The gastrointestinal system of the baby is imperfect, and certain foods are needed for its proper functioning. Therefore, pediatricians advise starting the first complementary foods with mashed potatoes. Industrial products act gently and do not cause a negative reaction. Simplerul’s experts figured out the best product choice and made their rating based on the main criteria and customer reviews.

How to choose puree for the first feeding

Why do pediatricians advise starting the first complementary foods with vegetable purees? Due to the lack of fructose – the main irritant of the pancreas and intestines. Mom can cook a vegetable herself and grind it in a blender. However, experts recommend store products, because they are made using a special technology in compliance with all norms and rules.

It is better to opt for a well-known brand. Popular companies protect their reputation without violating production technologies. And then parents should study the information on the jar:

1. Natural composition. There should be no preservatives, salt or other ingredients. Few people know, but salt is already present in the product itself. Its excess can cause a negative reaction of the body.

2. Grinding degree. High-quality puree for the first feeding should be well mashed, homogeneous and without lumps.

3. Mono and multicomponent. The recipe for the first puree includes only one ingredient. After the child gets used to a particular type of vegetable, you can gradually offer him a different one. Multi-component dishes should appear on the menu when the baby tries separately the products present in this puree.

4. Hypoallergenicity. The selected product must not contain ingredients that cause adverse reactions.

5. jar integrity. Parents should inspect each container at the time of purchase for dents, chips on the glass. You also need to pay attention to the date of manufacture.

6. Age. Each package has an age limit. It is worth considering this factor.

By following simple rules, you can choose a good puree for the first feeding.

How to start the first weaning

The first complementary foods usually begin with the permission of the local doctor, approximately at 5-6 months. The main rule is gradualness. Give a new product for 1/4 spoon. Every day the dose is increased by half. Then bring to a full jar. If after this there was no negative reaction, then this dish is suitable.

The diet is expanded, introducing no more than one new component per week. If redness appears on the skin, or the stool has changed, you will have to postpone the puree for 1,5 months.

At 6-7 months, it is better to buy a vegetable dish from the following products: zucchini, pumpkin, broccoli, cauliflower. At 7-8 months, it is allowed to introduce a product based on fruits and meat. At this age, you should begin to introduce your baby to semi-solid foods, adding them to pureed dishes.

New food should not be introduced in the following cases:

1. child is sick;

2. the weather is very hot;

3. preventive vaccinations are given

.

Sometimes it takes up to 10 feeding attempts for a baby to approve a new product. The main food of the crumbs is still formula milk or breast milk. Our rating includes brands of the best purees for the first complementary foods from various manufacturers. It remains to get acquainted with their advantages and disadvantages.

Rating: 4.9

Our experts gave the second position in the rating to the HIPP trademark. The company offers Russian customers a wide range of products – over 120 items from various categories of goods. More than half of the range has the “BIO” mark, which proves the organic origin of the components. The puree is approved by Russian experts and inspires confidence due to its natural composition. It contains only vegetables and water.

The consistency is uniform and moderately thick. On sale there are products with the taste of zucchini, broccoli, pumpkin. The latter option is especially praised.

Rating: 4.8

Heinz is no less famous manufacturer than the previous participant in the rating. The company fundamentally abandoned the use of preservatives, flavors, dyes and GMOs. The brand is in great demand among modern parents.

Mashed potatoes with zucchini can be of several types. Therefore, we recommend not to be guided by the label, but always study the composition of the product. At the moment, Heinz produces zucchini puree called “Zucchini” and “Zucchini”. The first one contains cornmeal. Accordingly, you can no longer call it single-component. It is better not to buy the product for children who are not familiar with corn on their menu. The second option “Zucchini” contains only vegetables and water. It is ideal for the first feeding. The rest of the trademark purees are quite suitable for parents in terms of composition. On average, one jar of 80 grams costs 50 rubles.

Semper

Rating: 4.7

The Semper brand has won great trust from parents due to its high-quality composition. On sale you can find mashed potatoes from zucchini, carrots, broccoli, pumpkin. They contain only the appropriate vegetables and water. For a four-month-old baby, there are prunes, blueberries, apples, and pears to choose from.

The consistency is homogeneous, without lumps. Therefore, mashed potatoes are optimally suited for introducing little gourmets to the first complementary foods. Allergic reactions in children were not observed. The cost is quite high. On average, 100 rubles for a jar of 80 grams.

Fleur Alpine

Rating: 4.6

The next place in the ranking is occupied by Fleur Alpine. The manufacturer indicates that all vegetables for puree are grown in clean fields in Scotland, and are processed using innovative production technologies.

Jars of cauliflower and broccoli contain rice flour. It is added here in a 50/50 ratio with the main vegetable. This means that such formulations can only be given to children who have already tried rice. No negative reactions were found in babies, however, the presence of flour overshadows the vegetable smell.

From the line for the first complementary foods, pumpkin puree is valued. The product is completely monocomponent, does not cause allergies and is very popular with children in terms of taste. On average, a jar from Fleur Alpine costs 100 rubles.

Grandma’s basket

Rating: 4.5

Enjoy the varied assortment. Reviews about “Grandmother’s basket” are contradictory. There is information about the presence of foreign objects in the jar, which is associated with non-compliance with the rules of production at the plant itself. Prices are quite democratic. For a jar of 100 grams, you will have to pay about 60 rubles.

NUTRICIA

Rating: 4.4

Our experts gave the next place in the rating to NUTRICIA. Most parents praise the brand’s products for their great taste. Children, as a rule, are delighted with the first complementary foods of this manufacturer.

Some parents are alarmed by the presence of rice flour in vegetable purees. Such a dish is suitable only for those children who have already tried rice. But this is the only negative in the composition declared on the package. There is a lack of confidence in the shelf life of products. For example, NUTRICIA cauliflower lasts 2 years in a closed jar and 48 hours in an open one. Usually the shelf life of mashed potatoes in the first case is 1 year, in the second – 24 hours. A jar of 125 grams will cost about 55 rubles.

The product is perfect for babies as a first food. According to the experience of parents, the child’s stool after its use improves markedly, allergic reactions do not occur. The reason for this is a good composition: only vegetables and water.

The flavors are pretty decent. Even broccoli is eaten by babies instantly. Although the composition does not contain any salt or other flavoring additives. In zucchini puree, there are small dark blotches, similar to the peel of a vegetable. The price is quite reasonable for this quality. The price for a jar of 80 grams will be approximately 40 rubles. If you buy mashed potatoes in online stores for several pieces in a package, you can save a lot (1 container will cost 29-30 rubles).

HUMAN

Rating: 4.2

The German brand inspires the confidence of most Russian mothers, while in Germany the HUMANA trademark does not belong to the premium category, although it meets all quality standards.

Rating: 4.1

Our experts gave the next place in the rating to the manufacturer of baby food “Tyoma”. The brand is famous for making delicious meat puree for little gourmets.

Baby

Rating: 4.0

On the last lines of the rating is mashed potatoes from the Russian manufacturer “Spelyonok”. Vegetables and fruits for cooking are grown in the Volgograd region. In order to preserve the maximum benefit from nature, the products are made in the harvest season, and then the “cold rub” method is used. Contains no harmful chemicals or sugar. The introduction of food into the diet does not cause allergies.

Liquid consistency is ideal for the very first complementary foods. However, some customers complain about the presence of small particles in pumpkin puree, which can be processed seeds. Glass containers have stickers on the sides that indicate the integrity of the jar. A characteristic sound when unscrewing indicates tightness.

The cost cannot but rejoice. For a jar of 80 grams, you will have to pay about 30 rubles. Thus, the price is quite consistent with the quality.

Agusha

Rating: 4.0

The domestic brand “Agusha” closes the rating. The manufacturer has a diverse line, products vary in composition and density. The most liquid are cauliflower and zucchini, the denser ones are carrots and pumpkin. This difference is related to the order in which new products are introduced. Babies who are breastfed easily take the first solid food in the form of a liquid consistency.

Pleased with the absence of starch and salt. It is also worth noting the hypoallergenicity of products, a detailed description of the composition, recommendations for use on the package, the presence of a thermal label, availability in stores.

Not all children like the taste properties. Perhaps due to the fact that the composition contains nothing but water and the product itself. Purees are reasonably priced. Only 36 rubles for a jar of 80 grams.
