Looking ahead: 3RD FOODS PUREES
As your baby makes the transition from sitting by himself to crawling, know that his eating skills will change just as quickly! Expect your baby to be more independent: holding a cup by himself, wanting his own spoon to play with at mealtime, and pushing food away when he’s done. He’ll also begin to move his tongue to push food from one side of his mouth to the other, plus use his jaw and tongue to mash food.
GERBER® 3RD FOODS® purees are just right for babies learning to chew and mash. Dinners, such as Pasta Primavera, contain tender pieces for learning to chew. Plus, Dinners like Turkey Rice & Vegetables and Mixed Vegetables & Chicken have a full serving of vegetables in every jar.
Soon it may be time to introduce your baby to thicker textures during snack time. GRADUATES® Fruit Puffs and Veggie Puffs are a great beginner snack because they dissolve easily in your baby’s mouth.
As your baby becomes more aware of his food environment, make sure to set a good example. The eating habits he learns now can last a lifetime.
Did you know?
When you’re spoon-feeding your baby and she places her fingers in her mouth, she’s learning how to swallow using the same sucking method she uses with the breast and bottle. So even though it’s messy, be sure to let her feel the food in her mouth.
