Ensuring that babies have a healthy and balanced diet is essential for their growth and development. During the weaning period, it is particularly important to help babies adapt their digestive systems while introducing them to a variety of foods. Homemade, natural, and nutritious meals play a crucial role in supporting a baby's healthy development.
One simple and tasty option is mashed potatoes. Potatoes are easy to digest, rich in vitamins and minerals, and provide carbohydrates that meet babies’ energy needs. In this recipe, we use Olizzi Baby Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which is packed with healthy fatty acids and antioxidants essential for babies. Olive oil not only strengthens the immune system and supports digestion but also provides the healthy fats necessary for growth.
