How to prepare each food
Oatmeal
Offer oatmeal as a family breakfast, topped with mashed or chopped fruit. Keep it free of added sugar, and watch that toppings stay soft and bite-size.
Served as oatmeal, with any fruit toppings soft and in small pieces.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon can be a regular flavoring in family foods. Add a small amount to oatmeal, baked fruit, French toast, rice pudding, or smoothies. Choose plain ground cinnamon with no added sugar, and keep mixing it into a moist food so it does not become a dry powdery bite.
A pinch of ground cinnamon stirred into moist family food; avoid loose dry powder.
Loose dry cinnamon powder can make a baby cough or gag if it is inhaled. Always mix it into a moist food and never let your baby eat it dry from a spoon.
Guava
Serve peeled, ripe guava in small soft pieces. The seeds can stay in once your toddler chews well, though many find the soft outer flesh easiest. Cut into bite-size pieces and keep an eye on the firmer center.
Peeled, in small bite-size soft pieces; watch the firmer center.
Ripe guava flesh is soft, but the seed-filled center is firm and the seeds are hard. For early eaters, scoop out and discard the seedy core and serve only the soft outer flesh. The skin is edible but can be tough, so peeling it makes the fruit easier to handle.
Putting it together
A smooth blended oatmeal drink with fresh guava, milk, and a touch of cinnamon, strained to remove the seeds.
