Parenting / Re: What are the ideal foods to introduce after lactation
« Last post by Wolf on December 24, 2024, 08:24:11 am »It looks as though Vitamin C should help facilitate the absorption of the non-heme iron in the eggs though, but it doesn't look like there's any vit c in the eggs themselves.. so I was thinking of pairing her meals with eggs with some fruit for the vitamin C.. and yet finding that the fruits highest in vit c are not that easy for a baby to digest! Orange seems to be too acidic and can irritate their digestive system and I'm not sure about bell peppers considering they're a nightshade like tomato and potato and those should be avoided shouldn't they? I also read things like apples are hard for babies to digest because of the pectin or something, and should be cooked before feeding to the baby.. but I'd of course like to try keeping her diet as raw as possible and to avoid cooking where I can, plus doesn't cooking easily destroy vit c thus defeating the purpose of adding the fruit in the first place?
So I'm in a bit of a conundrum at the moment, wondering if anyone has any suggestions for fruits or other foods that are high in vitamin C but easy enough for my baby to digest raw? She turned 9 months old on Thanksgiving Day so she'll be turning 10 months soon, so whatever is appropriate for her age or below? (since I might have more children in the future and will need to know this information for them as well)
