Beautiful Bouncing Babies begin with vitamin B.
B group vitamins are vital to your baby's health. Did you know, for example, that the B group of vitamins help the body utilise the energy in carbohydrates, fat and protein? Or that they maintain the nervous and digestive systems? They're also essential for growth & development. They continue to be important as your baby grows. When babies become toddlers, they use B vitamins ever faster. The perfect time to introduce Vegemite is when your baby is enjoying a variety of solid foods. Apart from providing vital nutrition, its flavour can help babies accept new foods. Try adding a little Vegemite to mashed vegetables and pureed meat dishes. Then, as they grow, spread it on their rusks, sandwiches and toast. One serving of Vegemite (5g) has about the same amount of salt as a cup of milk or a slice of bread. So you needn't worry about the salt content of Vegemite provided you consider your baby's entire intake. So start your baby off with Vegemite. 5g Vegemite provides at least the following % of a child's daily requirement | Vegemite B Group Vitamins | Per 5g Serve | % RDI* 7-12 months | % RDI* 1-3 years | % RDI* Breast Feeding Mums | | Thiamin | 0.55mg | 100% | 100% | 46%
