10 - 12 Months!Now that Baby has grown accustomed to solid foods, you can phase out baby-onlypurées and start creating meals the WHOLE family can enjoy! Spoon an appropriateportion of your family’s soup, pasta, or rice-based dish into the NutriBullet Baby, addwater, and blend until you’ve achieved the proper consistency to serve to Baby aswell. The less custom baby meals you prepare, the more time you will have AWAYfrom the kitchen! Family leftovers can also be puréed in the NutriBullet Baby andstored in the refrigerator or freezer, provided that a used utensil has not touchedthem.Self FeedingIt is very important to encourage self-feeding once your baby has reached 10 months.Provide Baby with a spoon at each meal and serve consistencies that keep theirshape when traveling from bowl to mouth to minimize spillage. Prepare tiny bits offood that Baby can pinch between fingers at every feeding; beans and small pieces offruit make wonderful finger foods for little mouths.Though wheat is included on the First Year No-No List (pg 36), many pediatriciansrecommend pasta and cereal as introductory finger foods. Check with your doctor tosee if your child can benefit from these wheat products at the 10-month mark.Also, if your pediatrician approves, begin adding nuts and nut butters to your baby’sdiet, as they are easy to prepare and full of protein, nutrients, and healthy fats. As withall new foods, follow the 4-day Food Introduction Schedule and document all reac-tions in your Food Journal.Keep Introducing New FlavorsOnce you pass the one-year mark, Baby may become a bit more finicky about tryingnew foods, so do your best to introduce a wide spectrum of textures and flavorsbetween the 10 and 12-month marks.Now that Baby’s dishes contain more ingredients, you will save time by making largerbatches of NutriBullet Baby servings in advance. Schedule one or two days to cook afew favorite single-ingredient purées, and store them in the freezer (see batch cook-ing on g 70). You will then have several ingredients on hand when a recipe calls for aspecific purée—saving you preparation time and allowing you greater creativity on amoment’s notice.7978Feeding Schedulefor Months 10 - 12Food groups: 4 - 5 servings of fruits and vegetables. 4 servings of grains, 2 - 3 servings of protein, 1serving of dairy (1/2 cup yogurt or 1 oz of grated cheese).Food consistency: Increase the chunkiness, plenty of finger foods.Foods: avocado, brown rice cereal, peas, zucchini, squash, apple, pear, banana,sweet potato, asparagus, carrots, green beans, white potato, peach, tofu,cottage cheese, milled oatmeal cereal, milled millet cereal, apricot, cantaloupe, plum,watermelon, broccoli, caulilower, beets, brussel sprouts, lentils, turnip, kale,eggplant, pineapple, greens, nut butter, red meat, ish, turkey, beans, cheese.3 - 4 NutriBullet Baby Servings3 - 4 NutriBullet Baby Servings1 - 2 NutriBullet Baby Servings3 - 4 NutriBullet Baby ServingsWake Up TimeBreakfastLunchSnackDinnerBedtimeBreast/bottleBreast/bottleBreast/bottleWaterBreast/bottleBreast/bottleTime Food DrinkRecipes forMonths 10 - 12visit us on facebook www.nutrifamily.co.uk
