lumps in foods to some lumps?
* This transition period of moving into more textured foods always makes parents feel anxious and nervous. * Babies are different and many are able to start managing textured foods around seven to eight months of age. * Eight to ten months of age is a good time to introduce lumpier textures (e.g., adding mashed or grated foods to smooth purees). * Ensure that the food pieces are soft, easy to chew, and of small sizes. * Encourage your infant/toddler to develop hand–to-mouth coordination and mouth and jaw development by offering finger foods (e.g., cooked carrot sticks, pieces of soft fruits, vegetable sticks such as zucchini, potato, etc.).
