🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Summer zucchini is a light, easily digestible vegetable; its high water content can help keep your baby cool on hot days. Its soft texture and neutral flavour offer a gentle transition to solids from 6 months. Nutrients such as vitamin C and potassium may support overall development.
Maiyko's note
At Maiyko, we value simplicity and naturalness on your baby's plate; when possible, choose fresh, tender zucchini in season. Choosing GOTS-certified organic cotton for the feeding bibs that touch sensitive skin is part of the same care.
