Frequently Asked Questions
What is a meal type for baby food?
Meal type groups recipes by structure rather than time of day — purees, BLW finger foods, combo plates, porridges, soups, yogurt-based meals, and more. It helps you find recipes that match how you're feeding (spoon-fed vs self-fed) regardless of breakfast/lunch/dinner.
Should I serve purees or BLW finger foods?
Both approaches are evidence-based and safe when done properly. Purees give nutrient density per spoonful; BLW develops chewing and self-feeding earlier. Many families combine — purees on a spoon plus soft finger foods on the tray.
When can babies eat finger foods?
Most babies can eat soft finger foods from around 6 months when they show readiness signs (sitting with support, head control, mouth opening for food). Cut into long thick strips at first, then transition to bite-sized pieces around 9 months as the pincer grasp develops.
What's a 'combo' baby meal?
Combo meals pair multiple components on one plate — for example a soft protein, a starch, and a vegetable. They mirror family-style eating and help babies learn to combine flavors and textures.
Are porridges and soups good for babies?
Yes. Porridges (oat, rice, semolina, millet) are easy to spoon-feed and accept add-ins like fruit or pureed vegetables. Soups serve as a vehicle for protein and vegetables — keep them low-sodium and serve at safe temperatures.
Can I mix meal types in one day?
Yes, and it's encouraged. A day might include a porridge breakfast, BLW finger foods at lunch, and a puree-and-bread combo at dinner. Variety in texture and structure supports oral-motor development.
