After the first birthday, introducing solids is an exciting milestone, but it’s important to avoid certain foods to ensure your baby’s safety and healthy development.

1. Sugar: Stick to natural sweetness from fruits

2. Salt: Excess salt can put strain on an infant’s immature kidneys

3. Honey: Honey may contain harmful bacteria that can cause infant botulism

4. Whole nuts: Whole nuts are a choking hazard. Opt for nut butters instead

5. Egg whites: Egg whites can trigger allergies in young infants

Ensuring a safe and healthy start to eating helps build the foundation for lifelong nutrition
