How to prepare each food
Mango
Keep using ripe, soft mango. As the pincer grasp develops, offer small soft pieces or thin slices peeled and with the pit removed.
Pieces about ½ inch (1 cm) or thin slices, peeled and pit removed.
The large flat pit and the slippery skin are not for babies. Always peel the mango and remove the pit before serving.
Carrot
Keep carrots soft-cooked as your baby's pincer grasp develops. Steam or roast until fork-tender, then offer small soft pieces. Finely grated raw carrot can also be folded into other foods. Avoid any raw hard rounds, coins, or sticks.
Small soft-cooked cubes or pieces (about ½ inch / 1 cm), or finely grated raw carrot mixed in. No raw hard coins or sticks. Cooked pieces must stay fork-soft.
Raw carrot is one of the top choking hazards for young children: it is hard, firm, and breaks into round, airway-sized pieces. Always cook it until soft enough to squish between two fingers, or grate it finely. Avoid raw carrot coins, rounds, sticks, and chunks until around age 4, when chewing is reliable.
Yogurt
Keep offering plain, full-fat, pasteurized yogurt, letting your baby practice self-feeding with a spoon. You can thicken it with mashed fruit or fold it into porridge. Still avoid sweetened and honey-containing yogurts.
Spoonable. Offer on a spoon for self-feeding practice.
Egg
Keep the egg fully cooked and offer it as easy finger food. As the pincer grasp develops, your little one can pick up small pieces on their own.
Offer omelet strips, quartered hard-boiled egg, or chopped scramble.
Rice
Offer soft sticky rice loose for your baby to scoop, or shape cooked rice into small soft balls or patties, on its own or bound with mashed vegetables, egg, or beans, so it is easier to pick up.
Loose sticky grains, or shaped into small soft balls or patties.
Putting it together
Baked mini donuts made with mango, carrot and yogurt.
