These recipes are delicious and nourishing but may need tweaks for your child's dietary needs. For nut-free options, use sunflower, pumpkin, or flaxseeds, and try seed butters. For gluten-free meals, opt for certified gluten-free grains like oats. If dairy is an issue, substitute with lactose-free or plant-based milk. Swap eggs for mashed banana, applesauce, tofu, or flax eggs as needed. And don’t forget—no honey for infants under one; use agave or maple syrup instead! Each recipe can be adjusted to fit your family’s needs.
