Lentils for Babies
Lentils can be one gentle option to explore as your child develops eating skills. Preparation and texture matter — choose what fits their individual abilities.
Prepare it simply
Wash, cook if needed until soft, and serve in a texture that suits your child's feeding abilities.
Ways to pair it
Try one familiar food alongside another when that works for your family.
Keep it low-pressure
Offer small amounts and let your child explore at their own pace.
