At first, smooth purees are perfect for your baby's delicate tummy, providing essential nutrients in an easy-to-digest form. But as your baby grows and becomes more curious about food, it's time to introduce chunkier textures! 🥄

When to Introduce Chunkier Foods?

👶 Signs Your Baby is Ready:
✔️ Shows interest in your food
✔️ Can handle a spoon or attempt to self-feed
✔️ Starts chewing or mashing food with gums

As they develop their chewing skills, gradually transition from purees to mashed, soft lumps, and eventually small finger foods. This helps with oral development and encourages independence in eating.

How to Transition?

🔸 Start with thicker purees by mashing instead of blending
🔸 Introduce soft foods like avocado, banana, or well-cooked veggies
🔸 Offer baby-friendly spoons to encourage self-feeding
🔸 Allow exploration—messy eating is part of the learning process!

Let your baby lead the way as they discover new textures and flavors at their own pace. Every baby is different, so be patient and enjoy this exciting milestone!
