If you decide to go the make it yourself way then just make sure you use the best ingredients so that baby is not going without those vital nutrients.

Feeding baby has never been easier – or perhpas more expensive but that goes with territory – nobody says that having a baby is going to be cheap!

If you are still at the milk stage then you again will be spoilt for choice out there as there are so many manufacturers out there for you to choose from – just let your baby decide, they will soon let you know if they are happy or not with their food and milk. Don’t forget to give them fruit juice with plenty of water at this time of the year to. Babies need more than just milk!

Once you bring baby home from the hospital if you can it is advisable, as we are sure you have already been told by everyone that you should breastfeed your baby, if you can. This is not for everyone. Due to health reasons, or maybe that you simply do not feel comfortable with it.

If you do not breastfeed then you will need to put your baby on one of the many milks available on the market now. This will make sure baby is getting all it’s vitamins and minerals as it should be.

Do not forget to give them juice as well. People sometimes forget this – they need water as well as milk ( millk turns in the stomach more to a food so they need water – as we all do ).

Then once they get around the 4 months mark you need to start introducing solids. There are tons of brands about – or you can make your own. There is organic products or ordinary and so many manufacturers now have their products in the supermarkets that you should soon begin to settle down to what baby does and doesn’t like.

Try to include fruity puddings – you need to try and get as varied a diet as possible for baby – as early in life that you can.

This way they are sure to be getting their vitamins and minerals without you worrying.

During this time they will start teething! Urg this is a horrible stage, so remember to keep something in the cupboard like rusks so they have something to gnash on when they feel the need. Remember at this stage they will be techy……. and we mean this not lightly!

By the time they are walking and talking eating should be all sorted out, and you will have a complete rundown on their likes and dislikes.

You cannot do anything wrong in the early stages, so don’t worry. If baby doesn’t like something fine – try another product instead, you will find out what they like and not like in know time so don’t fret.

Now that it looks like we are really going head on into the better weather we can all look forward to getting out and about more. This is especially good news when you have little ones.

The Summertime is the perfect time if baby is old enough to start and introduce some seasonal fruit either in juice form or actual fruit itself to eat. When you go out why not take a picknick along with you. That way you can keep the cost down, and you will know that baby is eating healhily as you were the one that prepared and packed it.

Pick up fruit at cheap prices as and when it is in season at your local supermarket or greengrocers, wherever you normally pick up your fruit and veg from.

This is something that all the family can enjoy during the summer months, as salads come back into favour as well.

We can all enjoy fresh fruit and vegetables more in the summer months which is healthy and good news for all the family!

All the major brands like Cow and Cate and Heinz etc. do these sort of products, so no matter where you shop or how you shop you are bound to be able to make sure that all the family as well as baby eats a little bit better than they did during the Winter months.

Also remember to step up  your intake of water.

Your Babies Nutrition

We do not know if you have read in the news lately that most babies are not getting enough iron in their diet. Obviously it goes without saying that babies and children need their vitamins and minerals as they are growing up and all of their vital bones and teeth etc. are developing.

These are the sort of things that mums and dads must concentrate on – health and safety first and foremost. There are lots of products on the market today to help you out and make sure that your little one’s diet is spot on, not like it was years ago.

Just giving a baby a bottle of milk will not do – they need juice, and water and lots more than just the milk!

If you are unsure on what to do – ask your doctor or midwife, or nurse at your medical centre practice. Or if you prefer you buy a book on the subject, or go online and have a really good look around – there is so much information out there now for you – and it is all FREE.

Ask friends or relatives – there is always some-one or someway to give you the answers to any questions you have – lets face it no new parents are going to know and understand about every aspect of babies and children even when you have had one it is different the secon time around. So ask people – go on line, go to the library but please make sure that you have done your research and your babies health is being looked after to the best ability that you can!
