Let’s cook – involving your baby when you’re preparing food

What to try 

  • When you’re getting a meal ready, have your baby close by if it is safe for them. 
  • Talk to your baby about what you are doing, and show them the ingredients you’re using.  
  • Let them touch and hold ingredients that are safe to be eaten raw and chat with them about what you are doing. Always supervise your baby while they are exploring food.  

 

Good to know 

Involving your baby when you are making food will help them to see mealtimes as a sociable time.
