Frequently Asked Questions
What are nutrition tags on baby recipes?
Nutrition tags highlight what a recipe delivers — iron-rich, high-protein, omega-3, fiber-rich, calcium-rich, healthy-fats, vitamin C, and more. They help you target specific nutrients your baby may need at a given stage.
Which nutrients matter most for babies starting solids?
Iron leads from 6 months (birth stores deplete; RDA is 11 mg/day at 7-12 months). Healthy fats (avocado, salmon, egg yolk) support brain development. Calcium and vitamin D matter from 6m for bone growth. Protein and zinc round out the priority list.
Should I track grams of nutrients for my baby?
No precise tracking needed. Aim for variety: include an iron-rich food at 1-2 meals, healthy fats daily, calcium-rich foods (yogurt, cheese, broccoli) regularly, and a wide range of fruits and vegetables. Consistency over a week matters more than any single meal.
What if my baby doesn't get enough iron through food?
Most babies meet iron needs through varied solids from 6 months. Breastfed babies are at higher risk than formula-fed (formula is iron-fortified). If iron intake stays low, your pediatrician may recommend an iron supplement or fortified cereal — not from food labels alone.
Are healthy fats important for babies?
Yes — fats supply ~50% of a baby's calories in the first year and are critical for brain development. Avocado, salmon, full-fat yogurt, olive oil, butter (after 12m for any added butter), and nut butters thinned to a safe consistency are all baby-appropriate sources.
What's the difference between heme and non-heme iron?
Heme iron (from animal foods) is absorbed at 15-35%; non-heme iron (from plants) at 2-20%. Pair plant iron with vitamin C foods (citrus, kiwi, tomato, bell pepper) to dramatically boost absorption. Avoid serving plant iron with cow's milk, dairy, or tea, which block absorption.
