New parents are always torn between feeding babies what’s available on the market and fueling your baby’s body with healthy nutrients – that’s totally normal. It’s tough knowing where to start. Everyone needs a little hand sometimes. Here’s a compilation of some of the healthiest foods you can feed your newborn.
1. Iron-Fortified Rice Cereal
Baby cereal is a great source of carbohydrates, but more than that, that’s a good meal for babies to get their iron once they’re at 5 months – since they can’t eat meat yet. Try tossing in some pureed fruit to help the transition from a milk diet to whole foods. Rice cereal is allergen safe, compared to other grains.
