Keep an eye on

Do NOT buy a product without reading the label
Do not cut too large: choking hazard
Always remove tomato seeds
Do not leave fig skin too thick
Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys
NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden sesame

Texture tip

Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking
For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (1 cm)
Test cooking with a fork: tomato should be melting-tender
KEEP PACKAGING of sensitive products to prove sesame-free
Check LABELS even for 'obvious' products (e.g. corn tortilla packages sometimes share lines with sesame)
Take out 30 min before for better incorporation
