Fruit compotes are ideal for babies because they are very rich in essential nutrients and provide unique benefits for their development. We discover 4 delicious recipes to make at home.
If you have been a mother or father and your baby is already a few months old, it is quite likely that you have already noticed one thing: depending on the pediatrician, the beginning of solid and complementary feeding will begin sooner or later. In the same way, it also depends on whether or not the little one is drinking breast milk.
Thus, for example, if the baby is not drinking breast milk and only feeds on formula milk (also known as complementary), the most common is that he begins to eat the first fruits after the fourth month of age, while if continues with breast milk, it is common to delay this beginning until six months.
And do you know what the first fruits of the baby are? The most recommended are those that are easy to digest, easily assimilated, have a mild and sweet taste and also have a low risk of causing allergies or intolerances. In this group we can mainly mention the pear, a very complete fruit rich in amino acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids; the apple, rich in fiber, water, vitamins and minerals; and the banana, very rich in carbohydrates and easily digestible.
When starting to introduce fruits, it is best to start offering the baby single fruit porridge, continuing for 3 or 4 days to see if any intolerance or allergy occurs and to find out if the baby likes it. After those days we can add another different fruit, and do the same thing again: wait 3 or 4 more days. For example, if we start with the banana, then try the pear and then the apple.
