Test purchase of baby food Video

Parents try to choose the best for their child, especially the first complementary foods. Mothers of babies consult with grandmothers and friends, read messages on family forums, study the compositions on baby food labels. Each family independently decides whether to buy mashed potatoes for the child in the store or cook at home. However, we must not forget that vegetables and fruits grown in an environmentally unfavorable area will not benefit the child.

Store products must go through several levels of quality control before they hit the shelves. There are other important points that every parent should think about:

Price. The expensive stuff is not always better than the cheap one. Usually mothers and fathers do not spare money for the child and try to purchase the most expensive food, hoping for the best quality. It is important to understand that the cost of puree is made up of several factors: the type of packaging, the originality of the design, as well as the costs of advertising, sales and transportation. Therefore, the price should be the last thing to pay attention to. The first thing parents should be interested in is the composition and date of manufacture. Also, do not forget about the taste preferences of the crumbs.
Main cast. It is important to decide on the choice of composition for complementary foods. The first vegetables should be broccoli, cauliflower and zucchini. However, in babies suffering from colic, they can cause increased gas production, and thereby aggravate the situation. Pumpkin and carrot purees have a high risk of developing allergies.
Additional ingredients. Quality products do not contain preservatives, dyes or flavor enhancers. It is better if the complementary foods do not contain sugar and salt. Spices in puree are not allowed. Do not buy a product that contains soy.
Baby's age. It is not advised to introduce the first complementary foods early. A fruit treat is given immediately after a vegetable one. Meat purees are recommended to be introduced from 6 months. Products from berries and fish can cause an allergic reaction. So you have to be careful with her. Multi-component puree is introduced after 1 year.
Quality. Puree should be safe and hypoallergenic. It is desirable that the package has an inscription: "Recommended by the State Research Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences." It is necessary to pay attention to the degree of grinding of the ingredients.
Tightness. When opening the can, a characteristic pop should be heard. This indicates the freshness of the product. It is permissible to purchase products in pouches with a screw cap, cardboard packaging. However, banks are considered more environmentally friendly. When buying the first complementary foods, you need to carefully inspect the packaging. It must not be deformed.

Of course, it is also important to pay attention to the brand name. We tried to study all modern manufacturers of baby food and made a rating of the best domestic and foreign companies selling mashed potatoes for the first feeding. Experienced pediatricians and real feedback from parents helped us in compiling the rating.

Which company's baby food is the best?

Among the presented domestic and foreign manufacturers, it is difficult to make an unambiguous choice and decide which brand is better to buy baby food. Each parent focuses on the needs of their child, takes into account their ability to pay and decides what will be useful for the baby and what is not. Toddlers are very picky eaters and therefore parents will have to try many children's products in order to choose exactly what the child will eat with pleasure. And our rating of the best baby food companies will help you not to get lost among the numerous products and make a choice in favor of a trusted manufacturer that is loved by a huge number of consumers in our country.

What to feed your child? Of course, the most delicious and healthy. The work of our body depends entirely on what we feed it. Therefore, it is so important to choose the highest quality products that will give the body useful substances and energy. , to supplement it already or too early, when to introduce meat and in what form - all these questions concern every mother. This article will help to facilitate the choice of food for your baby and highlight the most important questions.

Many of us grew up on jar and sachet supplements. This does not mean that they are worse than freshly prepared ones - the quality control of baby food is very strict. However, our mothers and grandmothers often prepared mashed potatoes themselves using a strainer or gauze. Why is baby food in jars good? This is ease of use, and speed, and a guarantee of freshness. Before proceeding to rating of baby food in jars, learn how to properly give puree and the secrets of its use by babies.

Age. Whatever the puree is based on - zucchini or beef, remember that the most important thing is to choose a product in accordance with the age of the baby. It is not recommended to introduce supplementary feeding (to which mashed potatoes belong) earlier than 6 months. However, your pediatrician may recommend that you supplement sooner. Remember that everything is individual.

Quantity. Start introducing new foods gradually. Let it be zucchini or broccoli first. The first serving is only 1/3 teaspoon. Next, you should carefully observe the reaction of the crumbs. If there are rashes, redness on the cheeks or diarrhea - stop the product and report the symptoms to the pediatrician. If everything is good, increase the portion by 2 times. You gave, for example, zucchini puree for a week and the baby tolerated it perfectly? You can try a new product. It doesn't matter if you give it separately or mix it with the previous one. So, gradually, you will introduce all complementary foods.

Consistency. Rating of baby purees below will show you what moms prefer to buy and why. But before choosing, make sure that the consistency suits your baby. For example, coarsely ground puree should be given at an older age, while homogenized puree is suitable for "beginners". Remember that mashed potatoes that are coarsely chopped can additionally add meat broth and some spices (mainly herbs).

Compound. What is the perfect puree? A composition in which only water and a vegetable (for example, carrots) may seem boring to you, but such a product is very suitable for the first complementary foods. It does not contain stabilizers and preservatives, which means that this complementary food is as natural and healthy as possible.

How to give. Remember one important rule: everything that you give your child to eat, try it yourself first. This will save the baby from many problems. Also check the expiration date before buying.

Remember that it does not contain additional ingredients, has a natural color, a slight smell and a delicate, slightly pronounced taste. It always contains the date of manufacture, manufacturer, composition and shelf life.

Vegetables, berries, fruits - what are mashed potatoes for children

Now let's see what they are made of puree For children's nutrition. The lower the puree is on the list, the older it is suitable.

From vegetables. This is the best option for the first complementary foods. You can give it in addition to breast milk and not be afraid for allergies. Usually vegetable purees cause it in very rare cases. First, let the baby try mashed green vegetables (zucchini) and slightly colored foods. Leave potatoes for later, as well as cabbage, which can cause gas.

From fruits. Such baby purees kids like it very much. Enter them when the baby has tried all the vegetable purees and he does not have a negative reaction to them. At first, buy a mono-product, which consists only of plum, apple, pear or apricot. Further, you can enter multi-component fruit mixtures and overseas fruit puree, for example, banana.

From berries. Remember that almost all berries cause allergies. Currants can be considered less allergenic. Try to give it to your baby, but not before 7 months. If there are no negative reactions of the body, let's try gooseberry puree and only after all the berries is introduced raspberry or strawberry puree.

From meat. When should you switch to meat mixtures? Only in the case when vegetable, fruit and berry purees are introduced. Sometimes on sale you can find baby puree from one beef and veal. They are best for getting to know the meat.

Later, two-component ones should be introduced - veal with poultry, beef with vegetables, and so on. Study the composition before buying - if the puree contains several components, make sure that they have already been introduced into complementary foods before and the baby did not have an allergic reaction to them. Typically, such multi-component products are administered no earlier than 9 months.

From fish. Mashed pollock, hake, cod and other varieties of fish are best introduced at the very end. Remember, fish is given to children with allergies strictly on the recommendation of a doctor.
