Frequently Asked Questions

What do recipe tags mean for baby food?

Tags label recipes by attribute — first foods, BLW, finger food, iron-rich, quick meal, etc. They let you filter the catalog by what matters most for your baby's stage or your day's constraints.

Which recipes are good for first foods?

First-foods recipes use single ingredients or simple combinations in soft, mashable textures. Iron-rich first foods (meat purees, lentils, fortified cereal) are especially recommended from 6 months when birth iron stores deplete.

What's a quick baby meal?

Quick meals come together in 10 minutes or less — banana with yogurt, mashed avocado on toast, scrambled egg with cheese. They're useful for busy days, but shouldn't replace varied meals long-term.

Can babies eat iron-rich foods every day?

Yes — and ideally they should. Babies 7-12 months need 11 mg of iron daily, and iron stores deplete around 6 months. Aim to include an iron source at 1-2 meals daily and pair plant iron with vitamin C for absorption.

Are 'finger food' and 'BLW' tags the same?

Closely related but not identical. BLW (baby-led weaning) is the feeding APPROACH where babies self-feed from the start. Finger foods are any soft graspable foods babies can pick up — used in BLW but also in combo feeding. Most BLW recipes are finger foods; not all finger foods are strictly BLW.

How do I filter for my baby's age?

Each recipe shows an age range. The most age-relevant tags are: first-foods (6m+), finger-foods (6m+ in strip form, 9m+ pincer), and quick-meal (any age). Combine the tag with the age filter to narrow down the list.
