Beet Puree Recipe

At or around 6-months old, your baby is likely ready to begin their solid-foods eating journey. Beech-Nut® offers many different jars, pouches, and infant cereals, so you can choose the solid foods that are right for you and your baby! According to the USDA’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 6 months of age is also the time to start exposing infants to potential food allergens, such as dairy and eggs. Contact your pediatrician if you have questions about starting solids.

What feeding stage is my 6-month old in?

At 6-months old, we recommend feeding your baby any of our stage 2 foods. This stage is designed to meet the needs of babies around 6-months and older, and consists of multi-ingredient purees that are less watery than stage 1 purees and infant cereals.

Is my baby ready for multiple ingredient purees?

Typically, around 6 months, babies begin eating smooth purees made up of one or two ingredients. Once you and your pediatrician have determined that your infant is ready for the next stage, they may begin to eat Stage 2 purees, which may be thicker and made of more ingredients. Be sure to consult your pediatrician before introducing new foods or entering a new feeding stage to help ensure your baby is ready.
