Baby porridge is a food that every baby needs. In order for the baby to grow up strong and healthy, it is necessary to feed him only with high-quality products, therefore, the choice of industrial baby cereal must be approached with a certain amount of responsibility.
Baby porridge for feeding babies
Already from the 6th month of a child's life, pediatricians recommend that parents introduce the first complementary foods. One of the very first foods that a baby at this age can try is baby porridge. Experts say that for such crumbs it is better to buy industrial-made porridge, and not cook it yourself.
Dry baby cereals of industrial production are almost ready for use. Parents can only fill the powder with water, let the porridge brew for 5-10 minutes, and then cool it down and feed the baby. To begin with, you can dilute the contents of the package with a large amount of water and pour the porridge into a bottle with a nipple, and a little later you can start feeding the baby with a spoon.
Commercial porridges for baby food are well crushed and enriched with minerals, vitamins and other valuable components. That is why such products are much more expensive than regular cereals.
High-quality cereals should not contain sugar and other harmful components.
How to choose baby porridge
The choice of baby porridge should be taken very responsibly. Many parents prefer to buy imported products. Nestle porridges are very popular. The products manufactured by this company are of very high quality. Unfortunately, they, like other imported cereals, are quite expensive. Not every family can afford to constantly purchase such products for a child.
Pediatricians assure that dry cereals of domestic production are in many ways in no way inferior to imported ones. Meanwhile, they are much cheaper. The products of the firms "Malyutka", "Bebi", "Clever" are considered to be quite good. Belarusian porridges "Bellakt" are of very high quality.
When buying porridge for the first time, it is better to opt for a product of the same brand as the formula to reduce the risk of allergies.
When buying, you should pay attention to the composition of the product. A good porridge should be enriched with vitamins, minerals, amino acids. Information on this can be found on the packaging. When choosing porridge, you should also focus on the child's reaction. The main thing is that the product does not cause allergies in him. In case of any manifestations of allergic reactions, you must immediately stop using porridge and purchase products from another company in the store.
