1. Calcium rich food:
My teeth began to develop as early as the sixth week of pregnancy and calcium is also needed for my bone development. Milk, cheddar cheese and yoghurt are the best sources of calcium. Some examples of calcium rich foods are milk on cereal, a glass of milk, a cheese sandwich, all types of yoghurt, a smoothie, a milkshake, pizza and lasagne.
2. Iron rich foods:
Iron is needed for the growth of my brain. The best dietary source is lean red meat and mummy should aim to eat it 3-4 times a week. Fortified breakfast cereals, beans, eggs, apricots, prunes, figs, spinach and broccoli also contain iron but mummy also need a good supply of vitamin C to make use of the iron.
3. Vitamin C Rich Foods:
Vitamin C rich foods include oranges, tangerines, clementines, satsumas, grapefruits, lemons, limes, kiwi, blackcurrants, green peppers, strawberries, tomatoes and mangoes . Any drink made from these fruits is also high is vitamin C. Potatoes are also a reasonably good source.
4. Oily Fish:
Mackerel, herring, salmon, sardines and kippers contain an oil which is essential for the development of my brain and eyes. Aim to eat oily fish 2-3 times a week.
