Do not leave your little one unattended when eating and drinking
Adding more variety
Once your little one’s enjoyed eating a few simple veggie flavours, you can begin to offer some fruits too, as well as a whole world of new veggie flavours. Introducing a wide range of veg and fruit tastes now means they’ll be more likely to be adventurous eaters later on1. You can also try different types of soft finger foods, such as ripe peach slices, avocado sticks or cooked sweet potato wedges.
As soon as your little one’s 6 months old and getting used to veggie and fruit flavours, there’s no harm in introducing foods from other food groups too, like chicken or pasta. If they’re getting the hang of eating solids, you may want to start feeding them more often too. Try offering two or more different veg or fruit tastes a day. And carry on with their milk feeds as usual.
