- Cut into smaller pieces as your baby’s pincer grasp develops.

Texture Tips
- Dice the peach into very small, soft pieces.
- Allow the oatmeal to cool completely so it holds together better.

Storage
- Fridge: Store cooled pieces in an airtight container.
- Make ahead: Prepare in advance for an easy breakfast on busy mornings.
- To serve: Serve chilled or gently warm, then allow to cool to a safe temperature for baby.
