Safety Tips for Baby-Led Weaning

As with any new eating experience, safety is a top priority. When preparing ABC Muffins or any other baby-led weaning recipes, keep the following tips in mind:

Always supervise your baby during meals.
Cut the food into appropriate sizes and shapes that are easy for your baby to grasp (download the Solid Starts app, its sooo helpful for this!)
Introduce one food at a time to watch for any potential allergies or adverse reactions.
Be cautious of choking hazards and avoid small, hard, or round foods until your baby is ready.

Now, let’s get to the recipe!
