Best First Foods for Baby’s Brain Development

This post is sponsored by Gerber® but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

The first year of a baby’s life can be tricky in more ways than one. When it comes to ensuring your baby is getting enough nutrients, I have always trusted Gerber. It’s hard to know which are the best first foods for baby’s brain development. Rice cereal was perfect for starting solids and the natural choice for both my girls. Single-grain infant cereals are an ideal first food to check for food sensitivities and help develop baby’s eating skills.

Now that Aria is almost one, we continue to feed her cereal on a daily basis to ensure she is getting enough iron in her diet. Breastfed babies need iron too to help support healthy brain development. Cereal is a great addition to breastmilk for breast-feeding moms.

Perfect First Food To Support Heathy Brain Development

Gerber cereal has essential nutrients such as Iron, Zinc, Calcium, Vitamin C, E and six B Vitamins for healthy development. In addition, just two servings of Gerber infant cereal meet 100% of your baby’s daily iron needs. It’s also not made with genetically engineered ingredients, artificial colors or flavors. We also look for the cereal with added DHA to help support brain and eye development. It even includes Probiotic Bifidus BL which helps support digestive health too. I’ll do anything to ensure my babies have proper nutrients to foster healthy growth and development. I’m glad Gerber provides that for my family.
