@tummiapp: 🚨 Your 6-month-old NEEDS iron! 🥩🧠 Around 6 months, your baby’s natural iron stores start running low. That’s why iron-rich foods are SO important when starting solids! 🧠 Why does iron matter? Iron supports brain development, learning, growth, and helps carry oxygen throughout the body. Not getting enough can affect your baby’s development! 🥩 Best iron-rich foods for babies: 🥩 Beef – Easily absorbed iron, great for brain development 🍗 Chicken thighs – Iron + protein for growth 🫘 Lentils & beans – Plant-based iron and fiber 🍳 Eggs – Iron + choline for brain health 🌱 Tofu – Soft, easy-to-serve plant-based iron 🍓 MOM TIP: Pair plant-based iron foods with vitamin C-rich fruits or veggies to boost absorption! ❤️ Breast milk or formula is still your baby’s main nutrition, but iron-rich solids are becoming essential! 📱 Not sure how to safely prepare these foods for your baby?
