Transition to family foods
During the transition to family foods, you can offer your baby (almost) everything – not just various foods, but also using different preparation methods.
Your baby will feel their way through the exciting world of food cautiously or inquisitively – after all, a carrot tastes completely different when finely grated, in a soup or offered whole.
At first, your child will want smoothly blended porridge. Depending on how sensitive their mouth is, food can soon simply be mashed with a fork to leave small pieces to encourage chewing. Even nibbling on a rusk or a crust of bread helps to strengthen the chewing muscles.
Warning, caution, attention
Tips for introducing family foods
At some point, your baby may no longer wish to be fed at all, preferring to learn to spoon-feed themselves. This is not only great fun for them, but also promotes their development.
You can help your child by feeding them with a second spoon or offering finger food alongside.
Eating together as a family will not only help your child to get used to the taste of your family meals, but also to mealtime routines. And, as a pleasant side effect, they will learn to eat and drink independently by imitation. Cook the usual dishes for your family, take out a portion for your baby and only then season your own food.
Even if there is no sign of teeth yet, anything your child can suck and mash against the roof of their mouth with their tongue can be offered.
