10 best mashed potatoes for the first feeding

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

Store products must pass several levels of quality control, before you get to the shelves. There are other important points that each parent should think about:

1. Cost Not always expensive mashed potatoes are better than cheap ones. Usually moms and dads do not spare the money for the child and try to buy the most expensive food, hoping for the best quality. It is important to understand that the cost of mashed potatoes is made up of several factors: the type of packaging, the originality of the design, as well as the cost of advertising, sales and transportation. Therefore, the price must be paid attention last. The first thing that should interest parents - the composition and date of manufacture. Also, do not forget about the taste preferences of the crumbs.
2. Main cast. It is important to determine the choice of composition for feeding. The first vegetables should be broccoli, cauliflower and zucchini. However, in infants suffering from colic, they can cause increased flatulence, and thereby aggravate the situation. Pumpkin and carrot puree have a high risk of allergies.
3. Additional ingredients. Quality products do not contain preservatives, dyes or flavor enhancers. It is better if there is no sugar and salt in the lure. Spices in mashed potatoes are not allowed. Do not buy a product that has soy.
4. The age of the baby. It is not advised to introduce the first complementary feed early. Fruit treat give immediately after the vegetable. Meat puree is recommended to enter from 6 months. Berry and fish products may cause an allergic reaction. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful with it. Multicomponent puree is administered after 1 year.
5. Quality. Mashed potatoes should be safe and hypoallergenic. It is desirable that the inscription on the package reads: “Recommended by the Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences.” It is necessary to pay attention to the degree of grinding of ingredients.
6. Tightness. When opening the can, a characteristic cotton should be heard. This indicates the freshness of the product. It is permissible to purchase products in the form of a screw cap, cardboard packaging. However, banks are considered more environmentally friendly. When buying the first feed, you must carefully inspect the packaging. It should not be deformed.

Of course, it is also important to pay attention to the trademark. We tried to study all modern manufacturers of baby food and made a rating of the best domestic and foreign companies that implement mashed potatoes for the first complementary foods. Experienced pediatricians and real feedback from parents helped us to compile the rating.
