Baby Nutrition & Healthy Eating

A balanced diet lays the foundation for lifelong wellness. Key points include:

  • Introducing solids safely: Start with gentle purées and gradually add textures.
  • Diverse foods: Include fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and healthy fats.
  • Allergen awareness: Introduce common allergens (like eggs, peanut, dairy) one at a time, watching for reactions.

Safety at Mealtime

Keeping your baby safe during feeding is essential:

  • Choking hazards: Avoid hard, small foods like nuts or whole grapes.
  • Supervision: Always feed your baby in a seated, upright position.
  • Hygiene: Wash hands, utensils, and highchairs thoroughly.

General Baby Wellness Tips

Wellbeing goes beyond food. Consider these daily habits:

  • Sleep: Ensure your baby gets age-appropriate sleep.
  • Hydration: Offer breastmilk, formula, or water (after 6 months).
  • Physical activity: Encourage tummy time, crawling, and play.
  • Healthcare: Keep up with vaccines, check-ups, and developmental milestones.

Emotional & Sensory Development

  • Talk, sing, and interact regularly to support social and language skills.
  • Provide safe sensory experiences through textures, sounds, and exploration.

When to Seek Professional Advice

Always contact your pediatrician if you notice:

  • Severe allergic reactions
  • Feeding difficulties
  • Unusual changes in sleep, growth, or behavior

✨ At Smol Eats, we believe that baby wellness is holistic—covering nutrition, safety, emotional development, and daily routines. With the right knowledge and careful habits, you can help your baby grow strong, happy, and healthy every step of the way.
