INSIGHT

Why Early Combination Foods Are Risky

  • Combination foods contain multiple textures and ingredients that overwhelm early eaters.
  • Offering complex dishes early raises choking risk and allergen confusion.
ADVICE

Phase One Focus: Single Foods

  • Start baby led weaning with single, isolated foods for the first eight weeks to build your baby's eating skills.
  • Introduce five new foods weekly, covering fruits, vegetables, starches, proteins, and allergens.
ADVICE

When to Start Combination Foods

  • Begin combination foods around eight months or after eight weeks of baby led weaning.
  • Use recipes like fritters that combine safe ingredients and textures for confident self-feeding.
