Later, baby will rediscover these flavors through more indulgent recipes in the 6-month BLW menu . Pancakes, muffins, cakes, balls, madeleines—there will be something for everyone. The recipes selected for the 6-month BLW menu should be soft and melt in the mouth so baby can easily mash them with their palate, tongue, and gums.
