In the interval between the 6th and 9th month, the child becomes acquainted with new products. In order for this process to be successful, you need to know where to start, when to give, make yourself, or buy a finished product. Puree for the first feeding should be based on vegetables.

A baby who feeds on breast milk may not need additional nutrients for up to 6-7 months. Children on bottle feeding  It is recommended to start feeding up earlier, about 4.5 months.

You can enter products in the following cases:

  1. the weight of the child corresponds to the age, monthly increases are normal;
  2. baby can eat upright;
  3. new skills of chewing food with small particles appeared.

The first is better to start introducing vegetables. They contain all the beneficial vitamins and minerals necessary for a growing body. Only after he gets used to them, offer fruit. Vegetables have a neutral taste, do not affect the work of metabolism, do not destroy tooth enamel.

If there is a lack of weight in infants, they start to introduce porridge, and then vegetable puree.

Offering a new dish, you need to follow the rules:

  • give it in the morning;
  • start with small portions;
  • the first lures should be one-component.

In the case when the baby refuses to eat, turns his head, you can try to give mashed potatoes in a couple of days. In this case, you can offer another vegetable. There is an option to mix vegetable puree with breast milk or mixture.

Features of the first lure

After the baby gets used to the new dish, the portion should be equal to a full meal. You can replace one of the milk feeds with vegetables. Later, at about 9-10 months, the vegetable puree becomes a side dish for meat or fish.

  The scheme for the introduction of complementary foods is as follows.

  1. Often parents are worried about how much food can be given for the first time? Start with half a teaspoon in the morning before the main feeding with breast milk or formula. If the baby is not observed allergic reactions, the dosage is gradually increased.

  4. If the reaction occurs after increasing the portion, the product should not be given to the child for several days.
  5. During the week, the portion is adjusted to 50–100 g.
  6. It is better to introduce the second vegetable not earlier than in a week. So it is easier to track the allergic reaction to a particular vegetable.

The slower the increase in the portion of the new product, the less the risk of developing allergies.

A scheme that takes into account age will help to decide the question of how much to give babies vegetable puree.

Dosage, g 120 140 150 170 180 200

  1. Used vegetables pass quality control, only ripe, fresh are selected.
  2. To make mashed potatoes, manufacturers strictly adhere to the recipe and take into account age-related features.

The body of each person is formed in infancy, so during this period of life it is especially important to organize a proper, balanced diet. The sad statistics show that every third baby today feeds on breast milk of the mother, rich in vitamins and essential minerals, and this means that the rest of the babies are forced to eat infant formula. In this regard, it is very important to know which mixtures are the most useful, and which should be completely abandoned. Help parents can rating baby food, in which you can get acquainted with manufacturers whose products are useful and safe. Such ratings are made up of test purchases, where the fate of a particular mixture is decided by ordinary consumers.

Rating of baby food manufacturers 2016 on the test purchase

Opinion of experts and experts involved in the study of the composition and useful properties infant formula should be considered, but the best experts in this industry are, after all, moms who encounter this in practice every day. When evaluating mixtures for baby food, they take into account, first of all, the appearance of the mixture, its smell and taste, where the percentage of fat content is especially important, which in breast milk  significantly lower than cow's milk. Considering the unsatisfactory quality of many modern dairy products, it is safe to say that the mixtures in which natural milk is present, as evidenced by the taste and color of the product, benefit. To help find out which mixtures for baby food are the most useful and tasty, we offer a baby food rating for the test purchase.

  • After a long inspection, which was carried out by the organizers of the test purchases and experts, it became known that by all indicators the “Baby” products became the leader among the milk formulas tested. This is especially pleasing, because the production of these mixtures is established in Russia. Not one generation of people have been fed on the products of this brand, and recently the “Baby” mixtures have been improved, they have become brighter, and the composition of mixtures that today meet world European standards has changed.
    • The second place in the control procurement rating was shared by the mixtures Nutricia and Nestle, which not only the customers liked, but also passed all examinations, according to the results of which they contain the permissible amount of harmful elements.





    • Semper mixes from a well-known Swedish manufacturer are very popular, and about 100 items of safe products are offered to consumers, distinguished by the absence of genetically modified elements in their composition. The disadvantage of products of this brand is poor digestibility.


    • Real European quality distinguishes Humana products from German manufacturers. In some ratings, Humana blends take leading positions in composition, and they are especially useful for children with allergies and those with digestive problems. It should, however, be noted that these mixtures are not always well absorbed by the immature organism of the child.


  • The concentration of harmful substances was normal and in Hipp mixtures - this is the real German quality and perfectly selected vitamin composition. However, it is worth noting that the products of this company contain harmful potato starch, moreover, these mixtures are poorly absorbed by the children's body.


    • Friso’s production didn’t withstand elementary testing, which didn’t even pass the test purchase qualifying round, and this is primarily due to the fact that it contains less iron than indicated on the package, and such mixtures are considered unsafe for human health. as they found a high concentration of harmful substances.


Rating of manufacturers of baby food are according to the composition of the mixtures and their benefits for the health of the child. Not only mixes that were submitted to the buyers during the test purchase can be winners in different versions. There are other companies whose products are in great demand, while it should be noted that there are quite a few Russian companies among them.

Rating of Russian manufacturers of infant formula

In addition to the well-known mixes marketed under the “Baby” brand, manufacturers appeared on the Russian baby food market, able to compete with European companies whose products are in great demand. In this regard, it is worth getting to know them better.


  • Among domestic producers, Frutonyan products stand out, represented by fruit and vegetable juices, cereals and mashed potatoes. It is this company that received the honorary status of “People’s Brand”, and the company has been proving for the second decade already that this is indeed the case. Mixes "Frutonyanya" are developed taking into account the child's age his needs for vitamins and minerals. The composition of the mixtures include only organic products.


    • The baby food rating for newborns can be continued by the products of the Babushkino Lukoshko brand, which is also preferred by many Russians. These mixtures are developed by experts of the Institute of Nutrition, they do not contain elements containing GMOs and preservatives, but the puree of this brand has an unusual taste, which suits not all babies.


    • Dairy and dairy products of the brand "Theme" are considered the best and differ from other manufacturers. In this regard, "Theme" could lead the ranking of baby food in jars, but the lack of a large assortment of mashed potatoes and its poor taste variety do not allow mixtures of this brand to take a higher place.


  • Among the favorites of Russian fathers and mothers should highlight the products of the brand "Agusha". These mixtures were also highly appreciated during the test purchase, where she topped the rating in the nomination “national selection”. “Agusha” products are presented in a wide range, including mashed potatoes, milk mixtures, curds, however, overdue products are often found on the shelves, which indicates a poor work of the distribution department.



  Buying milk mixtures, and the decision on the feasibility of their use should be coordinated with doctors, do not forget that you should carefully study their composition and know how often they can be used. If the age of your child does not exceed six months, it is enough to feed the children once every three to three and a half hours, and to feed the older babies with mixtures after 4 hours. At the same time, many people are interested in whether it is possible to combine infant formula and breastfeeding, to which the experts answer that this is a normal practice, contributing to the improvement of the health of the child. The main thing is to choose the right mixture, taking into account the taste preferences of the baby and the composition of the mixtures, which should include beneficial bacteria, vitamins and trace elements.
