Amylase is an enzyme produced in our saliva that helps to digest starch. Baby’s don’t produce enough amylase until their first molars come in. We avoid starch as baby’s first food for this reason. Molars can come in earlier or later based on the child, so when to introduce starch will be individual. I am not sharing this information to fear anyone but simply educate on a topic that’s not often talked about. Some first foods we focus on are bone broth, pasture/organic meats, egg yolks, raw dairy, fresh fruit, and some seafood. When we are learning new information, we could also be quite triggered. It’s normal to feel guilty for not knowing something. But know this, no one knows everything and the smartest person in the room is always going to be the person who can admit that they don’t know and that’s because this person is willing to improve. Mom guilt is such a real and intense feeling, this feeling can be all consuming. So if anything I share, or I will share in the future is triggering to you and brings up feelings of guilt, just know its ok to feel that way. I don’t know everything either. We are all a work in progress. What makes you a better mom and a better person is admitting to your faults and growing from there. Let’s normalize taking responsibility for ourselves and moving onwards and upwards in a positive way. Give yourself the kind of grace that you would give your children. Never stop striving to learn more and be better and do better. If you’re in my community or if you’re just finding my page for the first time, this space is for learning and growing and helping each other. This is a supportive space. I’m here to uplift women, to help women. So with a tender heart I want you to know that it’s OK if you didn’t know! #babysfirstfoods #digestion #prometabolic
