Mixing Sweet and Savory Salmon and sweet potatoes is such a delicious meal, and it is great for expanding your baby’s taste buds. By combining the sweet potato with the salmon, the sweet potato makes the fishy taste more subtle. So, it is a slow introduction to the flavor. Over time, your child will grow to like the fishy taste on their own. My son’s favorite food is salmon, and he devoured this puree. Plus, salmon is brain food, especially…

Giving Your Baby a Balanced Meal Pureed vegetables is a classic first baby food, and vegetables are nutritious foods with several vitamins and minerals.
