The birth of a child, no matter how you plan it, brings a lot of trouble to parents, and you will especially not envy those parents whose children turn out to be picky and do not eat everything that is offered to them. Undoubtedly, the main product of newborns is mother's milk, but it is often not enough or not at all, besides, sooner or later the child will need complementary foods - baby food containing a full complex useful vitamins and minerals. Several generations have already grown up on baby food, but baby purees are especially popular among children, which is why we offer a rating of baby purees for 2017, because you can make a choice yourself, taking into account a large number of proposals are difficult.

What baby puree can be called the best?

Experts advise mothers, even those who do not have problems with breastfeeding, gradually transfer the child to baby food - a transitional stage before switching to familiar products nutrition. It is better to do this starting from 4 months of age, although there will be nothing wrong if the child tries the first puree earlier. To the rating baby puree include products containing meat or vegetables, but if you are taking the first steps, pay attention to vegetable purees, and only after the child gets used to them, can you introduce meat into your baby’s diet. We offer a rating of baby food for newborns and slightly older babies:

• Fifth place. When determining the best baby puree for complementary feeding, we assessed the quality and benefits of the main ingredients included in it. The products of the Agusha brand can rightfully be called the best baby food, and since everyone knows beneficial features pears, we were interested in Agusha Pear puree, recommended for complementary feeding starting from 4 months. It does not contain salt or preservatives, but has wonderful aroma and taste.

• Fourth place. The rating of baby rabbit and turkey puree includes products of the Hipp brand, whose authority cannot be doubted, but in the early stages artificial feeding We are more interested in vegetable dishes, so Hipp Pumpkin puree is ideal. As you would expect, it does not contain preservatives, it also does not contain sugar or salt, but it does contain good taste and a large number of useful substances contained in pumpkin. It is recommended to introduce it into a child’s diet starting from 5 months.

• Third place. The rating of baby broccoli puree is deservedly topped by the product of the Gerber brand, and Gerber “Only Pumpkin” is the best of its kind. It does not contain any preservatives, there is no sugar or salt in the puree, and it contains all the beneficial substances contained in pumpkin.

• Second place. “Only zucchini” - this is how the Gerber company presents its next product, whose baby food was also included in the rating of baby zucchini puree. Perhaps this is the best baby puree for newborns, although, like any complementary food, it is recommended to be introduced into a child’s diet starting from 4 months of age.

• First place. The best baby puree, according to mothers, is also made from a natural product - zucchini, without adding salt, sugar or harmful preservatives. It's about about the product of the Spelenok trademark. This is the best baby zucchini puree, and this is confirmed by many parents surveyed, and the conclusions of experts confirm this.

The first feeding is very important stage in the life of a baby and his mother, the first step in adult nutrition. Here it is important not only to find a natural product that is prepared only from natural, fresh products, but also an ingredient composition that is compatible with the child’s body and will not cause allergic reactions and digestive problems. The first thing you need to pay attention to after opening the can is whether the “click” characteristic of canned food has occurred (there must be one). Do not forget to read the composition, it may contain components that activate allergic reactions, for example, gluten, lactose or milk protein.

To make choosing baby food much easier, this rating was created based on the opinions of customers and experts.

Semper Broccoli with rabbit and rice

Semper is a very affordable multi-component puree for children from 9 months, the price of which is only 120 rubles per 200 gram jar. Rabbit is one of the most digestible meat products, the percentage of digestible proteins is 96% - this is even more than that of turkey and chicken. A special feature of rice is that it contains no gluten, which is often contraindicated for children due to allergies to it. Broccoli is an easily digestible cabbage, a real storehouse of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Benefits of broccoli: eliminates constipation, normalizes blood sugar, strengthens the nervous system, completely hypoallergenic, 100 grams of the product contains 100% daily children's dose of vitamin C, 25% dose of calcium and 10% iron. Semper puree is prepared exclusively from natural ingredients: rabbit, broccoli, rice, carrots, salt, water, rapeseed oil, rice flour (for thickness), and cream.

TEMA Chicken with beef

The ninth place in the ranking of baby purees in 2018 is occupied by the TEMA brand with chicken and beef. The composition is truly natural, quite high in calories, and not entirely hypoallergenic, namely: chicken and beef, rice (gluten-free), salt, dill (extract), milk powder and water - all this allows us to draw one conclusion: you should consult before use with a doctor, because dill, or rather it essential oils, and milk (lactose) can cause allergies in a child. What is healthy about beef: it contains all the necessary amino acids; helps strengthen the heart, bones, muscles, cleanse the body of “bad cholesterol”; improves memory. Chicken does everything the same, only it is more greedy for “extra” calories and generous with glutamine, an amino acid that stimulates muscle growth. The price for a 100 gram jar is 50 rubles. TEMA is the most cost-effective product for children not predisposed to allergies.

Milupa Nutricia Turkey

Nutricia is a global manufacturer and the strongest leader in the field of baby nutrition. So, Milupa from Nutricia with turkey flavor is really made from incredibly tender meat from a seemingly so “obstinate”, pompous bird. The composition, in addition to turkey meat, includes water and starch. According to reviews, the composition is light, as befits the color of poultry fillet, clean, uniform, with a pronounced smell of young turkey meat. Suitable for first feeding from 6 months. Turkey has very good health indicators: firstly, turkey meat is 95 percent digestible, and secondly, it contains a lot of potassium, which strengthens the walls of the heart and blood vessels, and phosphates - an integral structural material of DNA and RNA. The price per jar is about 80 rubles. It is recommended to consume two single-component baby purees from rabbit and turkey sequentially: rabbit is introduced into the diet first, and only then, a month or two later, turkey.

Bibikol Apple and goat curd

The product is created for real gourmets. According to reviews, the composition tastes vaguely like cheese curds with apple filling, only without sugar. Bibikol is prepared from apples and natural goat cottage cheese, in which, due to fermented ripening, caseins (proteins) are broken down and lactose is hydrolyzed - decomposed into simple sugars. Thanks to these processes, the likelihood of allergic reactions and the inability of milk proteins to be absorbed by the child’s body is reduced. Apples are a storehouse of iron and the antioxidant catechin - one of the most powerful antioxidants (by the way, the enzyme catechin is the main organic substance due to which the fruit darkens after cutting, having entered into a chemical reaction with oxygen). Duet of two the healthiest products fills children's body energy, improves immunity, stimulates growth muscle mass, has a beneficial effect on the vital activity of beneficial microflora in the intestines. The price for an 80 gram jar is about 100-110 rubles.

Heinz Zucchini

Heinz adds baby zucchini puree to the list. The product does not contain salt or sugar; it is prepared from natural zucchini with the addition of corn starch and water to give the consistency a uniform, slightly liquid richness. Squash fruits contain a large amount of minerals and vitamins: potassium, magnesium - strengthen the heart muscle, blood vessels; titanium – necessary for the formation of red blood cells, as well as the synthesis of hemoglobin; aluminum is indispensable in the construction of bone and connective tissue, which is why zucchini is so valued in the diet of a growing organism; vitamins of groups B, and C, etc. Zucchini puree has a moderate diuretic effect, thereby helping to remove salts from the body - this means that you will need to change diapers a little more often! It is recommended to introduce it into the diet of children aged 4 years and older. The minimum portion of 80 grams costs about 35 rubles.

Grandma's Lukoshko with zucchini

Babushkino Lukoshki is the best baby zucchini puree. The product is prepared from 100% zucchini puree - boiled fruits, finely ground with a blender or device that performs a similar function. Recommended as first complementary food from 4 months of age. Zucchini is much more healthy and high-calorie than its close relative, the cucumber, and it is also easier to digest, especially when boiled. Due to the fact that the mass fraction of dry (without water) substances in mature squash fruits is greater than in cucumbers and other melons, a portion of Babushkino Lukoshko with zucchini turns out to be quite thick. Ripe zucchini fruits contain a whole complex of vitamins and microelements: tocopherol – a natural antioxidant; vitamins C, A – strengthen the body’s protective functions; potassium is a conductor of nerve impulses, etc. The price for a product of 80 grams is 50 rubles.

Frutonian with a rabbit

Frutonyanya with rabbit is the best baby puree for complementary feeding from 6 months, when the child’s teeth begin to actively grow. Thanks to the formation of the dentition, more solid foods rich in amino acids (about 19, including essential ones) of animal origin, such as meat, can be gradually introduced into the children's diet. One-ingredient Frutonyanya with rabbit will truly become the “first meat dish” for a baby, because... The composition contains exclusively fresh rabbit meat, rice flour, refined corn oil and a drop of water to give it a rare consistency. The rabbit is well digested by the nursery digestive system. Rabbit meat belongs to the group of hypoallergenic, dietary, because... contains in a relatively small portion daily norm easily digestible proteins, minimal amounts of fat and cholesterol, which is very important for children whose muscular system and heart experience “hyperactive” growth after 4-5 months. Price for 80 gr. a jar ranges from 70-90 rubles.

Frutonyanya from apples

Everyone knows about the benefits of apples, and that is why Frutonyanya fruit puree with apples is one of the best baby purees according to mothers in terms of price-quality ratio . « Frutonyanya" consists exclusively of 100% natural applesauce with the addition of ascorbic acid, without starches and sugar. Applesauce has a significant effect on the body: it helps eliminate toxins, purify the blood, breaks down cholesterol, and also cleans the baby’s “first teeth.” Ascorbic acid accelerates the breakdown of glucose and the absorption of iron, has a beneficial effect on the liver, effectively prevents the formation of oxidants in redox processes in the body, and has a beneficial effect on coagulation, increasing blood clotting. The price for a 100-gram jar is only 25 rubles. Suitable for children from 4 months.

Gerber Broccoli only

The top brand in the ranking of baby broccoli purees is Gerber. It is prepared only from real broccoli, the mass fraction of which is 80% (the remaining 20% ​​is purified water). As everyone knows, broccoli is recommended to be consumed not only by children, but also by adults, because... the vegetable is very useful. Despite its specific taste, “fluffy” broccoli always flaunts in the world’s top healthy vegetables. Broccoli is a completely hypoallergenic product that contains a decent amount of fiber, which promotes better removal of waste from the body, and phytoncides - biologically active substances secreted by plants to suppress the growth and complete destruction of bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Thus, broccoli is used for prevention various diseases in children and adults. The product contains all the most essential vitamins, minerals, vegetable proteins. Price for 80 gr. a jar is about 35-50 rubles. Suitable for complementary feeding from 4-5 months.

Gerber Cauliflower only

This product consists of 100% natural cauliflower with the addition of water in a ratio of 6:1, does not contain sugars, soy, preservatives, GMOs or other harmful additives. Clinical researches show that cauliflower - perfect product for the first feeding: it is easily digestible, does not cause flatulence, very rarely causes allergies, promotes normal growth heart, and has a beneficial effect on the baby’s blood vessels and nervous system. Cauliflower is rich in vegetable proteins, vitamins A, C, D, E, K, PP, etc., minerals, acids (including omega-3). The price for an 80 gram portion is 35-40 rubles.

The topic of introducing complementary foods into the diet of infants is always relevant among young parents, especially those raising their first child. The opinions of doctors and experienced neighbors and parents often differ, and you still have to make a decision on your own. However, regardless of whether it is decided to introduce pureed fruits or vegetables into the baby’s diet at 4, 5 months or six months, it is equally important to choose the brand, because even the same product may cause the baby to have completely different sensations.

A baby is a small, very fragile, vulnerable and susceptible creature to the most insignificant changes for an adult eye. That is why caring mothers try to do everything in the best possible way for their little one.

You should be extremely careful when choosing food for your baby.

This statement also applies to food for the baby, especially the first complementary foods. According to the rules, it starts with one-component vegetable puree. Since children, like their parents, are all completely different, the issue of infant nutrition can be resolved in two ways:

• Cooking your own food for your baby;
• Jarred vegetable puree.

Arguments in favor of jarred puree

Cooking yourself may be better, but only when there is firm confidence that the products, in particular vegetables, do not contain elements that negatively affect the growing and actively developing children's body. Yes, it’s still quite cumbersome to grow vegetables on your plot or balcony that are recommended for baby’s first food (cauliflower, broccoli). It is much easier and more reliable to use jarred baby vegetable puree.

Are you sure that the vegetables used for homemade puree are completely safe for your baby?

It’s canned because its recipe is developed by specialists in the field of nutrition specifically for the little inhabitants of our green Planet. Scientists and nutritionists take into account a huge number of factors that influence not only proper physical “maturation” infant, but also on its mental, somatic and other important functions.

The most selected products are used as ingredients in baby purees.

Below is presented short review the most famous, high-quality and trusted brands of baby vegetable puree.

Popular domestic brands

"Frutonyanya" is a time-tested brand.

"Frutonyanya"- the most famous, sought-after, competitive domestic brand. The company produces a huge line of products for the youngest and older children. Baby vegetable puree for starting complementary feeding is presented in 4 variations (broccoli, pumpkin, cauliflower, carrots) - all this is a monocomponent food containing only the vegetable itself and water. For little ones who have mastered the first dish in their lives, the company offers 6 options for different vegetable mixes, which also do not have by-products (salt, starch). Shows concern "Frutonyani" and in the way of packaging each children's food portion: in addition to the hermetic lid, closed at the factory under pressure, the company has provided additional protection in the form of a dense polyethylene, environmentally friendly film to prevent dirt from getting under the lid of the jar. Conveniently, the film has divisions in grams (25, 50 and 75).

All Frutonyan products are tested, approved and recommended for feeding young infants by the Union of Pediatricians of Russia. The price for one 100 gram jar of vegetable puree does not exceed 28 rubles.

Larisa shares her experience of feeding her child « Frutonyanya »:

“Almost every mother tries canned food, which she gives to her young child. At the same time, her personal opinion boils down to the fact that it is impossible to eat this incomprehensible substance of a greenish or generally untrustworthy color. That’s what I thought too, until my friends (also young mothers) advised me to try vegetables from Frutonyanya. Overcoming my doubts, I bought one jar to try. Both my and the little ones’ expectations were fully justified: both the smell and taste were appetizing, so my daughter gobbled up the entire jar at once and very quickly. Now we only sit on Frutonyan.”

Economical option

"Granny's Basket"- the most affordable, but no less quality Russian brand. The company's line of one-component vegetable purees consists of:

• Cauliflower;
• Broccoli;
• Zucchini;

For older children, the company offers cod, pink salmon and salmon puree, which is extremely rare for sale from other manufacturers.

Violetta talks about her impressions of the “Babushkino Lukoshko” vegetable puree:

"At scheduled visit The latter pediatrician recommended that I start introducing complementary foods to my son. The doctor offered a choice of 2 brands: “Gerber” and “Babushkino Basket”. I couldn’t find one-component “Gerbera” in the store, so I bought a “basket,” especially since I had heard quite a lot of flattering things about this brand.

I will say that the product pleased me with its consistency, quantity, and price. I really liked that the lid opens easily. What confused me was the smell, not the most pleasant, but the child gobbled it up on both cheeks, without any whims. We've been eating it for half a month now - everything is wonderful! I recommend!”
