Spelt flour is not served alone but can be used to create soft, cooked foods suitable for babies, such as pancakes, muffins, or porridge. For this age, aim for 1-2 tablespoons (about 7-15g or 0.25-0.5 oz) in a single meal, ideally combined with iron-rich ingredients (such as eggs or lentils) and a source of healthy fat. Offer alongside fruit/vegetable purees for a balanced, varied introduction to grains.

When to Talk to Your Pediatrician

Every child is different, and your pediatrician knows your baby best. If your baby has known allergies, was born prematurely, or has any feeding difficulties, consult your doctor before introducing new foods. If you ever observe signs of an allergic reaction — such as hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing — seek emergency medical care immediately.

Important Safety Disclaimer

Every child develops chewing and swallowing skills at their own pace. The preparation methods shown are general guidelines; you must always evaluate your individual child's ability before serving. By offering this food, you agree to the following:

  • Choking & Preparation: All foods can pose a choking hazard. You are strictly responsible for modifying food sizes and textures to match your child's skills. Always physically inspect this food for hidden hazards (e.g., bones, pits, seeds, splinters, or tough skins) before serving.
  • Food Handling: Ensure all ingredients are properly washed, stored, and cooked to safe internal temperatures to prevent foodborne illness. Never serve raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs to an infant.
  • Allergens: Introduce any new food one at a time. Observe your child closely for signs of an allergic reaction (hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing) and seek emergency medical care immediately if symptoms occur.
  • Strict Supervision: 100% active, arm's-length adult supervision is required at all times while your child is eating or interacting with food.

By using this guide, you agree to our Terms and Conditions.
