BEFORE YOU GIVE YOUR BABY CEREAL…

PSA: Baby cereal is NOT a good first food for your baby!

Here is why I do not recommend it and why I like ancestral foods for my babies instead!

I personally focus on an ancestral approach and feed my boys real, whole foods that are loaded with key nutrients and healthy fats to help them grow and develop.

BABY CEREAL IS-

1. High in Arsenic

2. Hard for babies to digest (as they may not be ready to digest grains)

3. Often highly refined and ultra-processed

4. Fortified (meaning that there is usually added iron and folic acid - which can be hard for those with MTHFR)

5. Low in nutrition

6. Typically just a bland, semi-sweet carbohydrate

ANCESTRAL FIRST FOODS FOR BABIES-

1. Sardines

2. Fermented foods

3. Root vegetables

4. Fish roe

5. Bone broth

6. Egg yolk

7. Beef liver
