What’s next after the introduction of Stage Two foods?

It’s pretty easy to track down different recommendations for ‘first foods’ and even those foods that come next, but I do get a lot of questions about how to create complete meals once all those fantastic flavors have been introduced.

Here are some suggestions for babies from around 8 months (that age is not set in stone). Many Nutritionists and Doctors disagree on introduction ages – some say sooner for certain foods, and some say later…so please do confirm the go ahead, with yours first.

Mixing it up:

• Steamed and pureed apple and spinach, with chicken and quinoa (Use finely ground chicken or a few spins in the food processor for the whole meal).

• Teeny vegetable based pasta, with fruit yogurt and pureed peas.

• Barley and lentils, cooked in beef broth and smashed with carrots & green beans.

• Steel cut oatmeal, cooked with tiny peach and apple dice.

• Rice, with avocado, cottage cheese, and roasted squash.

Get creative and…Live Well.
