Give preference to fruits
Fruits should always be present in the baby’s food. And for breakfast they are a great option.
Children who are more selective and who do not accept fruit should be given even greater attention. If you accept that she doesn’t eat and don’t offer it often, she won’t eat again. Therefore, varying the fruit, the cut and the preparation of the dish can help to arouse the curiosity to try it.
Some examples of great fruits for 1 year olds : banana, orange, papaya, melon, pear, kiwi, strawberry, watermelon, etc. That is, all fruits are released.

Spice it up with chia and some other fruit like mango, banana or strawberry . And remember that even though it is a sour food, it can be very well accepted by the baby, as he is still developing his taste buds.
