Stage 2 recipes are thicker purées and soft mashes for babies around 7 to 9 months who can manage more texture. They combine two or more foods, bring in protein and iron-rich ingredients, and move toward lumpier consistency so your baby keeps building chewing skills.
Every recipe on Heartful Sprout is checked against USDA nutrition data and tagged by stage, texture, and allergen, so you can match it to where your child is right now. Save favorites, add them to a meal plan in the app, and share the week with your pediatrician or dietitian.
