MYTH: You have to start with purées.
One of the biggest questions parents have when starting solids is “Am I doing this right?” — and when it comes to how you introduce food, there isn’t just one right way. ❤️
You can offer purées, soft finger foods, or a combination of both. What matters most is that your baby is developmentally ready, foods are prepared safely, and you follow your baby’s cues as they learn to eat.
Weaning doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. You can find an approach that works for you and your baby.
And remember, starting solids is about so much more than just getting food into their tummy — it’s about learning, exploring new tastes and textures, and building confidence around food. 🥑
Save this for when you’re getting ready to start solids, and send it to a parent who might need the reassurance!
