Parents are most concerned about the babies physical and mental well being. Healthy eating habits and a nutritional diet are essential for proper growth and development in babies. “Its time to pick a bone with your bones”. You cannot afford to miss out on their bone health. Strong and healthy bone is a very important part of your child's physical health.
During childhood, their bones grow bigger and stronger so it is important to take proper care. The bone density develops rapidly during the 5-12 months and stops once the baby is one year old. Weak bones increase the risk of bone injuries in growing babies as their bones are very fragile. Breastmilk is rich in all nutrients, so it is exclusively recommended to feed your babies until they one year old.
Calcium, Vitamin D, K, and magnesium are the essential nutrients that are needed for healthy bone growth. These nutrients are commonly found in almost all fruits and vegetables. It's better to feed with these vegetables and fruits to the babies either in a puree form or thinly sliced according to the baby's age. You can expose your baby to sunlight as it is the natural source of vitamin D.
6-11 months babies need 260mg of calcium and 400 IU of vitamin D per day. Fruits like orange, papaya, berry, pineapples and beans, broccoli, mushroom, and spinach are rich in calcium and vitamins.
