- In this video you'll learn about 9 common foods that should never be given to babies. Quite often these unassuming foods in our pantry or fridge look like perfect foods and drinks to give our little ones, but many come with risks that you should be aware of.
These 9 foods should all be avoided, regardless of the method you're using to introduce solid foods to your baby. Whether that's baby led weaning (BLW) or any other method.
Some of these foods are just unhealthy, while some can make babies sick and cause other health problems. This is why it's important to be aware of them.
In the video you'll learn what each of these foods are and why it's recommended to avoid them. As always, my goal is to help inform and educate parents to empower them to make the best decisions for them and their babies.
I hope you enjoy this one!

Hard food
Thanks
not surprising
Thanks for adding chapters!!!
This is so helpful for me! Thank you! My baby will start solids next month. I love watching your videos. The hard part is telling the in-laws and family in general not to give baby certain things because it’s not good for them.
You are so welcome! I agree that part is definitely the hardest part.
@@EmmaHubbard I was trying to get the free meal times you have attached. For some reason i never received it to my email. I checked my spam as well throughout the day and didn’t get anything
Don’t tell them when the baby is in the room ( cuteness is distracting) Be Firm and ask if they heard you. Also tell them it’s ‘ new research from the doctor’. - From a new Mimi 💝
Nobody can tell me what to do with my baby when i know it is not good for my baby
Yea it’s hard when you live with in laws
You are so appreciated. Thank you so much for these videos
Thank you for mentioning juice. I see so many parents giving their small kids juice boxes! Fresh fruit has always been my preference! 🍎
You are so welcome!
Would love a video on great foods to give your growing baby that helps with their development! Like sardines/herring and fermented foods like kimchi or sauerkraut. All foods my baby loves to eat since we introduced them early!
Great suggestion!
great video
We appreciate your channel so much💞💐
So nice of you
Lovely 👌
The main problem in my surrounding is people tell moms they should give their kids fruit juice instead of water 🤦🏻♀️especially on hot days 🤣
Just stick to your guns. My in laws notoriously act shocked when I say my son doesn't get juice. Like bruh, parenting 30 years ago is no longer relevant. 💁♀️
Lol even I see moms giving soda INSIDE a baby bottle… I only give water and whole milk and also minimal processed sugar:)
It can be hard when people surrounding you give different advice. Just follow your instinct and give your child what you know is best.
I give about 60-70 percent water remainder juice for my 4 and 5 year old becauase they dont want to drink plain water. This way they get water and a flavor of the juice.
@@jessicapadron7886 4and5 yo. My daughter (11months) doesnt drink any juice, any sweets/cakes/chocolate and „how could this be??” 😅 i eat healty, naturally my children will eat healty too. Time to time when they will grow up ok, but in this age… bad mother 😅
Ok, I am not even planning to get pregnant here, but all the infos you give in your videos are so interesting and helpful in so many ways that I just cannot stop watching them! Love your channel 💘
I'm so glad!
great video
In France babies are fed raw milk cheeses and never have any issues.. it's actually real good for your gut flora and is recommended by the guidelines. Funny how every country varies on what they deem safe or not for babies
Raw milk is very different to regular store bought milk. I would say as raw milk is rare or even illegal in some countries. So when they say that it's not recommended it would be referring to processed milk.
@@colleenmills83 unpasteurized cheeses are different than unpasteurized milk
It’s not that they don’t have issues, unpasteurized milk COULD have listeria. But you don’t know until the baby is sick. It’s not very common. Avoiding those foods is just a precaution to avoid a bacteria that can sometimes be found in them
Please just give your baby prebiotic instead much safer
I give my daughter fancy cheeses since 6.5 months old. 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Item 7 has been the hardest for me! Cheese is one of the only things my baby enjoys, but it can be high in sodium. I've found mascarpone, cream cheese, and ricotta were most agreeable in terms of low salt, but he definitely prefers things like cheddar.
I want to be cautious with sodium but I feel sometimes like I'm keeping him back from foods he will really enjoy because they are even on the moderate sodium end. I am excited for him to turn 1 year so we can get a little bit more adventurous.
Do you know if there is a maturation of the GI that happens at 1 year that makes these things safer, like you mentioned with honey? Or is it more of a, "by this point they are getting more water and varied diet so the sodium doesn't impact them as much" type of a milestone?
It’s a kidney issue. Babies do need some salt but not much. Over doing it stresses the kidneys. They say it can lead to bad eating habits but I’m not sure if that’s causation or correlation. Parent who give babies to much salt are as likely to ignore other health advice on food and the later issues could stem from those eating habits rather then the actual salt being introduced. Salt gets fair to much negative attention. If you’re eating home prepared meals you need to add it. The issues when your adding it on top of already high in sodium processed foods.
Thank you what do you think of baby led weaning? I prefer purre
Hi thank you so much this really help me as a first time mom 🥰can you please make a video of color of their poops ..
someone gifted us fruit juice and I tried to give some to my 1 y.o. and she's absolutely not interested in it 😄 she loves fruits though 😊not really into veggies, but I always offer it to her. and she seems to love beetroot 😍
Thanks for sharing!!
Emma can I feed my baby egg custard if yes please tell me the right procedure to do it
Thank u so much for ur guidance as a first time mom I have lots nd lots of doubts which are fading away after watching ur videos. I have a doubt can we start cerelac or rice or ragi cereal to 4month old along with formula cause we are lack of BM...
Can you please do a video on Baby led weaning ? I would love your thought on it
Please come to Montreal 🎉
I did a similar video in my language and now everybody hates me 😅 in my country it’s common to give babies cows milk and raw eggs.
So aorry
Must be good normal country, they know whats good without the food "guru"
Hi, thank you for such useful information.. can you show or tell us some recipies for 7month old babies..rather then just purees & store brought foods.like something inclucing meat or fish or short & quick with lots of health benefits...TIA love
Hi, I find this free booklet really helpful for giving advice regarding the food options you can give you baby at each month. I hope it helps! health.act.gov.au/sites/default/files/2018-09/Milk%20to%20More.pdf
most of the list are also foods we avoided while preganant so that's an easy way to remember. Excapt honey, I don't think I was ever told to avoid that.
Honey is okay in pregnancy because our digestive system can deal with any bacteria that may be in it XX
What about Wheat and Honey Nestum?
Thanks but where baby formulas come from is it not made with cow's milk.?
ALL WAYS CUT UP THE NOODLES VERY WELL BEFORE GIVING THEM TO THE YOUNG CHILDREN. BABY SHELL NOODLES ARE VERY DANGEROUS FOR EVEN SMALL CHILDREN THEY CAN ACT AS A SUCTION CUP IN THEIR THROAT IT COULD BE DEADLY
Recently we were invited over to my husbands family home to introduce our now 6 months old baby girl. And my mother-in-law asked me: "So, she can maybe eat some pudding?" I was shocked. 😵😅
I told her that it's no good idea to introduce sweets at such an early age. 🤨🤓
Thanks for sharing!!
Mother in laws are crazy…. 😂
My mum keeps going on about pureeing a mini roast dinner for our 6.5mnth old .. because that was one of the first combined meals I had, and I loved it. Funny how they some how just want to recreate those past fond memories of their time through you. But also... it's awkward to tell them when they're a little out of touch with new ways or different ways to feeding. My mum also didn't breastfeed, and can't get her head round how hungry my baby has been this whole time 😜 (as in compared to my formula fed past, and not needing a feed for 3hrs by 4 months...stuff like that)
@@GoSammyHo don’t knock out of the ball park mother or mother in laws ideas or advice that generation is much more healthy than this one they know what they are doing
@@maxhernandez955 oh I'm not. But openness to ideas goes both ways (up and and down the generation ladder). I am saying my mum is having difficulty catching up. I feel I am good learner, and taken good lessons from her, but also ...as with much advice that's too readily available out there, take it and apply it with caution and what suits to steer you right.
If anything, it's a steep learning curve for all perspectives. 🙂
I watch this channel for great advices to apply to my baby girl, but sometimes the first thing I think is places where people have nothing or almost nothing...and I imagine places where for example one of the few resources is honey...just imagine, those mothers from a tribe in a remote forest, giving honey to their babies, just to give them some food...we are lucky we can choose between everything, some people arent that lucky...
This is very true!
Where I am from, raw honey is given to babies.
Yep. I knew them all 😁
😂
Pls when u mix honey in the baby food is it good or not
I'm wondering if bub can have soft cheeses (in small amounts) made from pasteurised milk. All cheese made in Australia is made from pasteurised milk including Brie for example
I’m not an expert but I believe the main concerns are the sodium levels and food poisoning from unpasteurized milk so if it’s a low-sodium pasteurized cheese then there shouldn’t be an issue
ask your mother mrs. Chadzynski (or mother in law's) quark, cottage chease (you can add some mashed fruit) a good for older babies but no bri or camembert they sticky and child can chock. Again common sense.
My kid got constipated after I introduced super thinned baby cereal for the first food. So I gave him prune juice to get him to poo but it wasn't something gave him daily or even weekly it was more of a medicinal measure for a one time constipation.
Can you also share dos and don'ts in feeding for toddlers please.
Hi Renu! I have this video on mistakes and tips on how to avoid fussy eating in toddlers which you might find helpful: ua-cam.com/video/pCXF1_f401U/v-deo.html
I find it funny how in France, they recommend starting with cheese at 6 months.
😂
I started with homemade baby food mixed with yogurt. Granted im lactose intolerant so i had to actually go buy yogurt
They also drink wine pregnant and have high incidents of fetal alcohol syndrome 🤷🏽♀️
thoughts on homemade milk kefir?
I wouldn't because it's fermented and made from a live culture that their digestive tract might not yet be able to handle.
I would check with a dietician or your baby's doctor on this one!
@@thecomorbiditycurator8018 I thought yogurt was good for babies? Is kefir different?
@@Discordia5 I've consulted some pros since my last comment because I was just too curious about it. my instinct said it wasn't a good idea and I'm glad I cam trust my instinct on that.
kefir is far more potent than yogurt when it comes to live bacterial cultures/probiotics. neither are supposed to be introduced into baby's diet until 12 months. when yogurt and kefir are eventually introduced, they're supposed to be gradually introduced along with other semi-solid and solid foods. Homemade kefir in particular can be dangerous for newborns because it isn't regulated and therefore could contain potentially pathogenic bacteria that an adult immune system could easily conquer but could make newborns extremely ill. Their little immune systems are still booting up and learning how to protect/defend. Overloading them with an intestinal infection could risk their little lives. On top of that, kefir milk is fermented. I'm told that fermented kefir milk has similar nutritional properties to unmodified cow's milk, the too-early introduction of which has been correlated with the development of iron-deficiency anemia.
Thank you. Ayer le di por primera vez a mi bebe compota de zanahoria.
I gave my baby mashed carrots for the first time today too 🥰
I always wondered how pediatricians felt about baby led weaning. I never did baby food unless my daughter was sick. My first pediatrician had never heard of it. Got a lot of weird looks from my family as well just letting her do everything herself. I love it and don't think I could ever just spoon feed baby food my next baby.
Would love to have a video guide on breast milk pumping, types of pumps, the procedure, ways to store it...
Unfortunately this is a little outside of my scope.
New Little Life by Allison does a lot of videos on youtube about pumping. She even compares types of pumps and gives reviews. Other than that, there are a lot of youtubers talking their pumping schedule, ways to increase supply, and the pumps they use.
I just started solids with my 6 month old.. however no matter the type of purée she eats she tends to sound as if she has phlegm in her throat after eating. Is this normal…what could be causing this…making appointment with dr but wondering if you have any insight on it
My baby does this too.. not sure why.
Please say about safe amount of sugar consumption for 16 month baby
a 16 month baby should not be consuming any foods with added sugar, if your baby likes sweet things, try fruit as a treat
We've given, our 5 month old baby natural orange juice, like, we take the natural juice from the orange and have given sometimes
Natural would be better than orange cordial.
While sodium is processed in the kidneys, and young kids
My 8 months old baby still doesn't open her mouth when I feed her and doesn't imitate me when I open my mouth... I'm worried.
I like the thing about cow milk. Of course nothing is as nutritional as breast milk, but historically goat milk was given to premature babies (cow milk too in some cases) and I know people growth with goat milk and they are perfectly fine. According to her mother this was the only type milk her baby was capable pf digesting.
So, think pediatrics should rethink a lot about that.
Very helpful video, what should I give my baby to drink beside breast milk and water?
So glad you found this video helpful. If they are under 12 months of age the recommendation from WHO and AAP s breast milk or formula should be their main milk source. You can start introducing water during solid mealtimes at 6 months of age to get them familiar with drinking water. Other than that they don't need any other liquid.
@@EmmaHubbard Great very helpful!
In my country, babies begin to use cow milk with full 6 months. It’s rule for decades.
Ok, so the takeaway is don’t give baby what I couldn’t eat while pregnant, honey, and things they can choke on. Got it 🤗
Can fish oil be given to babies
Your baby's doctor or a paediatric dietician would be the best person to answer this question.
Another problem is parents giving kids juice by diluting it with water and supposedly it's healthier and less sugary
When is a good age where we would no longer need to cut their food up in small pieces?
I used to also just cut blueberries in half when my LO was under 12 months. I sometimes also cut really big grapes into quarters rather than half, because the halves were just so big still.
Fruit juice isn't great, but diluting certain juices 1 part juice to 10 parts water can actually help for constipation, which is better than many alternatives. Nowadays, I still prefer to dilute fruit juice at least with equal parts juice and water. It's just too sweet any other way and isn't something that should be the daily staple for staying hydrated even when it's diluted.
It's really important to teach young kids to drink mainly water for thirst. Children that don't get water when young, can grow up to only drink fizzy cold drink, and even sometimes energy drinks, which is an extremely unhealthy way to live.
What I struggle with is when it's cold though. I still give water, but obviously nobody prefers to drink cold water in cold weather unless they really are just very thirsty, so my toddler drinks noticeably less water and I don't know what alternatives are the best to keep hydration up. I've tried warm milk and unsweetened rooibos tea, but the latter wasn't a big hit.
No one in your country heard about camomile tea? Dill tea (super for colic) Cummins tea, mint tea etc? All very light and slightly WARM (another important aspekt) not COLD! (unless you are to lazy) of course its easy to turn the tap and just give water.
@@kasiasobczyk6939 As I've said, I've tried tea. Rooibos tea is really healthy, so no problem with giving it to a little one. Problem is I prefer to NOT always give sweet things and tea isn't a big hit without extra sugar either. The little one is already over the colic stage and never really struggled with that. Obviously any variety of tea isn't going to go down without added sugar. Also, I still drink water when it's cold and I'm thirsty and that's what's healthiest. Nothing wrong with drinking water as well, just don't know what unsweetened hot alternatives there are that could work well. At this stage, warm milk pretty much is the go-to for something warm and water is the go-to for something cold. Anything with sugar added is more of an occasional beverage.
@Rozanne how about warmed up water? You can boil some water and put it in a jug to cool down and when necessary boil a new kettle of water and combine the waters, cold and boiled to create a warm or lukewarm drink.
How about barley coffee. Its obviously no Coffee, Just looks Like it, and made from roasted barley. My kids have it with a little bit of milk, really enjoying it. The most popular one here is the "Caro Kaffee", from Nestlé
@@SK-bw7jg Never heard of that, but sounds like it can be nice 😀. Will definitely look out for it. Thanks.
At what age it is safe to give a kid: smoked salmon or unpasteurized cheese?
How common is this? 🧐 ppl who live in other countries give water and honey from 3 months old. What would you recommend for those who don’t have access to formula etc? Is there a natural alternative
Each country does have different recommendations. In Australia the recommendations are what are in this video. Also in Australia breast milk or formula are the only milk products recommended to babies under 12 months of age.
How to correct baby flat head?
I would like to add that fruit juices like pear, prune, and apple are okay in small amounts for treating and preventing constipation. My boy has a little bit of pear juice (50/50 juice + water) to help him poop.
You could do a puree instead of juice. We find pear puree quite effective. Our Naturopath advised against applesauce until things regulated again as it's actually a binder! I was really surprised to learn that!
I used juice before my boy was old enough/had started purees, that's why I recommended. But yes while fruits are always better than juices if you can.
Thank you but can you provide alternatives to formula other than breast milk? There’s a severe shortage right now and I’m scared of my newborn going hungry. I don’t even produce enough breast milk to give her so I have to supplement with formula.
I had the same problem I was fasting for Ramadan and the thing that helped me was nuts, nut butters and mainly tahini. Tahini brought back my milk supply and I was able to fast no problem. I wish you all the best mumma just know your doing amazing and you are everything your baby needs 🥰Fed is best ❤
Check out Done Naturally channel. She has great tips. Increasing time at the breast is the best thing for milk supply. A pump could not help me like baby could. You could put baby on the breast before each bottle feed until they get frustrated then give them the bottle. Pace bottle feeding is also important to help mimic breast feeding with a slow flow nipple (Lansinoh worked best for us). Most moms are unknowingly over feeding baby. Breast fed babies should not eat more than 2-4 oz their entire breastfeeding career. Brewers yeast also helped (Mommy’s Best is what we used) and Sunflower Lecithin. Hope this helps.
ua-cam.com/video/4j6whtFAaXg/v-deo.html
Pumpkin and brewers yeast also helps bring back supply. Also let your bub latch as much as possible. After a certain age the saliva from a baby has an enzyme that helps activate you into producing more milk
My pediatrician friend tells patients not to give babies under 12 months any type of milk that isn't breast milk or formula. after 12 months, I hear soy milk is a good alternative to supplement alongside formula, age appropriate solid and semi solid foods, and/or breastmilk.
Please check with local kids hospitals or Facebook groups where there are mothers with excess breastmilk usually donate them to those who are in need
So giving baby a celery stick to chew on is not okay? I’ve been told it helps their gums when teething. Of course to cut it “finger length” is this safe ?
I would give celery because it can break off. But if you do choose to then just keep a close eye on your little one.
Hi! Try a stick of cucumber instead, cut in a finger-like shape. It's cold, which will help immensely when teething and has a better consistency to chew on
Foods not to be given to babies until 1 year:
- Honey
- Fruit juice
- Cow's milk
- Under cooked eggs
- Raw or smoked fish
- Fish high in mercury
- Food with external salt
- Cheese from unpaustarised milk
- Food prone to choking
Cheese is super high in salt so I am a little confused as to how this doesn’t conflict with the salt avoidance recommendation :)
try goat cheesy,low in sodium
Is pepper safe for babies
I learnt in a baby cpr class, cutting food in sticks in a good way to avoid choking.
A couple of months ago out of sheer interest I happened to Google something like 'International weaning practices', one of the results that appeared was a blog written about 5-10 years ago. The blogger had asked some of her readers (all -mostly new- mothers) to write her a brief statement on what advise/ practices are commonly given to parents when they start weaning their baby, I can't remember if she was from Russia or an Eastern European country but one of the respondants said that in her country it was quite common to give babies fruit juice from about 3 or 4 months old. Now if I remember correctly she did say the fruit juice was made fresh by the parents. Most national pediatric and dental associations advise not giving any children under 5 (including babies) prepared (shop bought) fruit juice because of the extra sugar within them but fresh fruit juice as long is it's supplemented with either milk or solid food ought to be fine... shouldn't it?
I knew of all of these. I think the rules that I have heard are even more strict. Cheese contains a lot of salt, so wait with that.
And I will not give my baby liver products, because of the high amount of vitamin A.
Age
Whenever I'm eating some sweets cakes or chocolates or drinking juice my 9 months old baby crawls towards me and hardly cry to eat it, many times i gave him coz i didn't know what to do, i even gave him honey and noodle many times, he shares with me whatever im eating! Coz it's somehow difficult to me to eat while he's looking at me😥☹
I'd like to clarify about avoiding fruit juices. Does that include freshly sqeezed juice?
Smoothie is better because the fiber isn't removed
Whole fruits will always ne preferable because the fibers are intact. Prefer plain water and fruits.
Whole fruit is the preferred option when giving it to your baby over freshly squeezed juice.
My 7 month old likes to drink fruit puree mixed with a water through a straw. I gave it to her when teaching her to drink from a straw, but it turned out to be a favorite treat, and good way to get her to consume more liquids and fresh fruit. I'm going to try adding kefir or yogurt.
@@EmmaHubbard You talkin rubbish fruit always good but we talking about juice when the child needs drink (yes they do needs a drink as well!!) And you cant go wrong with freshly squeezed juice. You can add a bit of water (not from the tap) Did you heard about carrot juice??? One of the "first"juice of course its very small quantity (any new food you serve carefully and only a bit - common sense!
There are eggs that have been tested for salmonella the have a little red lion on them
Thanks for sharing this information. Unfortunately these eggs are only available in some countries.
except prune juice when directed by your doctor for constipation, works like a charm!
Constipation can be a real issue for babies, especially when starting solids. So if prune juice is recommended by your child doctor then definitely try it.
My Naturopath recommends pears for constipation, so I've given my baby pureed pears to get things moving again. Worked like a charm! Applesauce will do the opposite, so avoid that one until things have regulated again.
@@EmmaHubbard Amazing for baby From 0-365 ua-cam.com/video/fv75drrAp5g/v-deo.html
Honey no way
this is not true .most of the food mentioned are healthy for baby
Deli meats
So we should stop with the orange juice, ok he turned 6 months now
Generally orange juice is not recommended at this age. Maybe check in with your little one's doctor to see if orange juice is needed.
Is there a TLDR of this video??
Its 6 minutes......
