How your baby's gut and immune system develop together
0-4 months
Bacteria from milk train your baby's immune system to recognize helpful bacteria.
Your baby's gut starts growing healthy bacteria from milk to support digestion.
Choose formulas with gut friendly nutrients & multiple HMO strains. Avoid too much iron which can disrupt early microbiome.
4-8 months
New foods introduce new bacteria, helping your baby's immune system distinguish good bacteria from harmful ones.
As your baby eats solids, their gut bacteria become more diverse, helping digestion adapt and improve nutrient absorption.
Gently introduce allergens at right time based on your baby's risk profile, alongside gut-supportive foods.
8-12 months
A diverse diet helps your baby's immune system mature and build stronger defenses.
A richer diet further diversifies bacteria, helping your baby learn to digest a variety of textures and flavors comfortably.
Introduce textured, fiber-rich foods and safe fermented foods. Avoid unpasteurized foods due to harmful bacteria.
How your baby builds strong bones and muscles in the first year
0-4 months
Your baby's bones are stretching and quickly absorbing nutrients like calcium, laying a strong foundation for growth.
Tiny movements (like grabbing your finger) are helping early muscles wake up and get ready for bigger movements.
Breastfeeding? Eat calcium-rich foods and supplement vitamin D. Formula-feeding? Pick formulas without palm olein for better calcium absorption.
4-8 months
Your baby is entering a growth spurt and its bones are hardening to handle more movements like sitting up and crawling.
All that wiggling and rolling helps build strong, healthy muscles.
Pair iron-rich foods (meats, cereals) with vitamin C-rich fruits to boost absorption. Include proteins like eggs to support muscles for crawling.
8-12 months
Bones become stronger and denser, supporting standing and early steps.
Legs and core muscles work hard to improve balance and coordination.
Offer healthy fats (avocado, fish) and proteins (beans, eggs, meats) to build strong muscles and coordination for early walking.
