Nutritious choices matter most in the morning. Try iron-fortified cereal mixed with whole milk or formula. Give it some texture\u2014soft, never chunky. Oatmeal works too.

Protein is your anchor. Finely minced chicken, flaky fish with bones removed, or beans. Add cooked, bite-sized vegetables\u2014peas, diced sweet potato, green beans.
