Carrots are a must have, and should be among the 3 foods to be added into our babies diet. Reasons why listed below:

Carrots are rich in fibre, which helps with normal bowel movements for the baby. Also rich in iron, calcium and Vitamin C.

Carrots are also known to very effectively build up the immune system, which is very important in the life of our babies.

Carrots can also be mixed with other cereals or made into a warm soup.

Be adventurous with your baby, try various combinations.

Trust me, babies love the sweet taste of carrots.
