Question

My daughter is 14 months old. Can I still give her Heinz powdered baby food and cans that are suitable for 7 months plus?

Answer

To give your daughter the right amount of nutrients and energy to grow, you may need to offer larger portion sizes of products suitable for babies of 7 months. It's also very important to offer a more adult like texture. Foods for 7 month old babies tend to have a mashed texture and toddlers need a more chopped up texture to held them develop chewing skills as well as the hand to eye co-ordination to feed themself.

 

So it's probably best to offer 7 month foods to your toddler only occasionally, if she really likes them.
