๐ค Shrimp can be a choking hazard for babies and must be modified safely for new eaters. Shrimp is a nutrient-dense food rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and other essential nutrients that your baby needs to grow and thrive!

๐ There are a ton of options to choose from when it comes to the different types of breadโ , so itโs hard to know which brand is best for your baby.
The key with bread is to look at how it fits within the BIG PICTURE of foods your baby eats regularly and know that itโs not necessary to find the PERFECT one.โ Here is a list of some key things to look for when buying bread for your baby:
โ
โ Since large seeds, whole and even chopped nuts/seeds can be a choking hazard for kids under 4, avoid bread that has seeds/nuts in it. Sometimes, the nuts/seeds are confined to the outer crust, in which case you can just remove the crust and serve the rest.โ โ
โ
โ Look for bread with the least amount of sodium. Most bread types have between 100-200 mg of salt per slice. Aim to find one thatโs 100 mg or less per slice.โ โ
โ
โ Aim for little to no added sugar. Most breads have at least 2 g of added sugar/slice, but there are others out there that do have less!โ
โ
โ Look for bread with NO HONEY in the ingredients. Honey shouldnโt be offered in any shape or form to babies under 1 year due to the risk of contracting infant botulism.โ
โ
โ Babies donโt need tons of fibre, so the focus on whole grains every time isnโt necessary. We suggest alternating between whole grain, white, and other types like sourdough.โ โ
