Food Safety :Foods To Avoid

Infants and young children under 5 years old are vulnerable to food borne illnesses because they have weaker immune systems than Adults

Their stomachs also produce less acids making it easier for harmful germs to cause harm in their bodies.

This could make food poisoning dangerous for them.

So what foods can we avoid especially when introducing solid foods to our babies?

Here are some👇

🍗Raw or undercooked meat, fish and shellfish

🥚Raw or partially cooked Eggs or foods containing raw Eggs e.g homemade mayonnaise, ice-cream.

🍶All unpasteurized foods and beverages including raw milk, cheese and other dairy foods made from unpasteurized milk.

Brown or White :Which is Best for Your Baby?

Rice cereal is a great baby's first food and a staple in most homes especially white rice.

Rice cereal is a safe place to start as it contains no allergens. It's also easy to pair with a variety of veggies and meat for good taste;

But which is better? Brown Rice or White Rice?

All Rice contains Carbohydrates with small amounts of protein and practically no fat.

While Brown Rice is a whole grain still having all parts of its grain including the fibrous bran, the nutritious germ and the carb-rich endosperm,

White Rice, on the other hand, has been stripped of its bran and germ which is the most nutritious part of the grain.

This leaves white rice with very few essential nutrients which is why Brown Rice is usually considered much healthier than white(Healthline).

Here are some benefits of brown rice over white

🌾Brown Rice has more fiber and antioxidants.

If your baby is suffering from constipation, then Fibre-rich brown rice can help loosen up the stool.

🌾Brown Rice is also rich in B Vitamins, Manganese, Selenium and Magnesium.

These nutrients help your baby's body and brain develop.

For 6months Olds, try this simple recipe.

Ingredients
🌰1/2 cup Brown Rice Powder
🍌1 Banana/Apple Sauce
🥛1/2 cup Breast Milk/Formula

Preparation
🥘Boil one cup of water in a pot and add your Rice powder.

🥘Stir continuously and allow to cook. Occasionally stir every 3-5 minutes to prevent lumps until it's thick and slightly darker brown.

🥘Bring down, stir in your banana mash/Apple sauce. Add the Milk and it's ready!

For older Babies, try stir-fry Veggies(carrots, peas, onions, corn, etc) with Brown Rice. You can add Chicken/Beef.

Whether in the form of cereal or stir-frys, Brown Rice will add fiber, protein and micronutrients to your Child's diet.

Help them develop a taste for whole grains by serving brown rather than white as often as possible.

Note:Brown Rice can be blended dry and kept in an airtight container in the fridge. Always wash, sun dry and slightly roast before dry milling.
