Preparation Tips:

• Softening: For younger babies, pieces of pita can be softened with breastmilk, formula, or water to make it easier for them to chew and swallow.
• Pita Pockets: For older babies, small pieces of pita can be filled with pureed or finely chopped vegetables and proteins for a nutritious finger food.

Common Allergies: Whole grain pita contains gluten, making it unsuitable for babies with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Introduce it carefully and watch for any signs of an allergic reaction.
