How to offer

Place 2–3 nuggets on the high chair tray. Always supervise during feeding. Nuggets should be soft enough to squish between two fingers. Perfect for a 6-month-old's palmar grasp. Flatten for very young starters if needed.

Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Freeze in a single layer for up to 2 months. Reheat in oven until piping hot throughout then cool to appropriate temperature.
