How to cut Buckwheat, 6–8 months
Offer cooked buckwheat in a sausage shape so your baby can grasp it with their hand.
How to cut Avocado, 6–8 months
Cut the avocado into thick strips (about 5 cm long) with a small amount of skin left on for easy gripping. Its natural oils make it slippery, so the skin helps your baby hold it.
How to cut Avocado, 8–10 months
Cut into slightly smaller strips or small cubes (pea-sized). Your baby is developing their pincer grasp, so smaller pieces work well.
How to cut Avocado, 12+ months
Cut into small cubes or thin slices. Children can handle smaller pieces and use utensils.
How to cut Peach, 6–8 months
Offer half of a very ripe peach (pit removed, with skin for better grip). Make sure it's soft and easily mashable. Optionally, peel it and roll it in shredded coconut/nuts for better grip. Supervise closely.
How to cut Peach, 9–11 months
Offer soft, ripe peach slices (with or without skin). Make sure they are easily mashable. If the slices are slippery, try peach halves or roll small pieces in coconut flakes/nuts.
How to cut Peach, 12+ months
Serve ripe peach slices or pieces for self-feeding.
