How to prepare each food
Egg
Hard-cook the egg until both white and yolk are solid, then mash it smooth, or offer a well-set scramble or a soft omelet. A small amount, about a third of an egg, is plenty for a first taste.
Serve as a smooth mash, soft scramble curds, or finely chopped omelet strips.
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.
Oatmeal
Cook oats with plenty of liquid into a smooth, thick oatmeal. Use breast milk, formula, or water, and thin it as needed so it's easy to swallow. Iron-fortified baby oat cereal works well here too.
Smooth, thick oatmeal you can spoon-feed.
Cheese
Use pasteurized, full-fat cheese and offer it finely grated or as a thin smear rather than in pieces. Sprinkle a little grated cheese over soft vegetables or stir it into mash or a soft pasta so it melts in. Choose a mild, lower-salt cheese where you can.
Finely grated or a thin smear stirred through food; never cubes.
A chunk or firm cube of cheese can block a small airway. Serve cheese finely grated, as a thin smear, or in thin soft strips, and avoid large firm pieces.
Putting it together
Mashed broccoli bound with egg and oat flour, pan-cooked into little patties.
