This is a baby feeding guide with some of the most nourishing foods for babies and toddlers. Although I recommend sticking to only these foods for ultimate health, digestive, and absorbative reasons, feel free to deviate if this is too strict for you. This is based on information provided by Kim Schuette at Biodynamic Wellness.

-Remember, each baby is different, some will eat larger portions and be ready for more faster.  This is all just part of what makes your baby unique!

Stay rooted in your instincts as a parent, because only you know best.
