Little Secrets
So, your baby has grown enough so that in addition to mother's milk, receive an additional lure. Of course, it is necessary to start with vegetables. And please note - all of the vegetables the child should be given only in a shabby, puree consistency.
And very often young parents prefer to follow the path of least resistance, and buy ready-made fruit purees industrial production. However, even doctors - pediatricians agree that fresh homemade vegetable soup contains more vitamins and nutrients. But also purchased vegetable purees also have a right to be.
There are a few general rules of administration in the diet of baby vegetables:
In no case do not enter into the diet of a child more than one species of vegetables for one week. This requirement is only fair and reasonable. In that case, if the child starts an allergic reaction, or disruption of the gastro - intestinal tract, without you - or the difficulty in determining what kind of vegetables has led to a less adverse reactions. So, you can easily remove it, simply - simply excluded from the diet the newly introduced form of vegetables.

This means that food, having in its composition of several components, the child can not digest so simple, in contrast to that food, which consists of a single component.
- Carefully grind vegetables
In that case, if you decide to cook vegetable purees yourself thoroughly ground vegetables. In no case should not be allowed to remain in the vegetable puree large pieces of vegetables - firstly, a child can choke on them, and secondly - to digest large pieces of food to children's digestive tract is still very, very difficult.
