Match the texture to the child’s feeding stage
Delivered baby food needs to suit the child’s development and the advice received about complementary feeding. Smooth purées, mashed textures and pieces are not interchangeable for every baby. Read the suggested age, ingredients and allergen details rather than relying on packaging illustrations. Feeding difficulties or individual needs should be discussed with the healthcare professional who knows the child.
Separate chilled products from frozen portions
Storage depends on the product selected. Check instructions before ordering a large quantity, including freezer space and the period allowed after opening. Prepare portions according to the manufacturer’s directions and check their temperature before feeding. The three linked suppliers offer different formats; an age printed on a label does not replace an individual assessment of readiness or suitability.
