How to prepare each food
Chia seeds
Chia seeds must always be soaked first, never given dry. Stir them into milk, water, or a fruit puree and let them sit until they swell into a soft gel, usually 10 to 15 minutes. Mix the gel into oatmeal, yogurt, or mashed fruit. Dry seeds soak up liquid and can clump, so soaking is the key step.
Soaked into a soft gel and mixed into food. Never dry.
Dry chia seeds absorb liquid quickly and can clump or swell, so they should never be offered dry or sprinkled on top of food. Always soak them into a soft gel first; hydrated chia is soft and low risk.
Yogurt
Offer plain, full-fat, pasteurized yogurt on a spoon or preloaded for self-feeding. Skip sweetened or honey-containing varieties. You can stir in a little fruit purée for flavor, or swirl yogurt into other foods.
Spoonable. Serve on a spoon or preloaded; no cutting needed.
Putting it together
Chia seeds soaked overnight in yogurt into a soft spoonable pudding, topped with fruit.
