Keep your little one safe and sound with these feeding safety tips:
• Never leave your baby alone when eating because of the risk of choking.
• Don't leave your baby unattended in his/her highchair, even for a couple of minutes.
• Stir foods warmed in the microwave thoroughly and test the temperature on the back of your hand before offering it to your baby.
• Discard unfinished baby food straightaway.
• Sterilize your baby's eating implements until he/she is at least six months old, even if you have a dishwasher.
• Cover home-made baby food before you store it in the fridge or freezer to prevent them coming into contact with raw foods.
• Freeze home-made baby food as soon as it is cool.
• Make sure your fridge is cold enough -- the temperature should always be below 5 degrees C.
