SUGGESTIONS

• When using cow’s milk, to improve iron absorption we recommend adding 2 tablespoons of Vitamin C rich fruit juice.
• Because the dairy-free recipes provide nearly no fats, we recommend adding 1-2 teaspoons of edible oils, such as canola, sunflower, hemp, or olive oil, or Holle’s own proprietary blend called “Bio Baby-Beikost-Öl.”
