Patriotic Milk and meat industry, specialized dairy kitchens produce enough baby food. However, some women prefer to cook certain types of food themselves.With the principle of approval to this attitude, we emphasize that the preparation of food for infants - it is very responsible.
Prepare food for the child must always be in a separate dish, designed for just this purpose. Every time before using the utensils should be thoroughly washed with hot water and soda (in 1 liter of water a teaspoon of baking soda) and pour over boiling water. Dishes, from which the child will eat (cup, spoon, bottle) should be boiled for 10 minutes, after thorough washing in hot water with the addition of soda.
You can not mete out the necessary components “by eye” and to cook, “as my grandmother taught. In those days, some children’s products was not yet in sight. When buying baby food should be studied carefully the instructions on the package, if available, or read cooking technologies in the book and follow the specified rules. Pointless and even harmful to overstate the amount mentioned in the instructions components: food from this better not be, but a baby can upset digestion. The famous proverb ” Porridge oil you will not spoil’ in dietetics infant inappropriate. Do not boil the food for a long time - so she loses a lot of valuable qualities. Ideally, if the mother prepares the child with no future use, and just before each feeding.
It should take care of the external design of the table. Beautiful dishes, cleanliness, order, napkins (albeit unnecessary), a pleasant aroma, good soft music, gentle, smiling mother - let so impressed with a very early age in the mind of a child eating. And it is not only educational, aesthetic value. Well shaped dish, a favorable environment during the meal stimulates the appetite, the food at the same time to digest and better.
