🌱 Why is it nourishing?
With its velvety texture and natural sweetness, sweet potato can make first spoonfuls easier; its beta-carotene (a vitamin A precursor) and fibre make it a gentle part of balanced nutrition. Its soft consistency suits single-ingredient starts from 6 months.
Maiyko's note
At Maiyko we believe in starting solids with simple, single-ingredient steps. Offer sweet potato with only its own natural taste, without any added sweeteners or seasonings; every baby gets used to a new taste at their own pace.
