Raisins are a nutritious snack that you will want to include in your babies diet once she is old enough to handle them. They are a good source of iron, containing by weight as much iron as ground beef. Raisins are also an excellent source of potassium, B vitamins, are a concentrated source of calories and provide both soluble and insoluble fiber. Because raisins are a nutritious food that kids love, one way you can add them safely to your older baby or toddler's diet is to plump them by letting them sit briefly in a hot liquid to soften, and then cutting them up.
Do not give whole raisins if your baby cannot handle it because it could pose as choking hazards. I cut the raisins into smaller pieces to ensure that my boy can chew and prevent him from choking. I bought the organic raisins from NTUC. You can either get the black or yellow raisins. I will introduce raisins during his snack time. His lunch will be food that I have introduce beforehand.
