How to choose the right baby food?

For parents of the first year of life, the question of introducing complementary foods is urgent, because there are a wide variety of products in stores that can be given from a six-month period. Of course, parents have the opportunity to feed the child with various vegetables and fruits that have grown in the garden, but, as a rule, such food is seasonal, but preparing children from frozen foods is not always a great idea. It is in this case that baby food will be an excellent assistant to her mother.

Now the market for baby food is very diverse, in shops you can meet porridges, water, teas, juices, cookies, vegetable puree, meat and dairy products. To sour-milk products now it is possible to carry a cottage cheese and yoghurt which can be given from 8 months. A great interest in moms is precisely the meat puree, which can be given to a child from 6 months. For their production, turkey meat, veal and chicken are used.

When choosing a baby food, the following rules must be observed.

1. Where to buy. It is best to buy products in specialized stores or a supermarket. All due to the fact that store sellers provide all the necessary storage conditions.
2. Shelf life. Before buying, pay attention to the date of manufacture and expiration date. It is necessary to know, the longer a product is stored, the less useful substances remain in it.
3. It should take into account the age of the baby. Since not all products can be given to a child from six months. All this information is indicated on the label.
4. Pay attention to the composition. All due to the fact that many children are allergic to some components that do not always need to be used.
5. In no case should you buy food, where there are preservatives, which are marked with the symbol "E" and if the package has defects.

It should be remembered that food in large jars is more economical. However, such jars are best used when there are several children in the house. You also need to know that open products should only be stored in the refrigerator for one day. Therefore, it is more profitable to buy a small package, which you can eat during the day.

Ready-made baby food is produced by many well-known brands, of which it is possible to single out Fruto Nyanya, Tema, Agusha, Gardens Pridonja, HUMANA, NESTLE. The choice of the best producer lies solely on the parents and preferences of the child. Quite often, children themselves refuse to eat a single producer and with great pleasure they eat mashed potatoes of others. That's why you need to take into account the taste preferences of the baby and buy not only healthy food, but also rich in vitamins and minerals, which contribute to good digestion.
