How to prepare each food
Chicken
Cook chicken fully, then purée smooth or finely shred and moisten with breast milk, formula, broth, or a vegetable purée so it isn't dry. Pairing it with a vitamin-C food can help the body use its iron. As an iron-rich first food, it's a good early option.
Smooth purée, or fine moist shreds.
Sweet potato
Steam, roast, or boil until very soft, then offer as a smooth purée or a soft finger-length spear the baby can hold. Peel first.
Smooth purée, or a soft finger-length spear (about the width of an adult finger).
Broccoli
Steam, roast or boil broccoli until a fork slides through it easily, and serve it warm. A whole soft floret gives a handy stalk to hold while the bushy top is easy to gum. The florets should be fork-soft, not crisp. You can also mash or purée cooked broccoli.
Whole soft floret with a stalk to hold, or mashed/puréed.
