How to prepare each food
Cottage cheese
Cottage cheese is soft and spoonable, which makes it an easy early food. Use a plain, pasteurized, full-fat tub with no added salt or sugar. Serve it on its own by the spoon, or stir it into vegetable or fruit purée. A smaller-curd style is smoothest at this age.
Spoonable as is, or stirred into purée; no cutting needed.
Peach
Pick a ripe peach that feels soft and gives to gentle pressure, then remove the stone. Mash the flesh smooth, or offer a peeled half or a thick wedge big enough to hold in the fist. If the peach is firm or the skin feels tough, peel it and cook or steam it briefly to soften before mashing.
Stone removed; smooth mash, or a peeled half or thick finger-length wedge.
Always remove the hard stone. A ripe, soft peach is low risk, but a firm or under-ripe one can be a choking hazard, so mash it or cook it soft. Peel away tough skin, which can be hard to manage.
Putting it together
Prepare each ingredient using the age guidance above, then serve them together.
