Protein doesn’t have to wait. 💛 At around 6 months, babies can safely enjoy many protein-rich foods—and they’re an important part of growth, brain development, and iron intake. Think beyond purées: meats, flaky fish, well-cooked eggs, yogurt, beans, and lentils can all be offered when prepared in baby-safe ways. No teeth required! Early exposure also helps support acceptance of a wide range of flavors and textures. Protein can be on baby’s plate from the very start. 🍽️ #BabyNutrition #InfantFe
