What is the best type of full-fat dairy to give my baby when expanding their diet?
yesAccording to guidelines, you can add a small amount of dairy when you begin expanding my diet. Remember that it should be full-fat dairy and it shouldn't contain salt or sugar. The list of ingredients on the label needs to be as short as possible. Use cream as an addition to the meal only (i.e. in soup). Use it in small quantities because it contains saturated fatty acids.
