How to prepare each food
Rice
Cook rice until soft and sticky and let it cool to warm. Serve it as a thick mash or mix it into a vegetable, meat, or fruit purée. Sticky or short-grain rice that clumps is easier for a baby to handle than loose dry grains.
Serve as a thick, sticky mash or blended into a purée. No cutting needed.
Spinach
Cook spinach until soft and wilted, then chop it finely or puree it. It blends easily into other purees, mashed vegetables, yogurt, or well-cooked egg. Serve it folded into a carrier food rather than as loose leaves.
Finely chopped after cooking, or pureed and folded into another food.
Not a high-risk choking food, but a whole raw leaf can bunch up or stick to the roof of the mouth. Cook spinach until wilted and chop it finely, or blend it into a puree, yogurt, egg, or sauce so it mixes through rather than sitting as a loose leaf.
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.
Putting it together
Cooked rice, spinach, and egg blended and pan-cooked into small soft patties.
