I’m a stay at home mom and a dietitian. I’m busy, like all parents, and I needed a simple way to ensure I was feeding my baby what she needed. That’s why I created a list of the three essential nutrients all babies need when they’re growing- iron, vitamin C, and carbohydrates and fat.
To use this guide you simply choose one food item from each list and bam! you have a nourishing baby meal. The first few months of starting solids most food ends up on the floor. It’s not always necessary to create a full meal with three food items. Feel free to pick 1-2 items if that’s all you have in your pantry or fridge. This list focuses on whole foods that are free from added salt and sugar.
