With the holidays right around the corner, your new baby will be celebrating many firsts. While you prep for your Thanksgiving dinner and festivities, here are a few healthy options for babies with budding teeth.
First Thanksgiving Foods:
- Sweet Potatoes - Sweet potatoes are full of beta carotene and vitamin A. This is the perfect finger food when cut into chunks.
- Tender Turkey - Tender white meat cut up into tiny pieces can be perfect for a young child that has teeth growing in.
- Green Beans - Chopped green beans can be perfect for babies. Just be sure to prepare your green beans separately, casseroles and other green bean dishes contain ingredients that are unsuitable for young babies.
- Pumpkin Pie - Most pumpkin pies are unhealthy (think excess sugar). However, mixing pumpkin puree into a yogurt could be an easy Thanksgiving dessert.
