Babies have a “flavor window,” a special period of time before one year when they are most likely to accept new foods and flavors. 

 

Taking advantage of this special window of time can help with their acceptance of food down the road (*Ahem, help with that picky eating phase.)

 

I made this checklist to use with my son as we start and progress through solids so I can track the foods we have offered. I hope it helps you too!
