Answer to Question 1

When introducing new foods, select single-ingredient foods. Only one new food is offered over a 3- to 5-day period. Commercially prepared baby foods are not a necessity for infants. Parents and caregivers can make baby foods at home using a blender or food processor, or by mashing foods with a fork. Care must be taken, however, to provide developmentally appropriate textures and to use safe food preparation and storage practices. The addition of salt and sugar to baby food is not recommended. The advantage of home-prepared baby food is that a wider variety of foods may be offered, including foods from the family diet.
