Starting Solids
From 9 months
Time to chew-chew! Soft chunks are perfect for giving new teeth something to do. Even if your little one doesn’t have teeth yet, they can start chewing soft chunks with just their gums.
Building fine motor skills
From 9 months, babies are working on building fine motor skills (like a pincer grasp), and you may start to see little teeth coming through to help chew soft textures!
