Blueberries for Babies!
Blueberries are a superfood packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber. They support a baby’s immune system, brain development, and healthy digestion. Their natural sweetness and bold flavor make them a fun and healthy addition to your baby’s diet.
👉 Fun Fact: Blueberries are known as "brain berries" because they help boost memory and cognitive development in growing minds!
Word to the wise: blueberries are high in fiber. That means when babies eat large quantities of blueberries, there’s a poop blow-out coming your way!
