The early stages of your baby's feeding journey are crucial for establishing a foundation for healthy eating habits. Introducing a variety of nutritious foods not only excites their taste buds but also enhances their openness to new tastes as they grow. However, coming up with ideas and tracking which foods your baby has tried, liked, or disliked can be a challenging task.
That's where our "First Food Checklist" comes in! This tool is designed to help you keep a detailed record of the different foods your baby explores, along with their reactions. Such insights are invaluable as they help you customise future meals to ensure they are both healthy and appealing, enriching your baby's early dining experiences.
It's important to remember that first impressions aren't always set in stone, especially with babies. Our checklist encourages you to offer the same foods multiple times. A food that isn't favoured one day might be adored the next! Repeated exposure is a key strategy in building a child’s acceptance and enjoyment of new foods. Familiarising them with a food's texture and taste through repeated interactions can make all the difference.
Babies develop at their own pace, which includes their readiness for different food textures. Start with smooth purees for the youngest ones and progress to finely chopped, minced, or mashed foods as they grow and are able to manage more complex textures.
