As Healthy Morsels said

It is a sweet challenge and a huge responsibility for every mother to feed the baby healthy, for it is the first three years of life that are very important in the development of a child. Nourishing the baby with the essential nutrients, slowly planning the introduction of every type of food, checking against possible allergies are all very critical. Two - Three year old babies would love to have this healthy date pudding and it is iron rich food.
