Milk porridge is an essential part of the infant's diet, which provides a variety of valuable nutrients from milk and cereals. The high calorie content of milk porridge creates a long feeling of fullness by reducing the intervals between meals. The child's first acquaintance with cereals begins with porridge cooked in water, and only if it is well tolerated does it come to speak of milk porridge made from similar cereals.

At what age can milk porridge be given

In order to figure out when it is possible to give milk porridge, it is necessary to turn to what is meant by this seemingly simple name. In the traditional sense, milk porridge refers most often to porridge cooked with cow's milk. When it comes to porridge for an infant, it can be porridge cooked in breast milk, artificial mixture and dry or liquid milk porridge for baby food that does not require cooking. All these cereals can be completely differently perceived by the child's body, therefore the answer to the question about the timing of their introduction is ambiguous and depends on the composition.

Starting feeding with milk porridge

Homemade porridge made from any gluten-free cereals or dairy-free hypoallergenic porridge of industrial production on breast milk or artificial formula that the child receives is the safest, since the possibility of food allergies is minimized. Such milk porridge can be given as soon as the child gets used to porridge in water from one type of gluten-free cereal recommended for the first feeding (buckwheat, rice, corn). For example, if a week has passed since the beginning of feeding with buckwheat porridge, the child has taken it well, then you can try to give him buckwheat porridge in breast milk or formula. The optimal age is considered to be the age of seven months. Homemade cereals at the beginning of complementary feeding must be prepared using a mixture of milk and water, and by about eight months of age, you can refuse to dilute milk with water.

Along with the mother's desire, there are also well-founded reasons for the earlier introduction of milk porridge:

• lack of breast milk;
• poor weight gain;
• lack of B vitamins;
• the inability to feed the baby with breast milk or artificial formula.

The composition and timing of the introduction of milk cereals for baby food

The need to buy milk porridge for baby food is controversial. After all, you can always buy or prepare dairy-free porridge with the addition of breast milk or an artificial mixture to which the baby is accustomed. On the other hand, the choice is usually small and there is always a temptation to buy milk porridge with a variety of cereal and fruit composition, in order not only to please the baby with a new taste, but also to facilitate the efforts to prepare it. By and large, if a child receives breast milk or an artificial formula, eats dairy-free cereals well, there is no need for purchased milk cereals.

The preparation of these cereals is carried out only on water, since milk (cow or goat and products based on them) has already been added by the manufacturer. The timing of the introduction of such cereals largely depends not only on the type of cereal, but also on the type of dairy product in its composition. These can be:

• whole or standardized milk;
• skimmed milk;
• demineralized milk whey;
• partially adapted milk mixture.

In addition to milk, cream is sometimes added to the porridge, which additionally increases its calorie content.

Vegetable fats are added to cereals based on an adapted mixture, including palm oil as a source of palmitic acid. If whole milk or standardized milk is used, no vegetable fats are added.

Milk porridge can be additionally sweetened by adding sugars. The addition of honey, sugar, glucose and fructose to milk porridge is limited and, according to the recommendations of the European Nutrition Committee, should not exceed 5 g / 100 calories for sugar, honey and glucose, and 2.5 g / 100 kcal for fructose.

For the rest, milk porridges differ little from dairy-free cereals. Almost all of them are enriched with additional supplements of vitamins and minerals necessary for the child. Many cereals contain the addition of probiotics (beneficial microorganisms) and prebiotics (dietary fiber), which normalize the intestinal microflora.

According to the degree of readiness for use, milk porridge can be dry, requiring dilution with water or ready-made liquid. In addition to the traditional milk cereals, there are variations of them.

Welling is a special kind of very liquid porridge - the traditional name for the Swedish product of the Semper trade mark, made from a mixture of grain and milk intended for bottle feeding. Similar products from other manufacturers are also called porridge. Most often, wellings are recommended for evening and morning feedings. They are made on the basis of dairy products (skimmed milk powder, whey, cream) with the addition of vegetable oils, starch, minerals and vitamins.

Another type of ready-made milk porridge is a product consisting of a mixture of fruit purees, cereals (biscuits), milk and additives of honey, chocolate and other additives, also called desserts ("hipp").

Porridge with whole or standardized milk

It is understood that whole cow's milk means dry milk that has not undergone any changes. It differs from standardized milk. In the latter, the fat content is brought to a predetermined level. Whole and normalized milk contains quite a lot of minerals, which unnecessarily loads the child's excretory system, and the set of its proteins differs significantly from breast milk. Among these proteins, there are also allergenic proteins, and therefore cereals with whole or normalized milk are not suitable for the first feeding with milk cereals. Such cereals must be approached very carefully, it is better to postpone their intake until the child is 8-9 months old, and if necessary, give preference to porridge for baby food on an adapted mixture. As for goat's milk, in some respects it is closer to breast milk than cow's milk, but it still needs additional adaptation to the needs of the child.

Attention! Despite the fact that whole cow or goat milk is allowed to be consumed as part of cereals for children under one year old, it is not recommended to give a child any milk other than pure breast milk.

The timing of the introduction of home-made cereals is similar to the timing of the introduction of cereals for baby food with whole milk.

What is the best milk porridge

1. Despite the fact that many manufacturers recommend the introduction of gluten-free milk cereals, starting at 4 months, do not rush to buy them and give them to the child in accordance with the recommended age. Remember that the first complementary food begins with a hypoallergenic dairy-free porridge cooked on the formula that the child receives or on breast milk.
2. The most preferred option among cereals for baby food in a package is porridge with the addition of a partially adapted milk formula or demineralized milk whey, since in this case the adaptation is based on both the fat and protein components of milk.
3. It is not recommended to give milk porridges with fruit fillings to the child until complementary foods from this type of fruit are introduced in pure form (puree or juice). Recommendations for the introduction of fruits, depending on the age of the child, can be found in the table below.
4. For an artificial child, choose milk porridge from the same manufacturer as the formula the child receives.
5. Milk porridge must always be freshly prepared, which will prevent harmful microflora from multiplying in it.

The timing of the introduction of fruits, depending on the age of the child

Child's age	Fruit type
Older than 4 months	Apple, pear, plum, peach, apricot.

• containing various additives;
• therapeutic and prophylactic.

It is recommended to introduce dairy-free gluten-free cereals as the first complementary food. These include rice, buckwheat and corn. Provided that the baby tolerates these types of cereals well, you can switch to milk porridges and cereals with various additives. Milk porridges are made on the basis of, they are high in calories and are intended for the nutrition of healthy children. Porridge with fruit and vegetable additives stimulate the intestines, they are introduced into the diet from 6-7 months. From 9-11 months, you can introduce into the baby's diet porridge made from whole-grain cereals, specially designed for baby food.

There are a number of medicinal cereals designed for children with certain problems. Low-allergenic cereals are prepared on the basis of one type of cereal, do not contain gluten, fruit fillers, fructose and are intended for children with allergies.

Dairy-free cereals are prescribed for children with lactase deficiency and children with cow's milk protein allergy. Porridge with prebiotics contains inulin and lactulose. They are intended for children with a tendency to constipation.

Commercial porridges have an advantage over home-made ones. Firstly, modern technologies make it possible to preserve vitamins in products as much as possible, to make cereals useful, varied and easy to digest. Production technologies allow to process vegetables and fruits without loss of useful properties, safely combine various important ingredients in one product, as well as add all the necessary substances (vitamins, minerals) and protect the growing baby from their lack.

Such cereals do not require boiling, they can be dissolved in water, in any milk diet, familiar to a child, in diluted cow's milk. Porridge is well digested, does not contain sugar, gluten, and is enriched with vitamins.

Children with a tendency to constipation are first introduced to cereals with a high content of dietary fiber (buckwheat, corn), and after six months, oatmeal is added. Babies with unstable loose stools are advised to start with rice porridge and limit the use of buckwheat and oatmeal.

Instant milk porridge prepared on the basis of infant milk formula, adapted to the needs infant... They are enriched with essential vitamins, calcium, iron, iodine, zinc, gluten-free and easily soluble in water.

Organic milk is the most optimal for preparing mixtures, cereals and other dairy products for young children. It has several important advantages: it has a naturally balanced composition and contains up to 3-4 times more polyunsaturated fatty acids, which play an important role in the formation of the brain and retina, cell functioning and strengthening the immune system. They are best absorbed when found naturally in milk. If the milk was artificially fortified with them, assimilation is worse. The secret of organic milk is simple: it is produced by cows who spend 220 days a year on ecologically clean pastures, feed on grass and hay, drink clean water and breathe clean air. Such milk is produced only on farms certified for the production of environmentally friendly products, under strict control. The BIO badge on the packaging will help you determine if a dairy product is environmentally friendly.

Cereal cereals are made from specially processed cereals, as a rule, these are cereals from whole grains of rice, wheat, oats, which retain all the nutrients and are well absorbed. The composition also includes fruits (apples, peaches, banana, mango), as well as fruit juices (for example, apple or orange) and water, which makes the porridge completely ready to eat. These cereals are low in acid, do not contain milk protein, and are produced without added sugar, flavorings, colors, preservatives or thickeners. And if the composition of such porridge includes environmentally friendly vegetables and fruits, then they contain 10-15% more vitamins and useful microelements, because such vegetables and fruits are grown in ecologically clean conditions: on ecologically clean lands, without the use of artificial fertilizers and only traditional methods.

Oatmeal is rich not only in valuable vegetable proteins, but also has a high content of vegetable fats. It contains gluten, a lot of dietary fiber. It contains vitamins B1, B2, PP, E, calcium, phosphorus, iron and magnesium salts. Oatmeal has a high energy value.

Discussion

But what about LINSEED porridge? We are 5 months old. We eat buckwheat, rice and rolled oats in water with fruit ... I want to try flaxseed (they say it's very useful), but I don't know if it's possible (I can't find anything on the Internet). Maybe someone knows?

Somehow it so happened that we have the majority of baby food - Humana. Porridge especially, because the variety is large and the child eats it best. Allergies, again, no. I always read the composition very carefully, especially when it comes to baby food. My children didn’t eat homemade porridge for a long time: not because I was lazy, but because I didn’t want to. They really didn’t want to - right up to the gag reflex :-) Then I went to a large store, re-read all the annotations on all the packs and chose several dairy-free ones for the first tasting. And the child chose for himself the more suitable for his taste Humana. They stayed on it. And after a while, he began to eat adult porridge without any problems.
