Baby’s First Omelette

What we love about eggs for babies is that they can be served in so many different ways. Omelettes make for a great finger food from around 6 months, and here’s a twist they’ll love!

🦠 FOODS TO FIGHT VIRUSES 🦠 ‘tis the seaso

🦠 FOODS TO FIGHT VIRUSES 🦠

‘tis the season for… viruses. And while this time of year may be jam-packed with festive feasts, fun and family, it also unfortunately comes with that dreaded ‘F’ word – the flu!
Eating well is so important to help build a strong and healthy immune system as nutritional deficiencies can make us more susceptible to viruses.
Here are the best foods to munch on to keep that flu at bay!

🍓 Variety is key – by including an array of foods in your diet, including plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, you give yourself a strong fighting chance to avoid getting unwell!
~
🍪 Unfortunately many shop-bought products are highly processed and loaded with sugar. These sugary additive rich foods can destroy your white blood cell’s ability to resist infections for several hours so it’s best to avoid them during this time.
~
🍊 Most people turn to oranges for vitamin C after they’ve caught a cold, and that’s because they’re great at helping build up your immune system – so get chomping on Vitamin C-rich carrots, oranges and leafy veg!
~
🥦 Broccoli is a true superfood and one of the healthiest veg you can eat. It’s packed with vitamins A, C & E as well as many antioxidants. The key to preserving the nutrients is to cook it for only a few minutes.
~
🍅 Tomatoes are another great option as they contain the 3 major antioxidant vitamins - beta carotene, vitamin C and E - which help boost the immune system.
~
🫐Blueberries - these little berries are immune boosting superfoods. Blueberries contain flavonoids a type of antioxidant that can help reduce damage to cells. They are also rich in vitamins C & A
~
🍃 Spinach is not just rich in vitamin C but is also packed with numerous antioxidants and beta carotene which helps boost our immune system - Best when only lightly cooked.
~
🎣 Salmon provides the body with lots of immune boosting omega-3s and are a great source of protein to help combat a weak immune system
~
🥚 Eggs are full of protein, iron and vitamin A which all help boost the immune system – an ideal snack or mealtime idea!

💧 keep hydrated and drink plenty of water.

🥜 WHEN DO YOU INTRODUCE PEANUT BUTTER? 🥜

There is still a lot of confusion over when to introduce potentially allergenic foods like peanut butter into a baby’s diet. There’s no evidence to support delaying the introduction of these foods after 6 months unless there is a history of allergy or your baby suffers from severe eczema, in which case you should get advice from your doctor.
~
It’s important to introduce foods particularly egg and ground peanuts in the same way you would with any other food from 6 months as this can help reduce the risk of babies becoming allergic to them.
~
It’s a good idea to introduce these foods one at a time and in the morning so as to identify if that particular food causes a reaction. Also make sure that your baby is well when you introduce these foods.
~
Using smooth peanut butter without added sugar or salt is a good way to introduce nuts into your babies diet. Check out some of the ways to introduce peanut butter in my Digital Weaning Course. For example...
.
🥜🍠🍎Mix a little peanut butter into a purée of sweet potato and apple.
.
🥜🍞Give your baby fingers of toast with peanut butter.
.
🥜🍌You can make a simple ice cream from whizzed up ripe banana mixed with a little peanut butter

Hands up if pasta is a staple in your house?🍝 I

Hands up if pasta is a staple in your house?🍝 It’s inexpensive, versatile, easy to cook, and perfect for even the youngest of family members. Here’s my guide to shapes and sizes for your baby.

~

✅ 6 - 9 months:
Offer large whole pieces of pasta that will be easy for your baby to pick up such as penne, fusilli or rigatoni. Cooked pieces of pasta are a great weaning food for baby to practice that had to eye coordination. This will be more for practicing their independence than nutrition, so make sure you offer other iron-rich, nutrient-dense foods alongside it too.

On the other end of the scale are baby pasta shapes which I love to use to help introduce texture. Depending on your baby’s development these can be offered from 7 months. I like to make a baby Bolognese and stir through baby pasta shapes or why not add to their favourite puree.

✅ 9 - 12 months:
Continue to add baby pasta shapes to meals and now offer macaroni, or chopped up pappardelle or lasagne. Pasta + sauce = messy business! But at this stage, babies will love to serve themselves or use their hands to scoop a chopped noodle dish into their mouth!

✅ 12 - 18 months +
It’s time to up the fun factor! You can start serving lots of different pasta shapes – think bows, shells and stars or even animal shapes. It’s also spaghetti and noodle time. Explore a wide variety of shapes and textures, chopping as needed. Many toddlers at this age will still prefer to use their hands to eat but let’s face it, who doesn’t get a little messy with spaghetti!?
