Basics of better baby snacking
Baby snacking doesn't have to be confusing. Understanding the basics of better baby snacking can help moms make
more informed and confident choices for their baby’s growing needs:
Start when your baby is developmentally ready
Most babies are ready to begin complementary feeding at around 6 months, but age should not be the only consideration.
Choose snacks match your baby’s age & developmental stage
Nutritionist’s Note:
Self-feeding is not only about eating. It also helps babies practice hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and feeding independence as they grow.
Look beyond attractive packaging
A healthier baby snack is determined by what’s inside, not just what’s printed outside.
Before choosing a snack, moms should check on:
• The main ingredients
• Any unnecessary artificial colours, flavours and preservatives
• Any added sugar and sodium
• Allergen information
Nutritionist's Note:
A healthier baby snack is not simply the one with the most attractive packaging or marketing claims alone. Reading the ingredient list and nutrition information helps moms make more informed choices.
Snacks should complement,
not replace meals
Baby snacks are meant to help bridge hunger between meals, provide opportunities to practise self-feeding, and introduce new textures and flavours. They work best as part of a balanced diet alongside regular meals and milk feeding.
The Confident Mom
Moving beyond uncertainty about baby snacking to a confident mom who makes informed snacking decisions that match her baby's stage of development and needs.
