When feeding your baby, you should be aware of the peculiarities baby food: what composition is most useful, and what should not be in the diet. We will help you figure it out.

In fact, food for a baby consists of vitamins, macro- and microelements, fats, proteins, carbohydrates necessary for growth and health. Therefore no children's menu can't do without them. But some substances are harmful to the child. For example:

It is better to limit the consumption of cereals containing too many carbohydrates to children who are prone to obesity.

Along with the type of cereal, you need to be guided by other features of choosing baby food. A consultation with a pediatrician is required here. After studying your baby’s health condition, he will be able to give recommendations on which composition will be the most useful and safe.

Getting to know them always begins with studying the packaging. Knowing from your pediatrician’s recommendations what is healthy and safe for your baby and what should be avoided, you will make the right choice.

The first thing you need to pay attention to is gluten, or gluten, a plant protein that many grains contain.

If your doctor has not prescribed it, porridge with gluten can be included in your diet. But very moderately, since a tiny organism still does not break down such protein well.

Heinz

Baby food manufacturer Heinz offers a wide range of milk and dairy-free formulas. And for the first feeding she recommends dairy-free formulas to reduce the risk of developing allergies.

Heinz nutrition developers have focused their product on different life stages of intensive growth child's body. For the little ones - for the next one age group- milk porridge.

Moreover, the range expands as the baby grows older. Cereals intended for children over six months old contain a higher milk content; palm oil and pieces of fruit or vegetables are also added to the product. To feed one-year-old children, Heinz offers an even wider range of baby cereals, no longer with such a uniform consistency that the child learns to chew food.

The manufacturer Heinz (Heinz) states that, along with the main ingredients (cereals, milk, vegetables and fruits), their products include vitamins of all groups, minerals, as well as special probiotics (lacto- and bifidobacteria) and prebiotics (lactulose and oligosaccharides), which support healthy microflora digestive tract and intestines, strengthen the immune system.

Nestle

On Russian market There is a lot of baby food from Nestle. The range of this brand is distinguished by a wide variety of tastes and is designed for complementary feeding of children, from diapers to 3 years of age.

In advertising campaigns carried out in various media, you can hear that Nestlé’s food for babies is “mother’s milk”. But do not forget that nothing can replace the composition of mother’s milk and artificial feeding should be used only when absolutely necessary.

Nestlé products are known to Russian buyers not only for their line of baby food, but also for many treats for adults.

Baby

The products of the baby food company Baby (Baby) also deserve attention. It includes milk and dairy-free porridges, dishes for children's afternoon snacks, various hypoallergenic mixtures, children's teas and children's water.

Domestic manufacturers

Often, when purchasing food for their child, parents are guided by price. More expensive means better. It is worth noting here that Baby, Malyutka or Umnitsa baby cereals do not belong to a high price category, but their composition in some cases may be much more suitable than that of Nestle, Heinz or other brands.

Cooked Homes

If you decide to prepare baby porridge at home, you will need buckwheat, oatmeal or rice flour.

The cereal can be ground in a stationary blender or coffee grinder. Fill it up cold water, stir and add boiling milk, then bring to a boil, reduce heat to very low and cook for no more than 5 minutes, stirring constantly. For babies under 5 months, food is made of a thinner consistency (this is about one teaspoon of flour per half a glass of water).

Older kids will like a thicker porridge (2 tsp flour per half a glass of water). Salt and sugar should be added during cooking, but only a little. At the end you can add a teaspoon butter. But you can do without it if the child enjoys eating porridge without butter.

For those who do not have the opportunity to grind cereals into flour, it is suitable next method: Boil rice, oats or buckwheat in water, then add milk with constant stirring and keep on fire for a while. Mash the finished porridge thoroughly and rub through a sieve.

A few words about cereals

Each cereal has its own unique properties, therefore, you need to constantly alternate its different types in the diet.

Oatmeal and buckwheat contain quite a lot of fiber, which has a laxative effect on the baby’s body. Read also.
Rice, on the contrary, has strengthening properties.
Corn is neutral, that is, it does not have a significant effect on the baby’s stool.

Somehow we didn’t really make friends with buckwheat from the very beginning of complementary feeding. Which manufacturer of buckwheat porridge I didn’t buy is all off topic. lumps, paste consistency. But buckwheat is very healthy and should be eaten so that children do not have anemia. Let me think I’ll buy Heinz porridge, maybe it’s better.

We started complementary feeding with dairy-free porridge Heinz and buckwheat are our favorite. That’s why we first bought buckwheat for dairy products. Our supermarket always has fresh baby food and reasonable prices.

I bought this porridge for the first feeding, since my son did not eat porridge of his own making. There was no choice in the store, I took what I had, relying on the fact that the Heinz company is highly praised.

And I don’t have any lumps in my Heinz porridge—you have to know how to mix it properly.

Hello, mommies! I myself am also a young mother. Heinz porridges helped me a lot at one time, I especially love Buckwheat with milk and Corn! I started giving them at 6 months, before that I was giving cereals from other brands, but the child was reluctant to eat, and problems with the toilet began, constipation, etc., but...

Don't give this porridge too early. But eight months is fine.

Although it says on the box that Heinz buckwheat porridge with milk is recommended after four months, we started eating it after eight months. Why is this so? Here is the composition of the porridge: In my opinion, a child does not need either sugar or dry cream at the very beginning of complementary feeding.

My child loves porridge very much. We tried a lot, but she has a special love for buckwheat. We ate Heinz dairy-free buckwheat porridge, and I decided to buy buckwheat with milk from the same company. We tried Heinz milk buckwheat porridge and were pleased.

Everyone good mood, and the kids have an excellent appetite! I have already written more than once that we constantly buy porridge from the proven, reliable brand Heinz. This product combines great taste, which the baby likes, and the benefits that are important to me.

This is not porridge, but a paste, and the color is gray, it’s not even pleasant to give it to a child. It doesn't even smell like buckwheat. It doesn’t look like milk porridge at all, I even thought I took the dairy-free one by accident, but no, that’s right! We usually eat Bebi porridge, it smells nice and tastes good on the package.

I bought this porridge by accident, because... suddenly the house ran out of Semper welling, and there was nothing else in the store. I was preparing for the fact that I would have to pour the porridge into the sink, because... The child eats nothing but wellings.

Since my daughter has low hemoglobin, the pediatrician recommended that we introduce buckwheat as our first complementary food starting at four months. I bought this porridge. The packaging is very convenient, you can close and open it many times.

Hi all! I didn’t even know that you can also write about food here! I decided to write a review about Heinz porridge. My child is a toddler! Therefore, the first complementary food that the pediatrician recommended to us was porridge.

Honestly I'll say it's worse We didn't try buckwheat. And in general, I doubt whether it is buckwheat. I bought this porridge because the composition is decent, and this turned out to be the only advantage of this product. Otherwise, there are only disadvantages: 1- the porridge cannot be diluted without lumps, I tried it different temperatures poured water...

Heinz buckwheat porridge with milk was the first after trying to feed the child with homemade porridge. We were 6 months old, and then I decided - I’ll try to start with buckwheat as the first complementary food, although I took milk, since I couldn’t find dairy-free porridge in the assortment of our supermarket.

I became familiar with this brand of cereal a long time ago. Even with my first child. But somehow it was not in our everyday life. My second child and I came across this porridge on store shelves and decided to try it, since we eat Haines vegetable puree.

We tried this porridge only after a year. We can’t eat buckwheat and milk because of allergies. I’ve given dairy-free buckwheat before (everything was fine), but I haven’t given milk-based porridge. I needed to buy porridge, but there were no others (I only buy Heinz products). I took it at my own risk. And for good reason.

Heinz buckwheat milk porridge - Lumpy porridge. I won't buy this cereal again. And I don’t recommend it to you))) We’ve tried a lot of Heinz cereals. One of my favorites was buckwheat with apple, dairy-free.

Our pediatrician recommended buckwheat porridge as our first complementary food in the form of porridge. The first time I took “Theme” and was very pleased with it. And the second time, succumbing to advertising about high quality, bought Heinz porridge. And I was very disappointed with her!

We started complementary feeding at 6 months with porridge. We bought Nestlé rice porridge. It was necessary to breed her breast milk, the baby liked the porridge (on breast milk, of course), at the beginning when little porridge is given there are no problems, but then the volumes increase and you need to express more milk, in general it’s inconvenient. After…

Semolina porridge with buckwheat flavor is exactly what came to my mind when I mixed and tried this porridge. The porridge is diluted wonderfully, without any lumps, those who write about lumps apparently dilute it in boiling water or cold water. There are no complaints about the smell, color and taste.

Yes, I was stunned and so was my daughter! In general, I don’t like buckwheat - it’s bitter. When I myself stole buckwheat porridge for a child, that’s exactly what happened. But my attitude towards buckwheat (and my daughter’s too) changed radically after we tried Heinz porridge! I advise everyone - YUMMY and...

Our porridge was not on the counter and they took this one. It disappointed me, it seems like the company is not bad, but this porridge is something different. The composition seems to be normal, but add some water and it’s dark!

Buckwheat porridge cannot be called tasty; children do not like it. At the same time, you realize that it is very useful. So, when I bought this porridge, I suddenly realized that buckwheat can be tasty. We’re just used to eating it salty and cooked in water, but Heinz porridge is sweet and milky!

My eldest daughter and I only ate Heinz, Nestle and Baby porridge. When they started introducing porridge with my son, I couldn’t remember which one had previously been a higher priority with my daughter. Therefore, the introduction of cereals began by trial and error. It was decided to introduce the first buckwheat porridge.

I agree with those who don't like this mess. In addition to buckwheat porridge with milk, I also took buckwheat with apple. To be honest, neither the smell nor the taste resembled buckwheat, well, maybe very remotely.

Yes, well, what can I tell you: the porridge is really great, I read a lot of good reviews about it, but maybe you just haven’t tried anything better? I also trusted the advice, the company, and bought it. When I unpacked the first one, the smell “killed” me. the color of the powder, well, it doesn’t smell like buckwheat at all, especially with milk. Okay, regardless...

After reading reviews about the first feeding with porridge, I was drawn to the Heinz company for buckwheat porridge with milk. but it’s scary how poorly it dissolves, there are always lumps no matter how long and well you mix it. and the MAIN MINUS: after half the portion is eaten, the porridge in the plate becomes liquid.

I decided on Heinz brand cereals. I constantly experimented with cereals in search of something more tasty and healthy, and as a result, rashes appeared on the child’s skin.

I definitely give the product and manufacturer 5 points. Well done guys! What kind of talent does one have to have to sell buckwheat at an incredible price! Porridge is really healthy. And the kids need to eat it. Yes, it’s useful for adults too. I also bought it for mine and ate it myself.

Of course, there is nothing better and healthier than porridge, which you cooked yourself from buckwheat and homemade milk. But when there is no time to cook, and a hungry child will not wait! That's when Heinz cereal comes to my rescue. JUST ADD WATER! Delicious, aromatic porridge, without lumps or problems.

Instant, dry porridge with Heinz milk. So about this particular porridge. Having opened the package, I saw a dry, evenly ground mass without grains or lumps. Fills conveniently.

My son loves Heinz porridge very much. We started complementary feeding with them and continue to eat them, now my son is 1 year 4 m. I am happy with both the composition of the porridge and the price. I am especially pleased that new packaging has recently appeared, which for me personally is very convenient.

My son is almost 5 months old, after successful trials of complementary foods in the form of an apple and zucchini, we decided to try porridge. I'm all for it self-cooking food for the baby, but it so happened that there was no time to grind buckwheat in a mill, and then quite by chance I remembered that in the maternity hospital they gave it along with...

Although my daughter has already outgrown these cereals, she still decided to write this review. Heinz porridges are a little sweet, as I understand they contain ground buckwheat or maybe even flour. My daughter ate them with great pleasure. We bought them for about a year and a half, and then I decided to try real buckwheat.

I really like many Heinz products, so we started feeding with milk porridge with porridge of this brand. Unfortunately for me, I was disappointed. I’ll say right away that my daughter ate 2 packs of this particular porridge, but my success in breeding it was 5050.

Delicious porridge, good composition, clear instructions indicating proportions.

My twins immediately liked the porridge. Even my picky daughter. Usually my son opens his mouth to everything at once, as soon as you pick him up, but my daughter is capricious. But we became friends with buckwheat. Before that we tried Vinnie - he spits. We just had an afternoon snack with this particular porridge.

In general, I really like Heinz products! We started complementary feeding with dairy-free buckwheat. The composition inspired confidence. Then I started buying other Heinz cereals. I like everything. But somehow we can’t make friends with buckwheat. Lumps are constantly forming! As soon as I stopped kneading it.

We decided to start complementary feeding, first we ate vegetable and fruit purees and then it came to porridge. When we were in the hospital, the doctor recommended porridge in boxes that do not need to be cooked, because...

I’ll say right away that my baby is breastfeeding and at the same time she feels great, but as expected, I try to introduce everything she needs into her diet, as pediatricians, smart books and the Internet teach. Of course, this is not our first porridge.

The time has come for introducing complementary foods. They started giving me porridge. I bathed in Heinz buckwheat porridge with milk. I carefully read the composition. The composition is good (buckwheat flour, whole milk, sugar, cream powder, prebiotic chicory fiber 2 (inulin, oligofructose), calcium carbonate, iron, zinc oxide, iodide...

I, like any mother, take the nutrition of my child very seriously. Especially if it's complementary foods. Having tried almost all the cereals that are presented in the children's store, I can say that I like Heinz porridge the most. It’s delicious, I sometimes eat it myself when I don’t have time to prepare breakfast for myself.

We tried all sorts of porridges, but the worst was Heinz buckwheat porridge with milk. No taste or smell of buckwheat - that’s it. Secondly, at any water temperature, the porridge without lumps does not dissolve and looks like a cloudy watery slurry.

boil drinking water for 5-6 minutes and cool slightly;
pour into a plate required quantity flour from a box;
dissolve the flour in water that has cooled to forty degrees.

This is the easiest way to brew porridge because it does not require cooking. To brew thick porridge you will need less water than to brew thin porridge. The proportions are indicated on the packaging box.

If the baby is fed formula milk, you can brew porridge with the mixture. For breastfed babies, you can add breast milk to cereal: with the familiar taste, the child quickly adapts to the new product.

The range of porridges from Heinz products is distinguished by a variety of additives to the main cereal, however, a drop of olive or boiled butter can be added to the finished porridge for taste. This supplement is especially useful for children with low weight.

Feeding with cereals

The assortment of factory-made baby food allows you to choose the appropriate porridge for a certain age of the baby. For the first complementary foods, it is recommended to choose formulas without milk and the addition of fruits/vegetables. Nestlé or Heinz buckwheat porridge is good, and porridge made from rice or corn is also useful.

The nutritional plan for the first complementary feeding must be followed exactly: we start with one coffee spoon, gradually increasing the portion per spoon per day. If the baby’s body accepts the new cereal well, from the fifth day of complementary feeding you need to increase the portion as follows:

5th day: 50 grams;
6th day: 100 grams;
7th day: 150-200 grams.

Feed your baby one cereal for two weeks, then gradually switch to another. Go to new look cereals are produced using the method of displacement (substitution). On the first day, we give the baby the usual porridge and add one spoonful of the new one. On the second day - two spoons, and so on. After a week, you can completely replace one grain with another.

Before giving your baby porridge with added fruits/vegetables, introduce him to these products separately. It is necessary to monitor the body’s reaction to a new type of complementary food. If the child does not accept the new porridge and spits it out, do not force him to eat. Perhaps after some time he will fall in love with this cereal and will eat it with pleasure.

Do not start complementary feeding with multi-ingredient cereals. After the baby has become familiar with all the cereals separately, you can switch to multi-component mixtures.

When alone mother's milk the baby is not getting enough, they begin to feed him thicker food. In addition to various purees, porridges are chosen for this.

The older generation insists on the need to cook for the child themselves, so that all products are only fresh and natural. Reviews of Heinz cereals from experts indicate that the products do not contain preservatives or dyes. Long term storage is conditioned only by proper sealed packaging.

In addition to this, it can be noted that the completely homogeneous and soft consistency of Heinz porridge from 4 months (reviews on this matter are always positive) is ideal for children trying new food for the first time. It is quite difficult to obtain such a consistency at home; there will definitely be lumps. In addition, the product is enriched in production with vitamins and microelements necessary for growth, which is simply impossible to do at home.

Choosing the first porridge

To choose a specific product, many mothers begin their search by selecting a brand of porridge according to the baby’s taste preferences. This option is at least uneconomical, because the child may refuse new tastes, and purchasing a new pack of baby food every day is expensive for any pocket. At most, the baby may develop an allergy to the components of the product.

In order not to experiment on your own child, it is better to first read the opinions of young parents on the Internet, and then purchase specific product. If you believe the reviews, children are very rarely allergic to Heinz cereal.

In addition, they are well diluted with water, without forming lumps at all, and thanks to properly balanced ingredients, they are to the taste of every baby. The main recommendation for purchasing products from this manufacturer is that for a breastfed baby, it is best to choose Heinz dairy-free cereals. Reviews indicate that this way you can avoid many digestive problems.

Assortment of first porridges

So, cereal complementary feeding most often begins with Heinz dairy-free porridge. There are the most reviews about buckwheat on various forums. It is enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3s, which help proper development nervous system, attention and memory.

with banana;

All of them improve intestinal motility and saturate the baby’s body for long time. Heinz buckwheat porridge, according to mothers, contains a large amount of protein and essential nutrients, so very useful. In addition, it should be noted that this porridge is low-allergenic.

Rice porridge is described only as a wonderful way to fill a child. Of course, the taste is also emphasized.

The assortment also includes wheat porridge with pumpkin, which is rich in potassium, phosphorus and calcium. Heinz corn porridge is especially popular among low-allergenic porridges. Reviews from mothers indicate that it is very easily absorbed by the body, but unfortunately, not every baby likes it, which is rare among the products of this manufacturer.

Benefits for children

Developing a baby’s taste preferences begins with the very first spoon of new food, so parents try to select the diet for their baby as carefully as possible. Heinz porridges are simply ideal for this, because they harmoniously combine a variety of flavors and benefits.

The consistency of all porridges is creamy, without lumps, which means it is very easy for the baby to swallow it. For children from 6 months, the assortment includes tasty porridges with the addition of pieces of fruit, which further diversify the child’s taste preferences.
