Starting solids soon? Save this. 👇🏼

A simple reminder of the things that matter most during the 6–12 month stage:

🥦 Variety
🫘 Iron-rich foods
🥜 Allergens
🥑 Different textures
🥛 Milk
🤍 Positive mealtimes

Lunch is just another meal. It doesn’t need 6 different items just because it’s being eaten away from home.

Think leftovers, pasta, eggs, waffles, savoury pancakes and vegetables.

It can be simple, nourishing and made with what you already have at home — which is also much cheaper and more convenient than buying lots of different lunchbox foods every week.

Maximising nutrition and keeping it simple 🤍

Please walk past the ‘baby food’ aisle 🙏

Iron is one of the most important nutrients to focus on when starting solids. Your baby is growing rapidly at this stage and needs more iron than milk alone can provide, which is why it’s important to offer iron-rich foods daily 🤍

Fish is a great food for babies — it provides protein, omega-3s and iodine.

When you can, look for wild-caught fish, especially during the first year, and try to offer fish once or twice a week.

But we do need to be careful with certain types of fish, especially larger fish, as they can contain higher levels of mercury. High levels of mercury can affect a baby’s developing brain and nervous system.

Fish high in mercury to avoid:

• Fresh or frozen tuna
• Shark
• Swordfish
• Marlin
• Orange roughy
• King mackerel

And remember, fish is also a common allergen, so introduce it separately when you’re starting solids and keep offering it regularly once tolerated.

Save this for your next supermarket shop! 🤍

Stop adding chia seeds to everything… 👀

Chia seeds seem to be the latest trend in the nutrition space. But when it come to small children is better to use those few precious bites on nutrient dense foods that are also bioavailable and easy to utilise for our body like eggs, meat, fish & yogurt 🤍

At around 9 months of age, babies start developing their pincer grasp — the ability to pick up small pieces of food using their thumb and index finger.

This is also the stage when they start craving more independence and want to do things by themselves, making it the perfect time to offer more finger foods.

Yes, it will get messy... but that’s all part of the learning! 🤍

By touching, squishing, picking up, and exploring different foods, your baby is building important feeding skills, confidence, and a positive relationship with food.

Have you reached that stage yet?
