Starting solids? Keep it simple 🤍
At 6 months, breastmilk or formula is still baby’s main nutrition. Solids are just for learning and exploring.

Here’s how to prepare each single purée:

🥑 Avocado Purée
Mash ripe avocado with a fork until smooth. Add a little breastmilk or formula if needed for thinner texture.

🍠 Sweet Potato Purée
Peel, cut, and steam or boil until very soft. Blend until smooth. Add water, breastmilk, or formula to adjust texture.

🍌 Banana Purée
Mash ripe banana until smooth. You can mix with breastmilk/formula for a creamier texture.

🥕 Carrot Purée
Peel and slice carrots. Steam or boil until very soft. Blend until smooth and thin as needed.

🫛 Pea Purée
Steam peas until soft. Blend well and strain if needed for a smoother texture.

🍎 Apple Purée
Peel, core, and slice apple. Steam until soft, then blend until smooth.

Start with 2–3 tablespoons per meal, 1–2 times a day. Always supervise baby and follow their hunger cues 🤍

Facts about pacifier use

Prolonged pacifier use can silently change a child’s bite, jaw growth, and tooth alignment.

According to guidance from the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), pacifiers are considered safe and appropriate during infancy, especially in the first year of life. However, when use continues beyond early toddler years, it can interfere with normal oral and facial development—often without obvious symptoms at first.

Long-term pacifier habits are associated with open bite, increased overjet, altered tongue posture, and changes in how the upper and lower jaws grow. These changes may affect speech development, chewing efficiency, and can increase the likelihood of needing orthodontic treatment later in childhood.

The AAPD recommends gradually discontinuing pacifier use by around age 2–3, when the risk of long-term dental effects increases. Early guidance, gentle habit-breaking, and routine dental visits allow most children’s bites to self-correct naturally—protecting healthy jaw growth and a well-aligned smile without unnecessary intervention.
