Food and Health

At Durham Babies, we prioritize the health and well-being of your little one. Our Food and Health page is dedicated to providing you with comprehensive information on age-appropriate nutrition, baby's growth milestones, and essential health care to ensure your child thrives in their early years.

0-6 Months

During the first six months of your baby's life, breast milk or formula provides all the essential nutrients they need for optimal growth and development. Breastfeeding is encouraged for its numerous benefits, including the transfer of antibodies to boost their immune system. If formula-feeding, we offer guidance on choosing the right formula and proper feeding techniques.

6-12 Months

Around six months, your baby will be ready for solid foods. We guide you through the gentle introduction of purees and soft textures. Age-appropriate foods, such as iron-rich cereals, pureed fruits, and vegetables, are recommended to support their nutritional needs during this exciting stage.

12-18 Months

As your little one approaches their first birthday, they will be eager to explore self-feeding and more textures. We provide tips on introducing soft finger foods, encouraging independence, and promoting fine motor skills.

18 Months and Beyond

Toddlerhood is a time of rapid growth and exploration. Our toddler nutrition section offers guidance on providing a balanced diet that meets their energy needs and supports their cognitive and physical development. We introduce a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy, to cater to their changing tastes and preferences.

Meal Planning and Recipes

Stuck on meal ideas? We've got you covered with nutritious and easy-to-prepare recipes suitable for each stage of your baby's food journey. From purees and porridges to toddler-friendly meals, our recipes are designed to excite young taste buds while prioritizing their nutritional needs.
