Preparation of baby food with their own hands

Good nutrition or lack of it can affect the health and behavior of your child. It is worth spending a couple of hours a week preparing food for your child. You know what it's made of, and you can cook it at the order of a child of such consistency and taste as he likes. Before the impressionable taste buds of the child are spoiled by too sweet and salty products purchased, accustom your child to the natural taste of freshly prepared dishes. In addition, fresh food tastes better.

Healthy cooking

Before you serve fruits or vegetables on a table or boil them, rinse them thoroughly. Scratch them with a brush for vegetables. Trim the fibrous parts and the stiff ends. Cut out the damaged areas, remove the peel, remove the seeds and everything the child can choke. Cut off excess fat from meat and poultry.

When cooking fruits and vegetables for steaming, more vitamins and minerals are retained than when cooking in water. Return some of the lost nutrients to the products, pouring a little liquid left over after steaming, or use this liquid to make soups and sauces. In addition to
