How to prepare each food

Pumpkin

Prep

Steam, roast, or boil pumpkin until very soft, then mash to a smooth purée or offer a finger-length soft-cooked spear. Remove the skin and any seeds. Serve warm and skip salt and added sugar.

Cut

Smooth mash, or a soft finger-length spear, skin and seeds removed.

Chicken

Prep

Cook chicken fully, then purée smooth or finely shred and moisten with breast milk, formula, broth, or a vegetable purée so it isn't dry. Pairing it with a vitamin-C food can help the body use its iron. As an iron-rich first food, it's a good early option.

Cut

Smooth purée, or fine moist shreds.

Putting it together

Prepare each ingredient using the age guidance above, then serve them together.
