Cooling down the food

I mostly cook fresh food for my little one, this means that at times she is hungry sooner and I have to cool down her meal, either I put the bowl in a container filled with cool water from the tap and leave it for a few minutes, or if you have already introduced yogurt just take some a spoonful from the fridge and it will help cool down the food.

Always check the temperature of the food on your wrist.

Texture

You can start with purees while starting off solids, but gradually around the age of 9th month give the food a little texture, leave it a little coarse, so that the baby can get used to a variety of textures.
