Our children have no real say in what they eat; it all depends on what we choose to give them. By adopting a responsible attitude and giving them a good start in life they are likely to grow up string and healthy.
We all know that a mother's milk is the best start for a baby, but they can't be sustained on that only for very long. Once your baby is ready for solids, it's so easy to make up healthy meals for your child without spending a fortune on ready made stuff.
For a baby's first solid food, choose one kind of fruit and mash it up until is a fine paste. Remember how delicate your baby's digestive system will be and introducing too many new things at once will really upset it. Try a fruit that isn't acidic and will be gentle on their stomach; such as pear or papaya.
As your baby grows and has tried plenty of fruit, their digestive system will be more receptive to other food. Try them with mashed carrot and potato, or a smooth broth. Cereals are also ideal as a next step food.
Try mashing a banana into a thin, porridge like consistency but don't add any sugar. There's no need for it and although you may think it'll make it taste better, your baby doesn't need it.
As they get older, you can add further ingredients. A strained broth that has been made with organic chicken is ideal do they get the nutrients from the chicken without the lumps.
The last thing you want to give your child is a pain through wind, so avoid broccoli, garlic, onions, pulses and the like. These can be introduced later when their digestive system is stronger.
Feeding your baby food that you have made yourself is very rewarding as you know what you are giving your baby and don't have any chemicals added. They are getting fresh and healthy food, thanks to you.
