Ingredients

How to prepare each food

Yogurt

Prep

Offer plain, full-fat, pasteurized yogurt on a spoon or preloaded for self-feeding. Skip sweetened or honey-containing varieties. You can stir in a little fruit purée for flavor, or swirl yogurt into other foods.

Cut

Spoonable. Serve on a spoon or preloaded; no cutting needed.

Banana

Prep

Use a fully ripe banana so it mashes easily between two fingers. Peel it and offer it as a smooth mash on a spoon, or hand over a finger-length strip the baby can hold with a bit poking out of the fist. A firm or under-ripe banana is harder to manage, so soften it by mashing.

Cut

Smooth mash, or a finger-length strip held in the fist.

Note

Banana is low-risk when fully ripe and soft. A firm or under-ripe banana is harder to manage, so mash it or wait until it ripens. Always supervise eating.

Peanut butter

Prep

Stir a small amount of smooth peanut butter into a warm purée, oatmeal, or yogurt until it is thin and lick-off soft, with no thick blobs. This both gets the allergen in safely and avoids the sticky-glob choking risk. A thin smear on a soft strip of toast works too.

Cut

No pieces. Thin to a smooth, drippy texture, or spread a very thin layer; never a thick blob.

Note

A thick spoonful or blob of peanut butter is a choking hazard because it is sticky and can coat the throat. Always thin it with water, breast milk, formula, or a purée, or spread a very thin layer on a soft food. Whole peanuts and chunky peanut butter are not safe before about age five.

Putting it together

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