Nutrition plays an important role in a baby's growth and development. As babies reach the complementary feeding stage, parents begin exploring different foods to provide a variety of essential nutrients.

Understanding baby food nutrition can help parents make informed food choices.

1. Iron

Iron is an important nutrient for babies. Iron-rich complementary foods include well-cooked meat, lentils, beans, and iron-fortified cereals.

2. Protein

Protein supports the body's growth and development. Suitable sources include lentils, beans, eggs, dairy products, and other age-appropriate foods.

3. Calcium

Calcium supports the development of strong bones and teeth. Suitable sources can include yoghurt, cheese, and other age-appropriate dairy foods.

4. Healthy Fats

Healthy fats contribute to energy intake and brain development. Foods such as avocado and suitable oils can be included in complementary meals.

5. Vitamins and Minerals

Fruits and vegetables offer a variety of vitamins and minerals. Offering different colours and types of produce helps introduce nutritional variety.
