STAGES

We have chosen not to advise parents of what specific AGE their babies should try our Stage 1, 2 & 3 foods, since every baby develops (and therefore eats) differently.  Let your baby guide you!  We found that our children began eating rice cereal at 5 months & Stage 1 foods shortly thereafter.  They were ready for Stage 2 by 6 months & we introduced them to Stage 3 foods after our pediatricians gave us the go-ahead. For more information, see our Starting Solids section. Always ask your pediatrician which foods are right for your baby.

Stage 1 (Extra Smooth): 

These are your baby's very first experiences with solid  food, so we've chosen what we think are the yummiest flavors that babies most often adore! 

They are pureed finely so the consistancy is just right.

Tastybaby Stage 1 flavors are appropriate for beginning eaters and babies who are just starting solids.  But they are great for older babies, too!  In fact, even toddlers and older children love these delicious single-ingredient-only purees -- we suggest serving them whenever you might choose apple sauce, such as in lunch boxes, etc.

Stage 1 flavors all have only 1 ingredient (to rule out any possible food allergies) and extra-smooth consistency.

Always ask your pediatrician which foods are right for your baby.

Stage 2 (Smooth):

Now your baby is ready to explore more flavors, so we’ve come up with some combinations that enhance the natural taste of our Organic fruit and vegetables.  Our herbs and spices are subtle – just enough to wake up your baby’s natural palate and appetite.  Your baby probably isn’t ready for too much texture yet, so the consistency of these purees is smooth.

Tastybaby Stage 2 flavors are the ideal next step for your beginning eater once he or she has already had gotten the hang of eating.  It is also great for older babies, toddlers and children ... in fact, adults have been known to eat it it, too!  We suggest serving them on their own or as side dishes.

Stage 2 flavors all have slightly more complex flavors & ingredients to encourage babies to develop their palates and smooth consistency, although Bollywood Baby has a little bit more texture.

Always ask your pediatrician which foods are right for your baby.

Stage 3 (Chunky): 

Once your baby has become an accomplished foodie, it’s time to get serious!  Here, we incorporate nutritious sources of protein, such as Organic chicken and Parmesan cheese.  And it’s time for more texture, too, so our Stage 3 purees are chunkier.

Tastybaby Stage 3 flavors are perfect for your baby once he or she is ready to take protein and chunky foods.  It is also great for toddlers and children ... in fact, adults have been known to eat it it, too!  You could serve them as side dishes, although they make complete meals by themselves.

Stage 3 flavors are all palate-pleasing to enhance the protein ingredients and they have a chunky consistency for babies ready to chew!

Always ask your pediatrician which foods are right for your baby.
