TIP

From around 6 months, your baby’s iron stores from birth will start to run out, so you need to include good sources of iron in his diet. These include all leafy green vegetables (broccoli, spinach, beetroot leaves, parsley and peas), lentils, blackstrap molasses and iron-fortified baby cereals. To help with iron absorption, mix with foods rich in vitamin C such as kiwi fruit, blueberries, papaya and mango.
