sticks are super simple to make and are great for beginner baby led weaners. We started our daughter Ava with steamed broccoli and then worked our way through the vegetable list, same with our baby Lewis. We offered Ava &amp; Lewis a variety of vegetables which all had different textures. We also focused on the vegetables that we high in Iron, which is recommended for babies 6mo+. We either steamed, roasted, boiled or pan fried vegetable sticks. The recipe below has all the vegetables we tried with Ava and Lewis from 6mo+. Its important to cut the vegetables into sticks approx 5-7cm long! So baby can wrap their small fist around it and nibble the top and bottom. If the vegetable is too small your baby will not be able to pick it up and they will get very frustrated.

To maximise absorption of Iron from the vegetables, try to offer a slice of fruit with your choice of vegetable\/s as part of a meal (ie a slice of orange or peach is great to offer after baby has tried the veggie sticks). Fruits that are high in vitamin C include: Citrus fruits (ie orange), Peaches, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.babyledweaningideas.com\/2017\/05\/01\/baked-apple-n-cinnamon-slices\/\">Apples (soft apple is ok)<\/a>, Bananas, Berries, Tomatoes (ensure they are cut into big slices and cherry tomatoes in quarters), assist with the absorption of iron.<\/span>&#13;\n                <\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeInstructions\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/HowToStep\">&#13;<br \/>\n                    <span class=\"step\">Step 4<\/span>&#13;<br \/>\n                    <span itemprop=\"text\"> <strong>Always ensure you watch your baby or toddler at all times when they are eating<\/strong>, especially if there is skin left on a vegetables for baby to hold as a handle\/grip. Any hard vegetable that cannot be squished or mashed using thumb and index finger and tough hard skins should be avoided or use the techniques above to make vegetables a safer texture or size\/shape for your baby. Remove skins as needed. Do note: raw carrot and raw celery may be a choking hazard for babies under 12 months. Each baby is different and develop chewing abilities at different ages. Parents need to gauge their babies ability with offering more raw textures. Do what you feel comfortable in offering to your baby. Eg. Some babies can eat thin sticks of raw carrot at 13 months, some later at 18 months. \u00a0 <\/span>&#13;\n                <\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n                            <\/ul>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        <!-- \/Post Content --><\/p>\n<p>                    <!-- Related Posts --><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>        <!-- \/Related Posts --><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>        <!-- Post Comments --><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>                <!-- \/Post Comments --><\/p><\/div>\n<p>    <!-- \/Main Column --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Sidebar --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/Sidebar --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \/Two Columns --><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><!-- \/Footer Widgets --><\/p>\n<p>        <!-- Footer --><br \/>\n        <!-- \/Container -->\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \/Main Wrapper --><\/p>\n<p class=\"woocommerce-store-notice demo_store\" data-notice-id=\"45d820cd1c2c9445aeb5656597ce90522\" style=\"display:none;\">We noticed you&#8217;re visiting from Netherlands.
