High Iron Baby Food, Plus More Recipes From Our Readers
Oct 31st, 2009 by Christine
Iron is an essential nutrient for your baby – and making sure that his iron levels are sufficient is very important for his healthy growth and development.
So we are delighted to publish this month’s winning recipe in our Baby Food Recipes Competition, which was sent in to us by Sophie Pennington-Ridge from the UK.
Sophie’s recipe combines iron-rich ingredients with tomatoes, which are high in vitamin C. The vitamin C in the tomatoes helps your baby absorb the iron from the other ingredients very effectively – so Sophie’s recipe is not JUST delicious, it’s very healthy too!
(You can learn more about the role that iron plays in your baby’s diet here).
