Nutritious Meals for Baby

As your baby grows by around six months old, milk alone is no longer enough to meet your baby’s developmental needs and will need to get a more adequate and complete diet from solid foods (supplementary foods). However, many parents are faced with many questions when they start to introduce solid foods to their babies, such as how to start feeding their babies solid foods, which foods to choose at different stages, what to do if their baby is a picky eater or has food allergies ... In this book, dietitian Tan Ye Ting provides detailed answers to the various questions parents have about feeding solid foods, aiming to help parents understand how to build a wide range of food acceptance for their babies through scientific knowledge of nutrition and a wide range of food choices to avoid picky eating problems. Each recipe in this book has been carefully designed to cover all stages up to 1 year old, including 6-7 months old, 8-10 months old and 11-12 months old. From grains, vegetables and fruits to proteins, the variety of foods not only meets your baby’s nutritional needs, but also guide your baby to accept and enjoy a wide range of foods, develop healthy eating habits and raise a non-picky eater baby.
