Baby food

"You are what you eat," says an old proverb with which it is impossible to disagree. Therefore, you should pay attention to the quality of food from the first product introduced into the diet of a newborn. Discover the food products recommended by the Institute of Mother and Child.

Food products for children

A child's body needs fuel in the form of micronutrients and nutrients to develop properly. A two-year-old's caloric needs are 1100-1200 calories, while a three-year-old's need is between 1200 and 1300 calories. Make sure these calories don't come from low-quality foods. So-called "empty calories" are not good fuel for either the developing body of a toddler or the adult body of a parent.

A child needs vitality to explore the world every day. Organic baby food or healthy baby food guarantees a constant supply of vital energy. It is assumed that a well-balanced children's diet should provide 12% of energy from protein, 30-35% from fat, and 53-58% from carbohydrates. Food products such as baby soups recommended by the Institute of Mother and Child help maintain this healthy balance.

It's also important to ensure your child receives a daily dose of calcium, which increases with age and, for example, for a three-year-old, is 700 mg/day. Initially, calcium needs are met through natural food—breast milk. Later, when introducing other foods into your child's diet, it's worth choosing those recommended by the Institute of Mother and Child.

When to start feeding a breastfed baby?

In line with the current (2008) position of the ESPGHAN Nutrition Committee, the baby should be breastfed for at least the first 6 months of life. Complementary foods should be introduced between 26 and 37 weeks of age - avoid sugar-rich and low-nutrient foods. Developing proper eating habits in a child helps to avoid problems with diabetes or overweight in the future.
