Lentils are a fantastic, nutrient-dense food for babies whether you are a family or meat-eaters, vegetarians or vegans – and they are also very affordable.
Lentils are a good plant source of iron, which is essential in your baby's diet from 6 months. Vegetarian sources of iron need to be paired with vitamin C to help the iron be properly absorbed, and this is where the sweet potato and other veg come in – as well as adding some lovely extra flavour.
