Serve Meat Warm for Safety
- Serve meat warm or reheated to liquefy fat, reducing choking risk for babies.
- Avoid serving cold meat directly from the fridge as it can pose a choking hazard.
Frozen and Cold Food Tips
- Frozen foods are optional and mainly helpful for teething relief but not necessary.
- Avoid feeding hard raw foods like celery to babies under one; peeled cucumber strips can be given after teething.
Use Room Temp Foods Safely
- Reheat food evenly and cool it to room temperature before serving to avoid scalding your baby's mouth.
- Room temperature foods maintain flavor and are generally safe and suitable for babies.
