What is Stage 1 Food For Babies?

Stage 1 food for babies refers to one ingredient food that is pureed or thin in its consistency. Here in this pureed food- it means that the bowl should only have thin liquid without any chunks or bites so that the baby can easily swallow it. Stage 1 food is always best to be made with single-ingredient so that the little one is slowly and gradually introduced with new fruits or vegetables.

The sole reason behind this is to let the baby get familiar with different tastes one by one. Also, for you to know about his/her body's digestive and allergic actions.

Can a baby have purees along with Breastfeeding?

Introducing purees to a 4-5 months old baby is okay (after consulting with your pediatrician). Yes! Babies can have purees- as it is the best way for them to adapt to new flavors. However, fruit and vegetable purees for babies are just complimentary food along with breastmilk. Still, it is always crucial for you to get assisted with the doctor's view of the baby's diet plans.
