Using Lemon to Build a Babies Palate

Lemon isn’t just a flavor enhancer—it’s a tool for helping babies explore new taste profiles early on.

A tiny squeeze can:

  • Highlight the sweetness of carrots or sweet potatoes.

  • Add brightness to greens like spinach or kale.

  • Complement proteins like chicken or fish.

Tips for Introducing Lemon Safely

  • Start with just a few drops of lemon juice added to purees or steamed veggies.

  • Avoid direct exposure to large amounts of lemon to protect sensitive tummies.

  • Use fresh, organic lemons whenever possible to ensure the purest flavor.
