Cottage Cheese with Fruit by Shana Priwer and Cynthia Phillips

Beyond Purées
Once your child is 18–24 months old, almost none of her food will need to be puréed. While she may still enjoy thinner textures, it's also a good idea to challenge her with more chewing foods. Most recipes for this age group can be fork-mashed or simply served as is.
