Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Baby & Kids Nutrition

Q:When should I start introducing solid foods to my baby?
According to WHO guidelines, babies should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life. Around 6 months, you can begin introducing complementary solid foods alongside continued breastfeeding. Signs of readiness include sitting up with support, showing interest in food, and being able to move food to the back of the mouth to swallow.
Q:What are the best first foods for a 6-month-old baby?
Great first foods for babies at 6 months include single-ingredient purees like sweet potato, avocado, banana, peas, and butternut squash. Iron-rich foods like pureed meat, lentils, and iron-fortified cereals are especially important. Start with smooth purees and gradually increase texture as your baby develops.
Q:How do I know if my baby has a food allergy?
Common signs of food allergies in babies include hives or skin rashes, swelling of the face or lips, vomiting or diarrhea, and difficulty breathing. Introduce common allergens (eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, milk, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish) one at a time, waiting 3-5 days between new foods. If you notice any allergic reactions, stop the food and consult your pediatrician immediately.
Q:What is baby-led weaning and is it safe?
Baby-led weaning (BLW) is an approach where babies feed themselves soft finger foods from around 6 months instead of being spoon-fed purees. Research shows BLW is safe when done correctly - offer soft, appropriately sized foods, always supervise mealtimes, and avoid choking hazards. Many parents use a combination of purees and BLW for a balanced approach.
Q:How much should my toddler eat each day?
Toddlers (1-3 years) typically need 1,000-1,400 calories per day, spread across 3 meals and 2-3 snacks. A general guide: 1-2 tablespoons of each food per year of age per meal. Focus on variety across food groups - fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein, and dairy. Toddler appetites vary day to day, which is completely normal.
Q:What foods should I avoid giving my baby?
Avoid honey before 12 months (risk of botulism), whole nuts and hard raw vegetables (choking hazard), added salt and sugar, cow's milk as a main drink before 12 months, and unpasteurized foods. Always cut round foods like grapes and cherry tomatoes lengthwise. Our recipes are designed with age-appropriate ingredients and include allergen warnings.
Q:How can I handle a picky eater toddler?
Picky eating is normal in toddlers. Strategies include: offering new foods alongside familiar favorites, letting children serve themselves, avoiding pressure or bribery, modeling healthy eating, offering the same food 10-15 times before giving up, and involving kids in meal preparation. Our recipes include kid-friendly versions and age modifications to help expand your child's palate.
Q:Are your recipes suitable for babies with dietary restrictions?
Yes! ActiveLittleSouls supports over 20 dietary filters including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, halal, and kosher options. Each recipe clearly lists allergens and includes age modifications. We also support IDDSI texture modifications for children with swallowing difficulties or special needs.
