What are Stage 1 Baby Food?
Stage 1 baby food is used as an initial formula for the baby and can usually be introduced from the 5th to 7th month. For example, this is added daily so that the toddler’s stomach and intestinal flora get used to it. A little later after the introduction of these complementary foods, they can now be replaced with cereal porridge and milk porridge. You can make the baby food yourself at home or buy it ready-made in a pack.
Why Should You Buy a Good Stage 1 Baby Food?
Stage 1 baby foods are the best complimentary food to breast milk. With this food, children can get used to previously unknown substances such as lactose and fiber.
How to Choose the Best Stage 1 Baby Food?
Regardless of whether you choose baby food or baby milk, each type and variety has advantages and disadvantages. We would like to address some of them below.
Pureed foods: These can be from simple homemade recipes and can also be ready-made, packed like other baby foods. The pureed stage 1 baby foods include foods like fruits, single-grain cereals, and veggies. They are less-allergenic and thin.
Baby formula: Stage 1 baby formula or milk has all the necessary nutrients your child needs. They are the perfect complement if you want your child to continue to have that milky taste.
What Features Should You Consider When Buying a Stage 1 Baby Food?
Regardless of whether you opt for baby formula milk powder, pre-infant formula, or homemade pureed foods, the large selection is sometimes quite confusing. The following criteria will help you choose the best:
The mineral contents: When it comes to nutrients, the needs of a young child are slightly different from that of an adult. If you’re opting for baby milk, it should contain minerals such as iron, iodine, and calcium. The proportion of fat and carbohydrates should not be too small either. Above all, babies need a lot of fat to grow properly.
Right protein content: In a toddler, the kidneys are not fully developed until they are 18 months old. For this reason, it shouldn’t contain too much protein.
Hypoallergenic ingredients: Some babies are sensitive to some ingredients. Some foods contain cow allergens and must be avoided for babies sensitive to them. HA Stage PRE foods are the best for such babies. However, baby foods in jars do not contain any allergens and are usually purely organic products.
Sweeteners and preservatives: Choose foods that have no added sugar, salt, flavorings, or preservatives. Sugars, especially, can lead to overfeeding.
How Much Does a Top-Rated Stage 1 Baby Food Cost?
High-end stage 1 baby foods are formulated with iron and other minerals. They generally don’t often exceed $60. Affordable stage 1 baby foods cost between $30 to $40. Meanwhile, there are cheap and organic stage 1 baby foods formulated with iron, omega 3, and processed to be non-allergenic. They generally cost between $20 to $30.
Final Verdict
Stage 1 baby foods are baby formula or pureed foods that are given to babies of 4 to 6 months of age. They are the first type of baby formula and are a great complement to breastmilk. They help your baby transition from breastmilk to more solid or fibrous foods. It’s however important to ensure there are essential nutrients in the food (fat, vitamins and minerals, carbohydrates, and protein).
