ADVICE

Division of Feeding Responsibility

  • Remember, it's not your job to make your baby eat; your role is to provide what, when, and where they eat.
  • Following Ellyn Satter’s Division of Responsibility sets boundaries that help babies develop healthy eating habits.
ADVICE

Poach Fruit to Soften

  • Poach firm fruits like mango and melon to soften them for babies who can't handle hard textures.
  • Poaching also enhances sweetness by releasing natural fructose, making fruit more appealing.
ADVICE

Whole Grains as Porridge Logs

  • Cook whole grains into porridges that cool into gelatinous logs sized for baby fingers.
  • These logs are easier and safer for babies to pick up and self-feed than loose grains.
