Record a taste of carrot

Prepare with care

Steam or roast until very soft. Raw carrot is a choking hazard. Cut into thick sticks or rounds. Should be soft enough to squish between your fingers.

Age is a guide, not a readiness assessment. Seat your baby upright and stay with them while eating. The food photo is ingredient inspiration, not a serving-size or texture instruction.
