Feeding Your Baby Right: A Florida Parent's Guide to Healthy Nutrition

Listen, when my first baby was born here in Miami, I thought I had to be some kind of nutrition scientist. By baby number two, I'd figured out what actually matters. First six months: breast milk or formula only. Around 6 months, start with mashed avocado (perfect Florida food!), sweet potato, or banana. Focus on iron, healthy fats, and variety. My daughter ate Cuban black beans at 7 months – now she's an adventurous eater. The Florida factor? Hydration is crucial in this heat. Bottom line: healthy baby nutrition isn't about perfection – it's about variety, safety, and not stressing about every bite. Welcome to parenthood, Florida style! 🌴🥑
