Foods to Avoid
Food trends change frequently and science is evolving from day to day. Current recommendations of foods to avoid with your baby include;
|
Salt

It is important not to add salt. If you are preparing food for the family, season once served; it’s a good habit to get into as too much salt isn’t good for any member of the family.

Sugar
|
Sugar should not be encouraged as it can develop a desire for only sweet foods. In the future, this may lead to tooth decay and bad eating habits. There are so many naturally sweet foods than can be combined to get baby eating and exploring taste and texture that you’ll find you won’t need it anyway.

Honey

Honey should be avoided until your baby is one year old; due to a rare bacteria that can lead to infant botulism.
