How to prepare each food
Egg
Any well-set form works now, in bite-size pieces. Cook it through and keep added salt low.
Bite-size pieces.
Banana
Offer bite-size soft chunks. A whole peeled banana works for self-feeding too, with supervision, since it mashes as the toddler bites. Keep pieces small and stay close while eating.
Bite-size soft chunks, or a whole peeled banana with supervision.
Banana is low-risk when fully ripe and soft. A firm or under-ripe banana is harder to manage, so mash it or wait until it ripens. Always supervise eating.
Strawberry
Serve ripe strawberries in small bite-size pieces. Slice larger berries, and quarter smaller whole ones lengthwise so no firm, round piece remains. Supervise while eating.
Small bite-size pieces; whole berries sliced or quartered lengthwise.
A whole strawberry is round and firm enough to block a small airway. Cut or mash it so no whole, firm berry is offered. Slice into thin pieces or quarter lengthwise, and choose ripe, soft fruit.
Putting it together
Mash the banana and strawberry, mix into the beaten egg and cook into little pancakes.
