Baby Africa. Nutrition for babies from 6 to 24 months. Discover the richness of African flavors.
Understanding the nutritional needs of our toddlers can be a challenge, especially when you want to incorporate the identity and culinary richness of a culture like that of Africa. You will discover the nutrition of babies from 0 to 24 months and how the application dedicated to baby food offers a range of African recipes adapted to each stage of your baby's development.
**From 0 to 6 months: The importance of breast milk**
During the first six months, breast milk is the best food for your baby. It contains all the nutrients necessary for the development of your child. If for some reason breastfeeding is not possible, infant formula can be used as a substitute.
**From 6 to 8 months: Introduction of food diversification**
It is from this period that the application begins to prove useful. It offers a multitude of recipes with African flavors to introduce your child to new textures and flavors. Mashed sweet potatoes, plantains or corn are great options to start with. These foods are rich in essential vitamins and minerals, in addition to introducing your baby to traditional African flavors.
**From 9 to 12 months: Exploration of new textures**
At this age, babies are beginning to be able to eat more solid foods. This is a great time to introduce slightly more complex meals. Enriched porridges, such as a mixture of ground cereals, are nutritious options. Stews and soups thickened with mashed vegetables are also a great choice.
**From 12 to 24 months: develop food autonomy**
Around the age of one, your child begins to eat more and more solid foods and to develop chewing skills. This is the perfect time to introduce foods adapted of course to the sensitivity of the palate of babies.
In conclusion, your baby's nutrition doesn't have to be a headache. With the Baby Africa app dedicated to baby food, you can browse a variety of African recipes, all suitable for your child's age and stage of development.
