Cherry tomato bites for babies
Today I'm sharing a brand new recipe that I created for babies: Cherry Tomato Bites for Babies. It's super simple with only a few ingredients. These cherry tomato bites can be served at any time of the day and can even be frozen and reheated to eat on the go. The texture is absolutely perfect for Baby Led Weaning (BLW).

Lots of parents ask me why I use so many eggs in the recipes I create for babies. Here's one reason: according to new research, feeding eggs to infants could provide them with key nutrients for better brains. Eggs contain healthy fats, a whole source or protein, as well as heme iron. In this recipe they’re paired with cherry tomatoes, which provide a source of vitamin C to enhance iron absorption. Win-win!
So, how do you prep these delicious cherry tomato bites for babies?
