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 plum pits
Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys
⚠️ NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden fish

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 fish-free
Check LABELS even for 'obvious' products (e.g. spice mixes sometimes contain fish derivatives)
Take out 30 min before for better incorporation

Adjust the texture (chickpea flour if too sticky)
