I was the same as one of the other Mums on this post. Mashed everything to start with

Some good advice. I started by mashing all my kids foods and then we moved on from there. Never had an issue.

Great advice . I was safe with the food but mostly trusting my guts .

Great advice, starting your child on solids can be very daunting

We started with pureed food and also introduced new foods this way.

This is some helpful information

We did baby led weaning so my bubba was eating solids at quite a young age, never the less this is fantastic for mums to know about.

This is great advice for all parents starting their child on solids.

This is a simple and practical test. But I also recommend never leaving babies or toddlers unsupervised when eating.

This may still need to be applied to toddlers too ! I remember well when my daughter was little, a toddler died of choking on a piece of apple at the childcare center.

This is something I do without thinking.

We always start our babies with purées, then they get spoon fed meals from our plates, such as pastas, rice, veg and soft meat in very small pieces. When they are starting to feed themselves we begin with biscuits as we know they will dissolve to mush

I think I’ve been doing this without realizing to be honest!!

Very helpful for mammas feeding their babies! You can never be too careful

Very clever idea indeed. A extremely handy tip for first time Mums.

Thank you, this is timely information

Fantastic post to help raise awareness to appropriate foods

This is a great tip and demo and something that would have been handy many years ago.

This makes sense and I think most of us know this, but good to have it spelled out…especially for those who just start parenthood

Very good points to know both about feeding and choking. Thanks for the post.
