Types of milk porridges for children. When can milk porridge be introduced into a child’s diet: features of complementary feeding for infants up to one year and later. Features of porridges made from whole and normalized milk

Milk porridge is an integral part of an infant's diet, providing him with a variety of valuable nutrients contained in milk and cereals. The high calorie content of milk porridge creates a long feeling of fullness, reducing the intervals between meals. A child’s first acquaintance with cereals begins with porridge prepared in water, and only if it is well tolerated does the conversation begin about milk porridge made from similar cereals.

At what age can you give milk porridge?

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

Starting complementary feeding with milk porridges

Homemade porridge from any gluten-free cereal or industrially produced dairy-free hypoallergenic porridge made with breast milk or artificial formula that a child receives is the safest, as the possibility of food allergies is minimized. You can start giving such milk porridge as soon as the child gets used to porridge with water from one type of gluten-free cereal recommended for first feeding (buckwheat, rice, corn). For example, if a week has passed since the start of complementary feeding with buckwheat porridge, the child accepted it well, then you can try giving him buckwheat porridge with breast milk or formula. The optimal age for a child is seven months. At the beginning of complementary feeding, homemade cereals must be prepared using a mixture of milk and water, and by about eight months of age, you can stop diluting milk with water.

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

lack of mother's milk;
poor weight gain;
lack of B vitamins;
inability to feed the child with breast milk or artificial formula.

Composition and timing of introduction of milk porridges for baby food

The need to purchase milk porridge for baby food is quite controversial. After all, you can always buy or prepare dairy-free porridge with the addition of breast milk or an artificial formula 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 cereals and fruits, in order not only to please the baby with a new taste, but also to ease the effort of preparing it. By and large, if a child receives breast milk or formula and eats dairy-free cereals well, there is no need for store-bought milk cereals.

The preparation of these porridges is carried out only with 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 may include:

whole or normalized milk;
skimmed milk;
demineralized whey;
partially adapted milk formula.

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

Vegetable fats are added to porridges using an adapted mixture, including palm oil as a source of palmitic acid. If whole or normalized milk is used, no vegetable fats are added.

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

Otherwise, milk porridges differ little from dairy-free porridges. Almost all of them are enriched with additional 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.

Depending on the degree of readiness for consumption, milk porridges can be dry, requiring dilution with water, or ready-made liquid. In addition to the usual milk porridges in the traditional sense, there are variations.

A special type of very liquid porridge is welling - the traditional name of the Swedish product of the Semper brand, 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 cereals are products consisting of a mixture of fruit puree, cereals (cookies), milk and additions of honey, chocolate and other additives, which are also called desserts (“Hipp”).

Porridge with whole or normalized milk

It is clear that whole cow's milk refers to milk powder that has not been subjected to any changes. It is different from normalized milk. In the latter, the fat content is brought to a given level. Whole and normalized milk contains quite a lot of minerals, which unnecessarily loads the baby’s excretory system, and its set of proteins differs significantly from breast milk. Among these proteins, there are also allergenic proteins and therefore porridges made with whole or normalized milk are not suitable for the first feeding with milk porridges. Such porridges 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 baby food porridge with an adapted formula. As for goat's milk, in some respects it is closer to breast milk than cow's milk, but still needs additional adaptation to the needs of the child.

Attention! Despite the fact that whole cow's or goat's milk is allowed to be consumed in cereals for children under one year old, giving a child any milk other than breast milk in its pure form is not recommended.

The timing of introducing homemade cereals is similar to the timing of introducing baby food cereals made with whole milk.

Which milk porridge is the best?

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

Timing of fruit introduction depending on the child’s age

Child's age	Type of fruit
Over 4 months	Apple, pear, plum, peach, apricot.
Over 5 months	Black and red currants, raspberries, cherries, quinces, cherries, blueberries, lingonberries, cranberries, etc.
Over 6 months	Citrus fruits (tangerines, oranges, grapefruits), melon, pineapple, banana, mango, strawberries, strawberries and other potentially allergenic fruits. Honey.
Over 7 months	Papaya, kiwi, guava.
Over 9 months	Grapes, cocoa.

Porridge is an indispensable dish on the children's menu. It is a unique source of energy, plant proteins, B vitamins and various minerals. Porridge is introduced into the baby’s diet from 4 to 6 months. By this age, the baby begins to move more and expend more energy, so he needs more high-calorie food to replenish energy losses.

Usually porridge is introduced into a child’s diet after fruit and vegetable purees. However, according to individual indications, it can be introduced into the child’s diet as the first. So, it is better for low birth weight children to first introduce porridge into their diet, and then puree.

The modern food industry offers various types of cereals. They are not only easy to use, but also have a number of remarkable properties - they are enriched with vitamins, minerals, iron; easy to swallow and digest; have a delicate taste and convenient consistency. They do not contain preservatives, artificial colors, stabilizers or chemical additives. Porridges are divided into:

dairy, dairy-free;
mono- and multicomponent;
gluten-free (low-allergenic) and gluten-free;
containing various additives;
therapeutic and prophylactic.

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

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

Dairy-free cereals are prescribed to children with lactase deficiency and children with an allergy to cow's milk protein. Porridges with prebiotics contain inulin and lactulose. They are intended for children prone to constipation.

Industrially produced porridges have an advantage over homemade ones. Firstly, modern technologies make it possible to preserve vitamins in products as much as possible, making porridges healthy, varied and easy to digest. Production technologies make it possible to process vegetables and fruits without loss of beneficial properties, safely combine various important ingredients in one product, and also add all the necessary substances (vitamins, minerals) and protect the growing baby from their deficiency.

Dairy-free instant porridges are made, as a rule, based on rice, buckwheat or corn flour; they may also include fruits (bananas, apples). Such porridges do not require cooking; they can be dissolved in water, in any milk food familiar to a child, or in diluted cow’s milk. Porridges are well digestible, do not contain sugar, gluten, and are enriched with vitamins.

Buckwheat porridge is rich in vegetable proteins, valuable in amino acid composition. It is gluten-free and has maximum dietary fiber content. It contains vitamins B1, B2, E, iron salts, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. It has the highest nutritional value.

Rice porridge has a low protein content, but it is very valuable in amino acid composition. Gluten free. The richest in starch content, it is low in sugars, fats and dietary fiber. Rice is well digestible, is a dietary product, and is recommended for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (but only if the baby does not have constipation).

Corn porridge is low in protein, gluten-free, high in carbohydrates, high in dietary fiber, but low in vitamins and minerals. It is able to inhibit the processes of fermentation and putrefaction in the intestines.

Children with a tendency to constipation are first given porridges high in dietary fiber (buckwheat, corn), and after six months oatmeal is added. For babies with unstable loose stools, it is recommended to start with rice porridge and limit the consumption of buckwheat and oatmeal.

Instant milk porridges are prepared on the basis of infant formula, adapted to the needs of infant. They are enriched with essential vitamins, calcium, iron, iodine, zinc, do not contain gluten and are easily soluble in water.

The most optimal choice for preparing formulas, cereals and other dairy products for young children is organic milk. 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 milk has been artificially enriched with them, absorption is worse. The secret of organic milk is simple: it comes from cows that spend 220 days a year on organic pastures, eat grass and hay, drink clean water and breathe clean air. This milk is produced only on farms certified for the production of environmentally friendly products, under strict control. The BIO icon on the packaging will help you determine whether a dairy product is environmentally friendly.

Cereal porridges are made from specially processed cereals, as a rule, these are whole grain flakes of rice, wheat, oats, which retain all nutrients and are well digestible. 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. Such porridges are low in acid, do not contain milk protein, and are produced without added sugar, flavorings, dyes, preservatives or thickeners. And if such porridge contains environmentally friendly vegetables and fruits, then they contain 10-15% more vitamins and beneficial microelements, because such vegetables and fruits are grown in environmentally friendly conditions: on environmentally friendly 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 and a lot of dietary fiber. It contains vitamins B1, B2, PP, E, calcium salts, phosphorus, iron and magnesium. Oatmeal has high energy value. It is an excellent adsorbent of heavy metal salts, which is especially important for residents of large industrial cities.

Semolina porridge has a fairly high protein content, which has low biological value. Contains gluten, also a lot of starch and little fiber and fat.

Industrially produced milk porridges are completely ready-to-eat, prepared on the basis of a milk formula adapted to the needs of the child; the composition also includes boiled rice or semolina, fruit puree (apples, pears, apricots). Porridges are enriched with vitamins C, A, E, D, B1 and microelements.

If you wish, you can cook the porridge yourself. The requirements for homemade porridge are as follows. The porridge is boiled in water, and then 20-30 ml of breast milk or formula is added to it. You can add butter (3-5 grams) or 10% baby cream to homemade porridges. Whole milk is used in the preparation of cereals for children over one year of age. Semolina porridge can be prepared for children only after one year. Porridge from several grains can be prepared only after you have made sure that the baby is not allergic to individual components.

What about flaxseed 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 healthy), 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 most of our baby food products are Humana. Porridge in particular, because there is a wide variety and the child eats it best. Again, no allergies. I always read the ingredients 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 they 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 Humana, which was more suitable to his taste. They stayed there. And after a while, he began to eat adult porridge without any problems.

Nutrition for children in the first year of life performs several functions. The first is to give the child the substances necessary for growth and development. The second, no less relevant, is to ensure the prevention of allergic diseases or, if an allergy has already manifested itself, to minimize its manifestations by selecting low-allergenic products. And the third is to promote the skills of swallowing, chewing, and the formation of a eating routine. How to feed a child of the first year of life if he has allergies? Breast-feeding. For...

After introducing vegetable complementary foods, at the age of approximately 6 months, porridge may already appear in the child’s diet. From the moment they are introduced into the menu, they become one of the most important sources of nutrients for a growing body: proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber. The first porridges for a baby are cooked with water, formula or breast milk; cow's milk (preferably ultra-pasteurized) and cream can be added only when the child reaches one year of age. You should introduce porridge, like any new food, starting with one spoon and gradually increasing the portion. From the age of one, when the child already has enough teeth, he can easily eat almost any cereal porridge cooked in milk.

Of course, you can always buy industrially produced ready-made porridges, which are offered in abundance in modern stores and pharmacies. However, homemade porridges have a number of quite significant advantages:

You know for sure that the cereal has not undergone any pre-treatment;

Are you sure that there is no sugar in the porridge, which is not at all beneficial for the baby’s delicate body;

Seasonal vegetables and fruits in porridges will enrich the child’s body with fresh natural vitamins.

In addition, there are cases when the baby categorically refuses to eat any brand of store-bought cereal. Then the mother, willy-nilly, will have to conduct culinary experiments herself until she gets a porridge of optimal taste and composition that will completely satisfy the wishes of the tiny gourmet.

To cook milk porridges for a child over one year old, you can use cow's or goat's milk. Milk obtained in a dairy kitchen, as well as store-bought ultra-pasteurized or sterilized milk, does not need to be boiled, but pasteurized milk must be boiled for two to three minutes. It cannot be processed longer, otherwise all the beneficial substances in it will be destroyed.

Cereals suitable for cooking porridge for a baby are, first of all, and. It will also be useful, but it must be processed in a special way - gluten, which can cause allergies, is removed from corn intended for baby food. After these types of cereals, you can introduce semolina, millet, barley and pearl barley porridge.

Before cooking, any cereal, except semolina and corn, must be sorted. Buckwheat, pearl barley, millet, barley and rice will also need to be washed. To make the porridge have a more pleasant aroma and cook faster, heat the cereal before cooking in a frying pan without oil. So that milk does not lose its benefits due to prolonged processing, but the porridge can be sufficiently boiled, you should first boil it in water or diluted milk until the cereal absorbs all the liquid, and then dilute it with hot milk, boil and remove from heat.

To prevent your baby from getting bored with the boring taste, we advise you to offer him a new porridge every day of the week. An excellent option to start the week would be, for example. Use Hercules brand flakes for cooking - this is a well-established quality standard. To make the porridge more tender and easier to digest, grind the flakes using a coffee grinder. You need to add butter and sweeteners (if you think this is required) after cooking, when the porridge has cooled slightly. It is worth noting that it is better to sweeten porridge for children not with sugar, but with Jerusalem artichoke syrup, maple syrup, honey, and best of all, with fruits and berries. Oatmeal with chopped banana is especially delicious. If your baby doesn’t even like this kind of porridge, you can beat it in a blender - the resulting delicate cream will definitely be eaten in the blink of an eye.

Most kids enjoy eating milk porridges

When can you introduce milk porridge into a child’s diet?

A question for which there is no clear answer. For many housewives, the “milk porridge” dish involves the use of a certain type of cereal and milk. We often cook rice, oatmeal, and millet cereals, and not only for children. Preparing such a dish for babies is significantly different from the usual recipe.

You can cook the cereal yourself or use a ready-made mixture. Stores offer a wide selection of baby cereals that are not cooked. The variety of methods, of course, pleases, but we must not forget about the characteristics of the body of a small child.

The timing of introducing a new product into the baby’s menu depends on its composition and the baby’s reaction to the new food. Some babies are ready to eat porridge as early as six months, while others eat only mother’s milk for up to a year.

When to start feeding milk porridges?

Dear reader!
This article talks about typical ways to solve your issues, but each case is unique! If you want to know how to solve your particular problem, ask your question. It's fast and free!
Let's start the conversation with ready-made baby food products that arrive on our shelves. Today, unique recipes for gluten-free and dairy-free hypoallergenic porridges have been developed. They are based on breast milk and formula, thereby minimizing the risk of food allergies in a child. Pediatricians believe that milk porridges with these properties are ideal for feeding infants as complementary foods.
If your baby has already tried cereals cooked in water and is used to it, you can introduce milk porridge with gluten-free (buckwheat, corn, rice) cereals into his diet.

If your baby likes porridge with water, you can switch to dairy-based gluten-free porridge.
For example, your baby happily eats buckwheat with water, which means it’s time to let him try the same, but with a 1:1 mixture of milk + water. Doctors believe that when breastfeeding, this type of complementary feeding can be introduced from 8 months.
Let’s clarify a small nuance: first, prepare the dish in water. Once you reach the age of 8 months, you can partially eliminate water and cook a dairy dish (using special baby milk).
Early complementary feeding may be due to other reasons that do not depend on the wishes of the nursing mother. Porridge is added to the baby’s diet if:
little breast milk is produced;
the child is not gaining weight well;
a deficiency of B vitamins was identified;
There are reasons why it is impossible to feed the baby with breast milk or formula.

Ready-made milk porridges for baby food
To buy or not to buy a ready-made baby food product is a choice that causes justifiable controversy. Ready-made, balanced porridge that does not require long cooking helps the mother to introduce the baby to a new product and provide him with adequate complementary foods. Manufacturers are sophisticated in culinary delights, and on the shelves we see compositions with fruits and cereals, berries and vegetables. There is a temptation to buy such a dish and not bother with home cooking. However, if you breastfeed or formula feed your baby, or feed him cereals cooked in water, there is no need to take the product from the store.

If the baby is breastfed, you can also prepare porridge for him yourself
You should take into account the fact that porridge from the store, which contains milk (cow or goat), is boiled in water. The time when they can be used as complementary foods is determined by the type of milk from which they are made (more details in the article:). The methods of using them are different and are indicated on the product packaging. Manufacturers produce both liquid types of products, and those that should be diluted with water, and in a dry version.
Features of porridges made from whole and normalized milk
Let's look at the features of both types of milk. Whole milk is a dry version of unmodified cow's milk. When producing a normalized type, they resort to bringing its fat content to a certain level necessary for the child’s body.
Both types are saturated with mineral elements that can overload the baby’s excretory system. The protein content deviates from that of breast milk; they also contain allergenic proteins, and therefore pediatricians do not recommend using cereals made with these types of milk for starter feeding.
Such products are suitable for feeding 8-9 month old children. If before this age the baby’s digestion reacted negatively to new dishes, replace it with others made from a simplified mixture.
The composition of goat's milk is better correlated with the composition of mother's milk, but its absorption requires time for the child's body to adapt. If you are not lactose intolerant, you can get by with regular cow's milk.
Porridges that are prepared at home and those produced on an industrial scale are introduced at the same age.

If the baby is healthy and digests cow's milk normally, there is no need to switch to goat's milk
Since the assortment is large, we studied the properties of the products of the most popular brands that make their products using whole and normalized milk. Our detailed review will help you shop wisely and make the right choice for your baby. Pay special attention to the composition, at what age you can start using it, correlate this with your needs.

Semolina milk porridge

Semolina itself is not rich in many vitamins. But it contains useful fiber, which is very easily absorbed by the body. Semolina also helps strengthen bones and teeth very well. Because it contains calcium. In general, the benefits are obvious. And I don’t see any obstacles to not making semolina porridge for breakfast. Moreover, in my opinion, this is the simplest porridge in the world, which takes record time to prepare.

There is only one thing. Semolina burns very quickly to the walls of the pan. So to cook it you need to take dishes with a non-stick coating or at least with thick walls. Otherwise, be prepared to wash the pan after semolina.

Ingredients:

1 glass of milk.
3 tablespoons of semolina.
30-40 grams of butter.
Salt and sugar to taste.

Cooking process:

The recipe is very simple and the porridge turns out without lumps.

1. Before preparing semolina porridge, my grandmother always wet the pan with cold water and only then poured milk into it. She said that this way the milk and cereal would not burn to the walls.

2.And then rinse the pan with water. Pour milk into it and put it on the stove.

3. A glass of milk will boil very quickly, so you shouldn’t go far.

4. While the milk is boiling, you can add salt and sugar, stir and wait until the milk starts to boil. It will just start, not already boil.

5. At this moment, we begin to gradually add the cereal. To prevent the semolina from forming into lumps. Sprinkle the cereal in a thin stream and continuously stir the milk. It is very convenient to do this with a whisk.

6.And so the cereal in the milk remains a little, literally 2-3 minutes, boil the porridge and it is completely ready.

7.When cooked, semolina swells quickly and it may turn out that there will be a lot of cereal and the porridge will become thick almost immediately. It's not scary. Turn off the heat, cover with a lid and leave the semolina for 3-4 minutes; the porridge will come to readiness on its own.

8. Before serving, add a piece of butter to the still hot porridge, stir, and you can serve the porridge.

9.You can also always add raisins or finely chopped prunes to milk porridge before serving.
