If you’ve read the first book in our series: Recipes for Growing Me ~6 months, we introduce starting babies on solids for the first time. As your baby continues to grow and develop at ~9 months, the importance of changing food texture is our focus. We highlight additional concepts, including: the importance of essential fats, finger foods and fine grasping, providing positive experiences, use of an open cup, peanut introduction, responsive feeding, and insights for the vegetarian or vegan baby. The series continues to provide suggestions and answer commonly asked questions in a fun, yet informative manner with new bright and happy characters.
