FOOD 1 — EGG YOLK FROM PASTURED EGGS. The single most brain-building first food available. Rich in choline, the nutrient responsible for memory formation and neural pathway development. Contains DHA, cholesterol, and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. One egg yolk contains more brain-building nutrients than an entire box of rice cereal.
FOOD 2 — BONE BROTH. Contains collagen, glycine, and minerals in a form your baby's gut can actually absorb. Supports the gut lining where 70% of the immune system lives. Start with small sips from a spoon at 6 months.
FOOD 3 — AVOCADO. High in monounsaturated fat that supports myelination, the process of insulating your baby's neural pathways so signals travel faster. Also contains potassium and folate. Soft texture makes it perfect for early feeding.
FOOD 4 — LIVER. The most nutrient-dense food on earth. Contains heme iron, the form of iron your baby's body can actually use. Iron deficiency is the number one nutrient deficiency in infants and directly affects cognitive development. Even 1-2 teaspoons provides enormous nutritional value.
FOOD 5 — WILD-CAUGHT SALMON. Highest natural source of DHA omega-3. DHA makes up 40% of the fatty acids in the brain. No supplement matches what whole food provides.
Rice cereal is filler. It fills the belly without feeding the brain. The iron in it is non-heme iron, poorly absorbed. The calories are empty. And it's the most common first food recommended in North America.
Feed the brain. Not the cereal box.
