🚫 What to Keep Off Your Baby’s Menu Before 1 Year 👶🍼
Introducing new tastes is an exciting milestone, but certain ingredients—both solid and liquid—can be tough on a baby’s developing digestive system, kidneys, and immune system.
Dr. Adarsh (Pediatrician & Neonatologist) shares key items to steer clear of between 6 months and 1 year:
❌ Honey (in any form): High risk of infant botulism, whether fed directly or mixed into liquids.
❌ Added Sugar & Salt: Strains young, developing kidneys and masks the natural flavors of whole foods.
❌ Cow’s Milk (as a main drink): Hard to digest compared to breast milk/formula and lacks sufficient iron.
❌ Processed & Packaged Items: Low in essential nutrients, filled with additives, and harsh on tiny stomachs.
✨ What to offer instead? Stick to breast milk or formula alongside fresh, homemade, age-appropriate soft meals (plus small sips of plain water) for safe, healthy growth! 🥣🥑💧
