Opinions on when to begin to acquaint the child with new products, at everyone the. Therefore before getting jars with the first baby food, it is worth learning the main points of view about timeliness of the beginning of a feeding up.
Opinions of producers of baby food
It is possible to call this point of view with confidence the earliest as on many jars and boxes with baby food there is a mark that these products are intended for children of three months. Producers can be understood: what earlier parents will begin to feed the child with the food adapted for his age, that big profit will be got by the companies realizing it. Here only that so vegetable purees, porridges and juice after three months are necessary for the child there are certain doubts how many useful properties to them would not be attributed.
Many producers found a fine way out of this situation, reflecting in packing also that circumstance that it is necessary to enter a feeding up into a diet after consultation with the pediatrician observing the child.
When to begin a feeding up at natural feeding
On WHO opinion mother's milk completely provides all needs of the child for the first half a year of life therefore during this period the child does not need a dokarmlivaniye or a dopaivaniye. If after all there is a wish to treat the kid with something new before achievement of this age, first of all it is necessary to consult with the pediatrician though a number of doctors still has recommendations of introduction of drops of juice after three months and the simultaneous beginning of a feeding up. So all responsibility for making decision on the beginning of a feeding up all the same falls on parents.
When to enter a feeding up at artificial feeding

Therefore it is conditional to the children who are on artificial feeding it is possible to enter a feeding up into the same half a year, as to the kids eating mom's milk. But it does not mean that it is necessary to wait for this term as first of all it is necessary to be guided by behavior of the child on which it is possible to understand whether really it so needs a feeding up or more he interests parents.
But also in this case too it is not necessary to hurry and begin since three months because premature the beginnings of a feeding up can entail problems with digestion and allergic reactions.
