The Best Method For Feeding A Baby

Our children have no real say in what they eat; it all depends on what we choose to give them. By adopting a responsible attitude and giving them a good start in life they are likely to grow up string and healthy.

Once they are ready to start on solids and leave the breast, don’t rush out and buy loads of ready made baby food, they contain all sorts of additives that your baby just doesn’t need. Try making your own instead.

A lot of parents can’t wait to wean their babies and introduce lots of different foods into their baby’s diet, but quite frankly this is just going to upset their delicate stomachs. Introduce things gradually, and start them off with a fruit that is mashed to a puree or paste. Choose fruit that is easy on the digestive system, such as pear or buttermilk squash.

After your baby has tried various fruits over a period of time, you can try them on different foods. A smooth mash of boiled carrot and potato is ideal, as are thin broths or cereals.

Always remember that mashes must be smooth and have nothing added. A thin porridge made from mashed banana is perfect; but don’t add any sugar.

A good way to make a broth when your child is a bit older is to make it with organic chicken, but strain it so they get the goodness but there is no chance of choking on the pieces of chicken.

When preparing broth and the like, avoid ‘windy’ veg such as onions and wait a while before adding pulses. Cauliflower and broccoli can also cause wind so leave those until later too.

Making your children’s baby food is a lot cheaper as well as being much healthier. You know exactly what’s going into it and can relax in the knowledge that your baby is getting a great start in life.
