For some reason, there seem to be a awful lot of pumpkins in the stores at the moment (..!), so if you haven’t yet introduced your little one to this delightfully delicious veggie, then now is the time to start!
Bursting with beta-carotene, vitamin C and potassium, pumpkins are an excellent food for babies from 6 months of age (or from 4 months if your pediatrician advises it). They puree or mash to a wonderful texture and their versatility means that you’re sure to discover a way to prepare them that your baby will really enjoy.
And, of course, we’re here to help you!
