Once I’ve read - Change the word feed for nourish and you will get an entirely new perspective of feeding your baby.

Choosing easy- to - digest food and food combinations can help your baby’s immune system, digestive system and microbiome to develop well. Offering easy-to digest meals is the way how to avoid putting stress on your baby’s digestive system.

H**p seed oil is benefitial for your and your baby, too. Essencial fatty acids are very important for your baby`s healthy development.
It can be added to first vegetable solids as soon as you start weaning 1-2 drops per meal.

And just to have it said it is not a cannabis oil, it does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, the psychoactive compound in the pot.

If you buy a classic instant baby cereal in shop, it doesn`t need to be cooked, only mixed with warm water. This is because the instant cereal is the most processed form of a grain.
Cereals in a fom or grain or flakes have the highest nutritional value. The more the grain is being processed the less value it has. The next stage is of processed grain is semolina, then flour and instant cereals.

Do you cook the porridge for your baby or do you prefer instant baby cereals?

I definitely support the idea of raising an independent eater. I also believe babies are able to explore food on their own.
However, just because they are able to hold, suck on the food, and even process the food without having teeth, this doesn`t mean their digestive system and intestines are ready for any kind of food right from the start. Different foods have a different impact on the digestive system and other organs as well. The food chosen for your baby should be nourishing and should support your baby`s healthy development.

You can offer puree and still support your baby to become an independent eater.
Starting solids with purees also doesn't mean, you have to keep mashing and mixing the food forever. It is necessary to chunkier food with more texture within 1-2 months to avoid your baby refusing the food at a later stage.

Homemade baby food is actually easy to make. It tastes better and babies are more likely to enjoy vegetables in the future.

Baby food prepared at home from fresh organic whole food is:
🍀more nutritious
🍀fresher
🍀tastier (honestly, have you ever taste that baby food jars?)
🍀give you the opportunity for finger foods
🍀cheaper

Yes, it may require a little bit more time, but it absolutely worth it considering that you are nourishing your baby with the best way you can.

Let`s be honest, do you want to help your child to have a healthy relationship with food? The restriction is not the way. Sooner or later your child will be exposed to sugar or processed food. But the first 2-3 years are so crucial when it comes to food and your baby`s development. It is in your hands to set the direction and create healthy habits. And knowledge can help you to stay on the right track.
Let`s keep in mind sugar is not bad in general. It is the amount of sugar, periodicity you are using it, and also how often you are having it on your plate. That matters.
Because balance is the key,

These are the 5 signs that your baby is ready for first solids. When exactly is the best time to start?
🤱🏻If your baby is breast-fes you can start around the age of 5.5 - 6.5 months.
🍼Formula fed babies can start solids at the age of 17 weeks soonest, however at this age your baby can have only purrees as your baby is too young for finger foods.

Baby`s digestive system is mature enough to start with solids around the age of 6 months or even sooner, however not mature enough to digest everything as we adults do. Keeping in mind this fact, you do not want to offer your baby all kinds of food at once. Rather than that, it is better to introduce different kinds of food categories continuously.

Fermented foods are fantastic for your gut microbiome and bring a lot of benefits, but when can you introduce them to your baby? No need to hurry with all of them, here are 3 different kinds of fermented foods which you can start with. Swipe for the next picture to read more.

Today is the last day of
It aims to highlight the huge benefits of breastfeeding for babies and mamas.

I was lucky to have my breastfeeding journey beautiful. I can clearly remember my worries before my daughter was born. I had a phone call with one of my friends and wanted to ask, what do I need to purchase in case I wouldn`t be able to breastfeed and she said to me - If you want to breastfeed you will and you will not need anything else. And she was right... help to protect her infant from disease.
I am aware, it was not easy for everyone, and feel blessed that my daughter started to latch from the moment we bonded.

There are many advantages to breastfeeding, including immunological (disease protection) and nutritional advantages for the child, but also disease prevention for the mama. Breastmilk is constantly changing to ensure the best fit for the baby. Breastmilk composition changes during feeds, and as your child grows. It also responds to a mother’s environment to help to protect her infant from disease.
According to a study at UCLA, 30 percent of the beneficial bacteria in a baby's intestinal tract come directly from mother's milk.
The list of benefits of breastmilk goes on...
Therefore it is strange for me that in some countries breastfeeding still needs to be normalized, even though it is the most natural thing.
