No major allergens flagged for this entry (still introduce one food at a time).

Medium-risk prep checks

  • Cook until mashable between fingers before serving.
  • Prefer wide strips or soft chunks over small round bites.
  • Re-check texture when food cools: some foods harden after cooking.

Allergen introduction checklist

  • Introduce new foods in the daytime so you can watch for reactions.
  • When introducing a new allergen, keep it as the only new food for that meal.
  • If tolerated, repeat the food regularly in small amounts.

General feeding checklist

Readiness signs to check

  • Baby can sit upright with minimal support during meals.
  • Hands and mouth coordinate for bringing food to the mouth.
  • Tongue-thrust reflex is reduced, so food is not immediately pushed out.
  • Interest in self-feeding and opening mouth for food cues is visible.

Pause and seek advice if

  • Coughing is persistent or distress does not settle quickly during meals.
  • You notice repeated vomiting, rash, swelling, wheeze, or breathing changes after a food.
  • Baby struggles with swallowing progression over multiple meals despite texture adjustments.
  • There is a known medical condition affecting feeding, growth, or airway safety.
