Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, mushrooms are safe for babies from 6 months when cooked until soft. They are a good source of vitamins and have a mild, savory flavor. Slice cooked mushrooms into thin strips for younger babies or dice for older babies with a pincer grasp.
Most noodles and pasta are safe from 6 months when cooked until very soft. Great options include fusilli (easy to grip), spaghetti (cut into short lengths), udon noodles, and egg noodles. Avoid instant noodles with seasoning packets due to high sodium.
From 6 months, babies can have small sips of water with meals. Breast milk or formula should remain the primary drink until 12 months. Avoid juice, flavored water, and sugary drinks. After 12 months, whole milk can be introduced as a main drink.
Some prepared foods are fine in moderation, but always check labels for added salt, sugar, and preservatives. Homemade food is ideal because you control the ingredients. The Tummi app helps you identify which prepared foods are safe and which to avoid.
