There is a traditional scheme of nutrition for a baby, which is based on different types of special puree. First, there is a vegetable mixture, then fruit and meat, and only after that, fish. When the baby turns one year old, he begins to eat baby food, which consists of many components.
The first product of complementary food should be a vegetable mixture. Some parents do not trust manufacturers of baby food and make it themselves from vegetables purchased at the market or in the supermarket. However, they very rarely manage to properly chop products and observe sterility. Therefore, it is much more profitable and healthier to buy commercially produced baby formula.
