Nutritionist note
Toddlers benefit from gradually transitioning from mashed foods to meals with soft textures and small lumps.
Parent note: introduce new foods one at a time, adjust texture for your baby’s readiness, and check with your pediatrician for allergies, medical conditions, or feeding concerns.
