BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Your little baby well, isn’t so little anymore! By now bub is well versed in solid foods, both with the types of foods, the textures and the way they are served. Eating more ‘adult style’ meals that perhaps parents are having for themselves is becoming more common.

FAQS

What changes happen with the meal plan now?

Meals are more complex and varied as bub is eager to explore the world of food. Adding mild herbs and even a spice (think cinnamon) will help develop tastebuds for a range of sensations.


It is still advised that breastmilk be given until at least 12 months of age and if bub is on formula this is important to continue feeding up to 12 months. Many parents will replace formula with cows milk at this stage however it’s not a requirement and instead calcium and protein intake can be supplemented from other sources.

What’s new that I can feed my toddler at 12 months?

The variety of food continues to widen as bub gets older and at this milestone it’s recommended that bub can be introduced to honey, but never before 12 months of age as honey may contain harmful bacteria for young ones. As with every milestone stage where large developmental changes occur, always speak with your maternal health nurse or paediatrician that may know your baby well.


At this stage pouch meals may play out as frozen treats, smoothies, daily yoghurts and on the go meals. TIP: they are a great way to introduce new “challenging” flavours such as mint in a cherry smoothie.


Bub will love being able to hold and squeeze the pouch herself, encouraging independent feeding and self confidence.
