How to prepare each food
Apple
Cook apple until very soft, then mash or puree it smooth, or offer a soft-cooked finger-length wedge. Raw apple is hard and a top choking hazard, so always cook it soft or finely grate it; never serve raw chunks, slices, or sticks.
Smooth puree, soft mash, or a soft-cooked finger-length wedge.
Raw apple is firm and a leading choking hazard for young children. Cook it until fork-soft or grate it finely; avoid raw chunks, slices, and sticks until around age four.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a warm, sweet-smelling spice that adds flavor without any sugar. Stir a small pinch of ground cinnamon into oatmeal, mashed banana, apple or pear puree, or plain yogurt. Always mix it fully into a moist food rather than serving it as loose dry powder.
A small pinch of ground cinnamon fully mixed into moist food, never dry powder on its own.
Loose dry cinnamon powder can make a baby cough or gag if it is inhaled. Always mix it into a moist food and never let your baby eat it dry from a spoon.
