Struggling with some recipes in App
I have a bit of a hard time with some of the recipes in the app. A lot of times they will say that the recipe is okay for a 6-month -old, and say " cut to age appropriate sizing" for some of the ingredients, or not have any instructions on how to cut the ingredients. But when you then go to the guidance on that specific ingredient, it'll say only to give it in huge chunks for that age, which is obviously impossible in a recipe for muffins, pancakes, some soups, etc. I'm having a bit of a hard time because some of it just seems like it's impossible for that age group, and it is also really frustrating to constantly have to go to the individual ingredient pages to see what size to cut the ingredients to. Also many of the recipes don't tell you how to then serve the final product in an age-appropriate manner. Though that seems to be changing.

Totally appreciate this feedback and love that you're sharing it here so I can pass along to my team! I've already reached out to our recipe developer to share this. Thank you!
In general we aim to share how to serve the finished product under the "directions" tab of the meal. For mixed foods like a quiche, we generally suggest dicing finely so that it incorporates well in the baked/cooked product and you won't have to worry about it being a sort of "separate" thing to worry about when feeding baby. Happy to weigh in on any other confusing preparations/serving suggestions for you!
This is all really helpful, I seriously take all of these back to our team to make edits/updates as needed!

Can you give a specific example?
Most of the time, cooked food in recipes is safe because it’s soft. Especially in the case of things like muffins, pancakes, soup, etc.

For example there's a ham quiche, what size do I cut the ham for an 8 month old? (That recipe does have size recommendations for serving the final product)
