Last Updated July 1, 2020
■Guide to start baby food
Estimated age is around 5 to 6 months after birth, but let's check your child's condition.
●I can turn over with my neck and turn over
●If you support me, you can sit down
●Show an interest in food
●Even if you put a spoon or the like in your mouth, it is less likely to push it out with your tongue.
This is a sign to start baby food if you see it.
Let's take a look at when your child is in good health.
■Precautions for hygiene
●Be sure to wash your hands before cooking.
●Wash ingredients such as vegetables, kitchen knives, and cooking utensils such as cutting boards cleanly.
●Let's heat the ingredients well.
●Let's reheat the frozen food ingredients.
●Never give "honey" until the child is over one year old to prevent baby/infant botulism.
(It does not affect breast milk, so mothers can eat it.)
●Early weaning (around 5 to 6 months) "gokkun period"
It is time to practice swallowing smooth grind ingredients and closing the lips and swallow them as "gokkun".
Let's decide the number of meals once a day during the day.

In addition to the previous meal, meals will be served twice a day.
