Are You Giving Your Baby The Right Food?
4. Is the food hygienic?
It is crucial that the food that you are feeding to your baby is clean and hygienic. Not only should it be prepared and cooked in a clean environment, but must also be fed with clean utensils and clean hands, in order to avoid germs.
5. Are you giving a ‘balanced’ diet to the baby?
When introducing new foods to your baby, always ensure that you keep in mind the nutritional needs of the child. Introduce mashed potatoes, rice, bread etc. for carbs, eggs and pulses for protein, fruits for vitamins and minerals, yogurt for calcium etc. The idea is to start getting the baby adjusted to various kinds of foods, so that he/she gets into the habit of consuming a balanced and healthy diet.
These pointers will help you to understand if you are giving the right food to your baby or not. Needless to say, each baby’s nutritional needs and development is different, so you must consult your doctor regularly to understand the specific requirements for your baby.
