Introducing solids

What are the common concerns for parents?
Starting solids is a huge milestone – exciting, but let’s be real, it can feel a bit overwhelming. No need to stress; Umatie is here as your dream team to guide you through every bite-sized step!

Here’s the lowdown on common concerns (and how to tackle them):

“Is my baby ready?”
Watch for signs like sitting up with support, showing curiosity about your food, and losing the tongue-thrust reflex. Every baby is unique, so follow their lead.

“What should I start with?”
Our Petit Purees brekkies! They are packed with nutrients and perfect for tiny taste buds exploring the world of food.

“What if they gag or choke?”
Gagging is totally normal as your baby learns to handle new textures (phew!). Start with smooth purees and gradually introduce chunkier options like our Dinky Dinners as they become ready.

“What about digestion issues?”
New foods = new surprises in those diapers! Mild constipation is common. Offer small sips of water with meals to keep things moving along.

“Will they even like it?”
Every baby is different – some gobble up anything, while others might need time to warm up to new flavours. Keep mealtimes fun, stay patient, and introduce a variety of tastes to build their palate.

With Umatie’s wholesome, stage-appropriate meals, from smooth purees to chunkier bites, we’ve got your back every step of the way. Let’s make this milestone exciting, joyful, and stress-free because you and your baby make the ultimate dream team!
