Baby First Foods
|
Don’t be tempted to add salt or sugar to your baby’s food however bland. Salt may harm your baby’s kidneys and sugar will encourage a sweet tooth. A baby is not used to these tastes so will not miss them
If you are a working mum and you don’t think you have the time to prepare fresh baby food, think again… Lots of fruits like banana, papaya and peaches, do not require cooking provided they are ripe – simply mash them with a fork to make instant baby food. A banana is very nutritious and makes ideal convenience food for babies as it comes in it’s own sterile package!

FIRST VEGETABLES: Carrot, potato, swede, parsnip, pumpkin, butternut squash and sweet potato.

Recently the advice was to introduce each new food separately with a space of three days before introducing another food, however unless there is a history of allergy or you are concerned about your baby’s reactions to a certain food, there is no reason why new foods should not be introduced on consecutive days, provided you keep to the list of Best First Foods.
