Summary schedule for Introduction of Foods during Baby’s First Year
Notes:
For Beginner eaters – mix finely pureed food with enough liquid until it pours off the spoon into baby’s mouth. Food should be only slightly thicker than breast/ formula milk.
For 6-7months – Food should still be pureed or mashed until it is a smooth and lumpless consistency. Food can be slightly thicker than beginners – the consistency of thick cream.
For 8-9months - Gradually increase thickness, then chunkiness of food. Offer bite-sized pieces of soft finger foods. Watch very carefully for choking or gagging.
For 10-12 months – Foods should still be fork-mashed or pureed. Never leave your baby alone while eating.
