Keep an eye on

Do NOT buy a product without reading the label
Do not cut too large: choking hazard
Do not leave tough broccoli stems
Always remove peach pit
Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys
NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden soy

Texture tip

Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking
For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (1 cm)
Test cooking with a fork: broccoli should be melting-tender
KEEP PACKAGING of sensitive products to prove soy-free
Check LABELS even for 'obvious' products (e.g. canned beans sometimes have soy additives)
Take out 30 min before for better incorporation
