Many parents think that feeding a baby a healthy diet means buying imported cereal, expensive snacks, and fancy baby meals. Not true. Cause I grew up in the village, guess what! We still survived healthy without those expensive meals. I am not saying that it is not good, but if it is draining your pocket, you can go for these options.
In Nigeria, you can still feed your baby nutritious meals without draining your account.
Affordable healthy options include:
* Pap with milk or groundnut powder
* Mashed Sweet Potato or Yam
* Mashed Beans with a little palm oil
* Soft-boiled egg
* Blended fruits like Banana, pawpaw, and Avocado
* Vegetable puree with pumpkin leaves or carrots.
The real trick is not spending more, but buying local and cooking fresh. Sometimes the best meals are already in your Nigerian kitchen.
