Benefit To Baby: Healthy Growth 

Protein is needed to build and repair cells, and is essential to a baby’s development and growth. 

Red meat and dairy are rich in protein, but they’re also high in saturated fats. Balance your diet with fish protein (in all fish products), which also contains essential fatty acids. 

And don’t forget vegetable protein, which includes brown rice, quinoa, chickpeas, lentils, baked beans, pumpkin seeds and cashew nuts. 

A great alternative protein source, tofu is low in fat and will help balance those blood sugar levels. Add to juice from pomegranate and mixed berries for a sweet drink that also packs a powerful antioxidant punch.
