What is the REAL difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 babyfood?

I sent my husband to the store and he came home with 10 packs of Stage 2 babyfood, when our son is almost 5 months old and is on Stage 1 babyfood. Can he eat it? The only thing I noticed is the package is larger.What is the REAL difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 babyfood?
I was feeding my 8 1/2 month old daughter her stage 2 foods and I was like "Man, this stuff is just as runny as stage 1." I don't think there is any difference, you just get more in a jar. At 5 months, I am sure it wouldn't hurt him. Good luck.
it's a tad thicker and there is just more in the jar... he'll be fine with the stage 2What is the REAL difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 babyfood?
i think the only difference is that its a bigger portion... dont feed him all of it
stage 2 is just thickerWhat is the REAL difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 babyfood?
I haven't noticed a change in consistency. I've some times found the stage 2's green beans to be runny. I'm sure that's based on the brand. Other than that, the portion is bigger.



Yes, you can feed it to him if you notice stage 1s aren't filling him up. I changed my daughter to stage 2s once she mastered all the flavors. During the introduction stage, she was eating two containers.
yea he can eat it, it is a bit thicker so watch him to make sure he isnt having trouble swallowing it. also sometimes it has ingredients that are not to be introduced too young, like berries. check to make sure that you are giving him foods that he has already had before without a problem.
In the UK, stage 2 food has lumps in it, my daughter completely skipped this stage, she wouldnt eat the lumps. Try him with it though, theres no harm in trying!
Not much except that its usually a bit more expensive, just a way for them to get more money out of you.



Usually stage 1 is a single food (like bananas) whereas stage 2 can be mixed (mixed fruit for example). Stage 1 is often in 2.5 oz containers whereas stage 2 comes in 3.5 to 4 oz containers. And stage 2 may be a bit thicker, depending on what food it is.
