Blender Brings Easy Baby Formula Making

When breast milk is no longer enough to meet the nutritional needs of the infant, baby formula should be added to the diet of the child. The transition from exclusive breastfeeding to family foods, referred to as complementary feeding, typically covers the period from 6 to 18-24 months of age, and is a very vulnerable period. It is the time when malnutrition starts in many infants, contributing significantly to the high prevalence of malnutrition in children under five years of age world-wide.

WHO recommends that infants start receiving complementary foods at 6 months of age in addition to breast milk, initially 2-3 times a day between 6-8 months, increasing to 3-4 times daily between 9-11 months and 12-24 months with additional nutritious snacks offered 1-2 times per day, as desired.

However, for mummy, making healthy and tasty baby food is a little difficult, because they need to make all the foods in a mashed state. Now, a right and good blender can solve your worries.

Protein-rich foods are generally introduced to infants between 6 and 8 months of age. If an additional source of iron or zinc is needed and the infant is developmentally ready, protein rich foods may be introduced between 4 and 6 months. Iron and zinc are nutrients of concern for exclusively breastfed infants and should be considered when caregivers determine a time to introduce protein-rich foods. Protein-rich foods include meat, poultry, fish, egg yolks, cheese, yogurt, and legumes.

All-rounded nutrition is the necessary element for babies’ growing. Just use a good blender to solve all the trouble during the preparation of complementary foods.
