My Baby Only Wants Puffs: Moving Beyond Melt-in-the-Mouth Foods
Placeholder article. Replace this body with your final content.
Puffs are a favorite for a reason: they dissolve fast and feel safe. But relying only on puffs can slow down texture development.
Why it happens
Dissolvable foods ask very little of the mouth. Other textures require more chewing and coordination.
Gently expanding textures
- Start with foods that melt, then soft-cooked pieces
- Keep the setup calm and pressure-free
- Offer new textures alongside familiar favorites
Note
[!NOTE] Progress is not always linear. Repeated, low-pressure exposure is what builds comfort over time.
Frequently asked questions
Puffs dissolve instantly, so they feel predictable and low-risk. That comfort can make other textures feel harder by comparison.
