@tummiapp: Sardines for Babies? Yes — Even If They’re a Little Smelly 🐟👶 Around 6 months, your baby’s iron needs increase significantly as the iron stores they were born with begin to run low. That makes iron-rich foods an important part of what goes into their little Tummi. And sardines can be a surprisingly great option. They’re soft, easy to mash, and provide nutrients like iron, protein, omega-3 fats, vitamin B12, and calcium — all helpful during a period of rapid growth and development. Yes, sardines can smell strong. Yes, opening the tin can feel a little intimidating. And yes, they may seem like a strange food to give a baby. But babies don’t know sardines are “weird” yet. Introducing different flavors early can help them become familiar with a wider variety of foods. How to serve them: Mash the sardines well, remove any large or firm bones if present, and mix them into something familiar like mashed avocado, potato, yogurt, or a soft sardine patty. Choose lower-sodium options when possible. You don’t need to serve sardines every day. Think of them as one more nutrient-dense food you can rotate into your baby’s meals. A slightly smelly kitchen for a well-fed Tummi? Worth it. 🧡 #StartingSolids #BabyLedWeaning #firstfoods #babynutrition #BLW
