move to thicker consistency food

As suggested by the doctors at this phase, your toddlers should be able to move towards solid
food with a thicker consistency. The healthiest food you can introduce to your little one at this
stage is mashed food and vegetables. Sweet potatoes, carrots, scrambled eggs, and avocados
are some options you may try during that phase. Like the earlier one, here also are some
distinct signs that show their readiness to have this food. These include:

● Continuously developed oral skills
● Developed capacity for food swallowing

However, if new mom-dads any difficulty arises in recognizing such signs worry no more. Our
professional baby care specialists will be there to take care of the whole thing!

Stage 3 ( 10-12 months)- Your little one is ready to have soft chewable table food

So, it’s the time when your child develops a tendency to become a little foodie. It’s the perfect
time to experiment with their food choices. Try to give soft chewable food at this time so you can
get an idea of their chewing skill as well. But at the same time, don’t forget to follow the safety
measures. Be sure to smash the food properly so your little one does not have any difficulty at
the chewing and swallowing time. Here are the signs for your little one ready to consume the big
kid food.

● Properly developed chewing swallowing skill
● Interest in having the dishes
● Picking up food and bringing them to mouth on their own
