Ingredients
How to prepare each food
Yogurt
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.
Spoonable. Serve on a spoon or preloaded; no cutting needed.
Mango
Choose a ripe, soft mango that gives when gently pressed. Peel it and remove the large flat pit, then mash the flesh smooth or offer a finger-length strip to hold and gum. Ripe mango squishes easily between two fingers.
Smooth mash, or a finger-length strip the baby can hold in a fist.
The large flat pit and the slippery skin are not for babies. Always peel the mango and remove the pit before serving.
Oatmeal
Cook oats with plenty of liquid into a smooth, thick oatmeal. Use breast milk, formula, or water, and thin it as needed so it's easy to swallow. Iron-fortified baby oat cereal works well here too.
Smooth, thick oatmeal you can spoon-feed.
Putting it together
Prepare each ingredient using the age guidance above, then serve them together.
