Baby nutrition between the first and second year of life
After the first year with your baby at the latest, you know how incredibly fast babies develop. Not only do they grow rapidly, but they also learn an incredible amount in a very short time. With their first birthday, they go one step further, literally. Most babies learn to walk, speak their first words and explore their surroundings with all their senses. During this time, your baby's diet plays a major role. Not only the body, but also your baby's brain now needs lots of nutrients, vitamins and energy. A varied and balanced diet is now particularly important for your baby.
Be a role model, also when it comes to nutrition
Your eating habits during pregnancy (and if you were breastfeeding, also during the breastfeeding period) are formative for your baby. But there is something you should definitely take into account as well: Your own eating habits afterwards. Babies and children not only look at us with their big, sweet eyes, they are also interested in everything you do. Including your eating habits. That's why you should not only offer your baby a fresh, healthy and vitamin-rich diet, but also yourself and your whole family.
Preparing fresh porridge at home? No problem at all!
The complementary food start is a big milestone and most mothers and fathers celebrate the first spoonful of porridge or the first BLW bites in particular. Then comes the phase when your baby becomes more active, learns to walk, wants to explore everything, you are out and about a lot with your baby or even a sibling arrives? Then it usually becomes difficult with fresh cooking and all the good intentions of healthy eating. A good option is to cook porridge in large quantities and then freeze it. You can then carefully reheat these at home as required. Or you can make small smoothies from fresh fruit and vegetables for you and your baby (please pay attention to the ingredients here, some types of fruit and vegetables are difficult to digest and not yet suitable for your baby).
Fresh and tasty porridge on the go? Very easy
If you want a fresh and healthy porridge on the go, you can also choose from the many fruity or vegetable porridges from yamo. You can take these with you on all your adventures for up to 6 hours without refrigeration. Yamo's cold-pressed organic porridges are available in practical pots and in 10 different varieties. There are real little gourmet varieties here that are also really tasty for older children. Such as Beetney Spears: with lentils, pear and beetroot.
