Feeding Tips from Other Moms

Age - 1/22/2009

Try mixing rice cereal into baby food to change the texture - this helped me when my baby no longer wanted thin/runny food but hadnt yet mastered chewing.

if you want to know if food is soft enough for your baby to chew (before they have molars) - try mashing a piece of food using your lips. if it mashes then its soft enough.
