With November Produce List in hand, let’s see what we can give to our little ones each month. Introducing new food to little ones is a challenge, so always consult your pediatrician.
Check out this November Produce List + Recipes. Making #babyfood at home is so easy. Click To TweetThe above-given chart is base on what I gave my daughter after consulting her Pediatrician. Every individual child is different, so what worked for me may not work for you.
It’s always better to talk to your pediatrician before introducing new foods, especially if your child suffers from allergies.
Keeping this in mind, let’s go through the details of When To Give:
6 months:
Apple, Sweet Potatoes, and Winter Squash:
These three are the tastiest starter food to digest for young tummies. Filled with essential nutrients, they are the perfect foods to introduce to your little ones. Steaming them and turning them into puree can make a delicious meal.
8 Months:
Beets, Broccoli, Cantaloupe, Corn, Cucumber, Celery, Leeks, Spinach, Turnip, Basil, Parsley, and Rosemary.
Broccoli, beets, celery, corn, leeks, and turnip makes a great addition to your baby’s diet. These can be added to savory purees, soups, and stews.
Cantaloupe and cucumber make a great no-cook meal. Just turning cantaloupe or cucumber into a puree or grating them can turn it into a meal.
While herbs like basil, parsley, and rosemary give the puree a hint of aroma and flavor and make them more enticing for your little ones, my daughter didn’t eat bland purees. She always liked her food with some flavor and aroma.
10 Months:
Lemons, Mandarines, Carrots, Cilantro, Sage, and Thyme.
Carrots are a great source of vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, fiber folate, to name a few.
Carrots are known for their richness of the antioxidant nutrient known as beta-carotene. They also support vision health and have anti-cancer as well as cardiovascular health benefits.
I introduced my daughter to carrots after she completed eight months to be on the safer side. Carrots are linked to Nitrates which can cause a blue baby syndrome in babies, especially those younger than 6 months of age.
Lemons and mandarines are high in Vitamin C. They are perfect for adding some tang to your baby’s food. Introducing your babies to different flavors is crucial since it forms a base to try and accept new flavors and foods later in life.
A little note of caution, when you introduce citrus to your baby’s diet, start with small amounts. I began by just sprinkling a few drops of lemon juice on my daughter’s food.
Citrus is acidic. They might cause diaper rash in some babies. So always start with a few drops and then gradually increase.
Sage and thyme are again a delicious addition to little chunkier puree for your babies. Especially during this soup season, they can turn a meal into a warming soul food.
1 year:
Arugula, Collard greens, Cauliflower, Cabbage, tomatoes, mushrooms, lettuce, and kale.
I also waited until her one-year birthday for the rest of the vegetables before introducing them to her daily diet.
Every individual child is different, so what worked for me may not work for you.
It’s always better to talk to your pediatrician before introducing new foods, especially if your child suffers from allergies.
