The most important aspect of feeding your baby is to keep it relaxed, fun and varied. Eating seasonally can help, as the produce you buy and eat over the year changes, which keeps baby’s diet interesting!
WHY EAT SEASONALLY?
Eating fruit and vegetables that are in season not only tastes better and have more nutrients, they may help save you money too. Foods with fewer air miles support the environment thanks to lower carbon emissions.
There are also benefits when weaning your baby! Making the most of seasonal foods can support increased exposure to a wide range of tastes, textures and variety during this key phase of development. This has the potential to support a child’s acceptance of a balanced and varied diet as they get older.
MAKING THE MOST
Whether you’re following traditional spoon-feeding with purées, or baby led weaning (or a combination) it’s easy to adapt each method to offer fruit and vegetables in season. Encouraging finger foods helps your baby develop their pincer grip, hand-eye coordination and chewing skills – whilst increasing their familiarity with food being given to them.
