Healthy, because
When the baby is 6 months old, the iron reserves in the small body are gradually depleted. Therefore, oatmeal is a good choice now. And the vitamin C from the apple helps to better utilize this important nutrient.
Even smarter
Prepare some apple sauce for yourself as well. Simply take more fruit and after cooking, branch off the mash portion. Crush the remaining apples and sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
