Smooth Stage (Babies around 6 months) - *To begin, you may need to reduce the amount of spices & onion until your baby is familiar with the flavours. Purée meat & vegetable mixture. Mix with a little baby’s milk to achieve a smooth consistency.
Mashed Stage (Babies 7 to 8 months) - Purée the meat and vegetables into a lumpy, mashed consistency so your baby can experience the different textures.
Chopped Stage (Babies from 8 months) - Chop up any large pieces of meat and serve with mashed potato and chopped vegetables.
Toddlers & Family Foods (From 12 months) - Chop up any large pieces of meat as necessary. Serve with couscous or flat bread as an alternative to potato.
