How this works

  • 6-8 months: Soft foods cut into thick sticks. Steamed, roasted, or mashed until fork-tender.
  • 9-11 months: More texture, smaller pieces as pincer grasp develops. Softer raw foods like cucumber.
  • 12+ months: Most foods are fair game. More complex textures, mixed dishes, family meals.
