Food And Formula 

Things you should know about Kids Food and Formula

When a mother makes the choice to feed formula to her baby, supplement the breast milk with formula or completely switch from breast milk to formula, she always has questions regarding the right baby formula to purchase, how to prepare formula and what is the best formula dispenser to use, just to mention a few. When looking for reputable and kids-friendly products, brands like Bornfree and Green Sprouts are at the top of the list.

When is the Right Time to Introduce Solid Foods to a Baby?

In the past, many parents introduced their babies to solid foods when they were still very small. However, medical experts are advising modern day mothers to wait until babies are four to six months before introducing solid foods. This is because feeding solid food to children while they are still very young increases their chances of developing food allergies.

Water and other types of kid food are important in a baby’s first six months. Breast milk or formula provides the nutrients a baby requires until they are ready to start eating solid foods. Giving a baby or infant juice is not allowed until they are ready for solid foods. A mother needs to pay attention for signs of solid food readiness which include the baby having head control, being interested in other people’s food or losing the tongue thrusting reflex.

When a parent introduces their baby to solid food, they need to start with soft foods such as rice, vegetables and fruits. Products from Green Sprouts can help you be more organized when traveling or just strolling in the park with your little one. Reusable snack bags are perfect for small food portions and they are so easy to clean.

One of the important things to keep in mind is that you should not add any cereals to the baby’s formula dispenser unless a doctor advises. This is because it can choke the baby and even make them overweight. Never put the baby to bed with a bottle because not only can it lead to choking but also increases the risk of cavities.

Which are the Best Formula Dispensers for a Baby?

Nowadays many parents have embraced the use of formula dispensers. Formula dispensers come in handy when travelling with the baby and help to carry formula and cereals in a perfect way without causing any mess. A formula dispenser holds several premeasured servings of powdered formula and comes with a mixing spoon. Many parents always get confused when looking for the best dispenser to purchase because there are a lot of models and manufactures to choose from. Using Green Sprouts and Bornfree formula dispensers is a great idea because they are a favorite for many mothers. These dispensers are easy to clean, can be used when traveling and at home, hold a good volume of formula feeds or milk and have non-toxic BPA & PVC child friendly plastic.
