Frozen: advantages and disadvantages


With the arrival of baby food you buy deserve closer scrutiny than usual. This is particularly the case of frozen: when to use them to feed your child?

Benefits

They preserve the nutritional qualities of foods
This is especially true for products of the vegetable garden. Generally conditioned on the place of production, often better preserve frozen foods and vitamins that fresh fruits and vegetables, which lost in transport, on supermarket shelves and in the fridge.

They can be used from the fourth month
The frozen vegetables can be used to compose your purees in the early stages of diversification of feeding your baby. You just have to choose them without salt or fat, which is generally the case for fresh vegetables. Prefer them anyway to preserves, which are invariably too salty.



Disadvantages

They are not subject to specific legislation for children's products
So be careful and consider what a baby can eat or not depending on his age. No initiative without talking to the pediatrician!
They apply only to commodities (vegetables, fish)
The frozen prepared dishes are usually stuffed with additives (sugars, fats) strongly discouraged for the child. In short: frozen spinach to make a puree, yes, frozen French fries, no!
