To determine if a food is safe for your baby to eat, ask yourself: Can baby break it down easily with just their gums? Is it easily squished between your finger and thumb? In addition to offering pureed or blended foods, here are 6 ways to cut soft and safe foods for baby:

1. Matchsticks
2. Handhelds
3. Shredded
4. Smashed
5. Pinky Strips
6. Pea-sized Cubes

See post for more details about how to safely serve first foods to your baby. Always contact your pediatrician with any questions or concerns regarding first foods.

During this time, your teen might face peer pressure to use alcohol, to***co products, drugs, and to have s*x. Other challenges can be eating disorders, depression, and family problems. At this age, teens make more of their own choices about friends, sports, studying, and school. They become more independent, with their own personality and interests, although parents are still very important.

Playtime provides excellent opportunities to help your child learn and grow. Try this categorizing activity during your next playtime together.

Activity: Watch and Learn (12 months - 2 years)

Use: Playtime

Description: Offer your child something common like a scarf, an empty box, or a pot. Watch to see what they do. Do they try to put the scarf in the box or the lid on the pot? Boost their learning by commenting on what they're doing, "You put the scarf in the box!"

Brainy Background: Helping your child explore what they can do with an object supports curiosity and creativity. They're also building thinking skills to understand the concepts of size and shape.

Actividad: Mira y aprende (12 meses - 2 años)

Uso: El Recreo

Descripción: Dale a tu niño objetos comunes como un pañuelo, una caja vacía o un recipiente con tapa. Observa lo que hace. ¿Intenta poner el pañuelo en la caja o la tapa en el recipiente? Luego, fomenta más aprendizaje al comentar lo que está haciendo, "¡Pusiste el pañuelo en la caja!"

Fondo Inteligente: Cuando le das a tu niño tiempo para explorar todo lo que puede hacer con un simple objeto, apoyas su curiosidad y estimulas la creatividad. Tu niño también está desarrollando habilidades de pensamiento crítico para entender conceptos de tamaño y forma.
