As parents, we strive to provide the absolute best for our babies as they grow, and that includes ensuring they receive the vital nutrients needed for healthy growth and development. 

As parents, we naturally want to give our babies the very best start in life, and that includes providing them with the essential nutrients they need to grow strong and healthy. Understanding these needs empowers you to make informed choices about the foods you introduce, ensuring they receive the vital building blocks needed to thrive throughout their first year and beyond.

Understanding Your Baby's Nutritional Needs:

• Essential Nutrients: During the first year, your baby requires a balanced intake of macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) to support their rapid development.

• Introducing Solid Foods: Breastmilk or formula should remain the primary source of nutrition until around 6 months of age. Always consult your paediatrician before introducing solids and follow their guidance on appropriate starting foods and textures.

Building a Balanced Plate for Baby:

• Variety is Key: Expose your baby to a diverse range of flavours and textures to encourage a well-rounded palate and ensure they receive a complete spectrum of nutrients.

• Creating Balanced Meals: Think of your baby's plate as a colourful canvas. Aim to incorporate fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and a source of protein in each meal.
