Product Information

Its ideal for little ones with dietary requirements, as many products are free from dairy, gluten, nuts, egg and soya. As long as your child is getting a varied and balanced diet, both homemade and pre-packaged baby foods can be good options to feed them. Although it's available in pharmacies and supermarkets, it's recommended you only use it on the advice of a health professional. First infant formula is based on whey protein which is thought to be easier to digest than other types of formula.

Formula comes in 2 different forms: a dry powder you make up with water, or a ready-to-feed liquid formula. Soft finger foods (such as cooked vegetables or fruit) are good for starting out, as they'll help to develop motor skills.She has been fine on baby rice, fruit and veg but I gave her some organic plain baby porridge today and wherever the porridge touched her face it turned red and blotchy with little white welts. Piccolo Organic came top, with a surprising 100% of parents saying their baby was happy to eat it, while HiPP Organic and Tesco own brand weren't far behind, with 99% of parents saying the food made their babies happy.

However, if you think a particular brand of formula disagrees with your baby, talk to a midwife or health visitor. Semi-skimmed cows' milk is a suitable main drink for children over 2 who are eating a balanced diet.Growing-up and toddler milks are marketed as an alternative to whole cows' milk for toddlers and children over 1 year old.

Allow your baby to go at their own pace and explore new foods and textures (even if it's a little messy). When your baby is 1 year old, they can start to drink whole cows' milk or sheep's or goats' milk (as long as these milks are pasteurised). After trying a little yogurt and some cheese the same rash occurred so I took her to the GP who referred her to a specialist. It's occasionally used as an alternative to cows' milk formula for babies who have cows' milk allergy. Partially hydrolysed formula (comfort formula) is not suitable for babies who have cows' milk allergy.I did find one of the organic porridges (I think it was Plum but can't remember 100% now) that had no powdered milk in and she was fine with that. This type of formula contains cows' milk proteins that have already been partly broken down (partially hydrolysed). To discover which food babies like the best, we also asked parents how happy, if at all, their baby was when eating it. So my advice would be to try different porridges to see how your little one reacts and every now and again, maybe monthly, try the ones she reacted to again to see how she is and hopefully yours will grow out of it to.

Likewise some can tolerate cheese and yoghurt but not milk itself, some will not react to cooked dairy produce but can't tolerate raw, and so on. Hi Michelle, I have just seen your post and was wondering if you ever got to the bottom of your daughters skin reaction to porridge. To help you pick the best baby food for your little one, we've asked parents to rank popular baby food brands for appearance, smell, value for money and convenience. This type of formula is thickened with the aim of preventing reflux in babies (when babies bring up milk during or after a feed). It's important to take extra care when making up and storing these products as powdered formula is not sterile and making it up at lower temperatures will not kill any harmful bacteria it may contain.The doctor just seemed to think that she was a bit young for the powdered milk that was in these porridges - even though some babies are fine. I thought ıt may be an allergy to gluten so I tried a cow and gate gluten free porridge - but if anything the rash was worse and more immediate. Cooking takes time, while pre-made pouches are easy for your child to eat from, and don't involve cleaning up any dishes afterwards. This is supposed to make it easier to digest and help prevent digestive problems such as colic and constipation.
