Baby Feeding: Essential Tips for a Good Start
Share
Feeding your baby is a crucial step in their growth. At Mia Baby Shop , your online store specializing in baby products , we know how important it is to ensure proper and safe nutrition for your little one. Here is a complete guide to accompany you on this food adventure.
The First Months: Breastfeeding and Infant Milk
For the first six months, breastfeeding is recommended by the WHO, as it provides all the essential nutrients that babies need. However, formula is a great alternative for parents who cannot or do not wish to breastfeed.
Food Diversification: From 6 Months
Around 6 months, baby is ready to discover new flavors. This is the beginning of food diversification .
Foods to introduce:
Purees of mild vegetables : carrots, zucchini, sweet potatoes.
Fruit compotes : apples, pears, very ripe bananas.
Gluten-free infant cereal to start.
Useful products at Mia Baby Shop:
Small airtight jars for storing homemade meals.
Baby-friendly cutlery and non-slip plates for curious little hands.
Baby Hydration
From the beginning of diversification, offer water to baby in a training cup . Water is preferable to fruit juice to avoid excess sugar.
Good Practices for Peaceful Meals
-
Establish a feeding routine : meals at fixed times reassure baby.
-
Respect the child's pace : don't force, suggest.
-
Promote food autonomy : let baby explore his food.
Beware of Allergens
Gradually introduce potentially allergenic foods (eggs, peanuts, fish), under supervision. If in doubt, consult your pediatrician.
