POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month3 months agoA. At one year old, your son can start enjoying a wide variety of family foods, but with some precautions to ensure safety and easy digestion. It’s perfectly okay to grind or mash food, especially if he’s still developing chewing skills or teething.
Foods You Can Give Your 1-Year-Old: Soft cooked vegetables: Carrots, peas, pumpkin, potatoes, beans (well cooked and mashed or finely chopped). Fruits: Bananas, apples (cooked or grated), pears, papaya, mangoes, and other soft fruits, mashed or cut into small pieces. Grains: Well-cooked rice, dal (lentils), soft chapati pieces, oats, and porridge. Proteins: Scrambled eggs, soft paneer (cottage cheese), well-cooked chicken, fish (deboned), or lentils. Dairy: Yogurt, cheese (small amounts), and milk (as per pediatrician advice). Finger foods: Small soft pieces of bread, idli, dosa, or soft cooked pasta. Grinding or Mashing Food: Grinding or pureeing food is totally fine if your baby struggles with chewing. It can make food easier to swallow and reduce choking risk. As your son grows and his chewing improves, try gradually giving him more textured foods to help develop those oral motor skills. Important Tips: Avoid added salt, sugar, honey (before 1 year), and processed junk foods. Cut food into small, manageable pieces to prevent choking. Watch closely when he’s eating, especially with finger foods. Introduce one new food at a time to check for allergies or reactions.
