New to Bounty?
At around six months of age, your baby may be showing you signs that they’re ready to graduate from milk to real food.
Sounds simple enough … but unless you want to wear their meal there is a little bit involved in this milestone transition.
Food preparation rules when bub moves to solids:
- Wash and remove peel, pips, stalks and husks from fruit or vegetables, then cut into evenly sized pieces so they all cook in the same amount of time.
- Allow food to cool before pureeing – it needs to be fairly sloppy in the early days. To thin it, mix in a little breastmilk or use the water in which you cooked the vegetables.
- Some commercial rice cereals may cause constipation, so mix them with lots of fruit and veg.
- Always test the temperature of baby food before offering it.
- Never reheat in a microwave because it heats unevenly.
- As your baby’s appetite increases, use a food processor or blender to puree larger quantities.
When it comes to serving top the food, below you’ll find some of the things you’ll need …
