How old can babies eat fruit puree?

Babies can usually eat some fruit puree between 4 and 6 months old, starting with rice soup and rice paste, and then gradually adding fruit puree. If you want to feed your baby fruit puree before six months, you must give it a little less a day, and observe the baby's digestion. It should be treated according to the specific situation of the baby's development, and the choice should be from less to more. When adding new complementary foods for the first time, observe the baby's reaction to the new complementary foods, including stool, mental state, and whether there is a rash on the skin. Because the baby's gastrointestinal function is not fully developed, if complementary foods are added too early, the baby will have diarrhea symptoms. At the beginning, just eat a little bit, otherwise too much will easily cause damage to the stomach and intestines, and it needs to be heated when eating. Adding fruit puree can start with apple puree, which is more suitable for all kinds of stomachs of babies.

Which brand of fruit puree is good?

First of all, from the packaging design, except for HiPP, which is packaged in glass bottles, the other three products are all in sucking packaging, which is easy to carry outside and will not be scattered everywhere by babies. From the perspective of appearance, the Naughty Partner with big eyes and cartoon fruit design is more popular with babies. Then we look at the certification of raw materials. Except for Heinz, the other three products are organic and safe for babies to eat. Among them, Naughty Partner and Little Pi are organic foods certified by the European Union. Then we look at the ingredients. There are many additives and sugars in the ingredient list of Heinz, which are not good for the health of babies. The other three fruit purees are additive-free. HiPP's fruit and vegetable varieties are relatively single, and Little Pi and Naughty Partner focus on mixed fruits and vegetables, which is conducive to the diversification of babies' diets. Finally, let's look at the taste. Babies are willing to eat only if the taste is good, so it is also a very important indicator. In comparison, Heinz is sweeter, Little Pi has a stronger fruit flavor but is sour, and Naughty Partner and HiPP have a moderate sweet and sour taste, which is also what my baby likes.

Which is better, fruit puree or juice puree?

The nutritional value of fruit puree is higher. The nutrients in fruits are basically stored in the fiber in the pulp. Fruit puree is the pulp that is broken into a muddy state. There is no discarded part. It just changes the properties of the fruit to make it easier for the baby to swallow and digest. In this way, the nutrients in the fruit are greatly retained and the nutrients will not be lost. Juice discards the fiber in the pulp and only leaves the juice. In this way, fewer nutrients in the fruit will be retained. The discarded part is just the nutritious part, and the rest is basically sugar. This is why babies love to drink juice. Children can eat both juice and puree. It’s just a matter of taste. Then it’s about which kind of production it is suitable for. It has nothing to do with the stomach burden mentioned by the above friend, because there are also purees and juices for sale in maternity and baby supermarkets. My baby eats both. Letting the baby try more flavors is also helpful for the smooth addition of complementary foods.

Which is better, puree or fresh fruit?

Generally, if fruits are made into puree for consumption, it is mostly considered for people with poor teeth or children. This makes it easier to swallow and digest.
