Serving Instructions

All-purpose flour is not served directly, but is an ingredient in many baked and cooked foods. At this age, it can be introduced as part of soft, moist baked goods like pancakes, muffins, or breads, ensuring there are no added sugars and that textures are soft and easy to gum. Serve small pieces (about 1-2 cm or 1/2–3/4 inch) to minimize choking risk, always supervising closely. Combine flour-based foods with iron-rich fillings or spreads to support balanced meals.

Serving Instructions

Continue using all-purpose flour in cooked or baked foods with a soft, moist texture. Offer pieces roughly the size of a chickpea (1–2 cm) that are easy for your child to pick up, chew, and swallow without difficulty. Avoid any added whole nuts or seeds. Pair flour-based items with protein- or iron-rich spreads, fruit, or vegetables. Always supervise and serve with water.

Serving Instructions

Flour-based foods remain a staple and can be served in slightly larger pieces as your child’s chewing skills improve. Continue to avoid hard, dry pieces that might pose a choking risk. Vary the meals to include iron- and vitamin-rich ingredients alongside flour-based dishes. Aim for a portion of 30–60 g (1–2 oz) of baked goods as part of a balanced meal.
