Introducing solid food to babies is a significant milestone in their development. As a parent, I understand the excitement and, at times, the challenges that come with this journey. When I started solids for my daughter, who was a premature baby, I wasn’t well-informed about the best practices. I want to share my experiences and offer you a nutritious and easy-to-digest recipe that helped us on our parenting journey. This is not just a recipe; it’s a blend of my personal experiences and a delicious, wholesome offering for your little one – SWEET POTATO and APPLE PUREE For Babies.

Introducing Solids for Premature Babies: Our Experience and Health Benefits

Sweet Potato Apple Puree for Babies

When I started solids for my daughter who was a premature baby, I wasn’t much aware of these. I wasn’t given many choices but asked to start with Sprouted Ragi Powder which is traditionally the first food here. She had her share of difficulty and digestion issues in the early days as I did not start it correctly. Agreed it’s a great first food for babies, but definitely after you start on easy-going foods like these purees and then cereals. A combination can help your little one cope with a variety of tastes too.

Health Benefits of Sweet Potato for Babies:

• Rich in Vitamin A, Calcium, and Folate and hence is nutritious

• It is a multivitamin with Vitamin C, K, E, and B which enhance growth

• Low fat and keeps babies energized all day long

Health Benefits of Apple for Babies:

Aptly said ‘An Apple a day, keeps the doctors away

• Apple is the healthiest fruit

• Increases metabolism as it is rich in fiber

• It is an antioxidant and immunity booster
