Cereals in the diet of a child occupy an important place, because they are a source of not only carbohydrates, but also plant proteins, minerals and vitamins. And if adults often do not perceive porridge as a complete dish, then for younger babies the presence of porridge in the diet is necessary. Moreover, as a separate meal and preferably daily.

Buckwheat, semolina, oatmeal, rice, corn, barley ... What is more useful for the baby? ..

Let's figure it out.

Firstly, it is worth saying that recently, when introducing cereals into the child’s diet, pediatricians advise to pay attention to the content or, conversely, the absence of gluten in cereals. Gluten is found in cereals such as wheat, rye, oats, millet, barley. Gluten (or gluten) has the peculiarity of becoming sticky when mixed with water, trapping air bubbles and forming a paste like a paste, therefore, gluten-free cereals with children with digestive problems or with a tendency to allergies should be given with caution and only after a year. In addition, gluten can provoke a serious illness - celiac disease, expressed as a serious digestive disorder. Pediatricians do not recommend gluten-containing cereals for children up to 10 months (and sometimes even up to 1 year old), and after reaching this age, they should be administered with caution and fed the baby no more than 2-3 times a week. Gluten-free cereals can be introduced into a child’s diet from the age of 6-8 months, they are hypoallergenic and more easily absorbed by your child’s digestive system.

Secondly, each cereal in its own way is useful and rich in some separate vitamins and minerals:

Buckwheat.  Buckwheat porridge rightfully occupies one of the leading positions among cereals in terms of usefulness. Among the remaining cereals, it compares favorably with the highest content of proteins, fats, minerals and amino acids, and at the same time low in carbohydrates. Minerals in buckwheat (iodine, calcium, phosphorus) are very well absorbed by the body. Buckwheat has a positive effect on the functioning of the liver and intestines. Buckwheat porridge is often recommended as the first porridge of a baby starting from 6 months of age. From buckwheat, you can cook not only porridge, but also casserole or buckwheat cakes.

Oatmeal. Oatmeal shares with buckwheat the first place in usefulness: it contains a high content of vitamins (groups B, PP, C), as well as trace elements (iron, phosphorus, magnesium), vegetable protein and carbohydrates. In addition, a significant fiber content in oatmeal has a beneficial effect on intestinal motor function. Oatmeal is beloved for its usefulness by both pediatricians and parents, but it contains gluten, and it should be administered with caution. Apart from traditional cereal, you can also make jelly from oatmeal, add it to meatballs, soups, casseroles.

Fig.. Rice, like buckwheat, does not contain gluten and is very good at the beginning of the introduction of "porridge" complementary foods. It is very easy to digest and assimilate, therefore it is widely used for children with digestive problems. However, the “fixing” property of rice porridge is also known; therefore, it is not recommended for children with a tendency to constipation. Rice is not particularly rich in vitamins and minerals, only the content of vitamin E and some B vitamins can be noted. But rice is rich in carbohydrates and is great for diet foods. It is possible to cook a child with rice cereal and fruit pilaf, and hedgehog cutlets, and casseroles.

Corn.  Although corn grits cannot boast of special vitamin-mineral value (B vitamins, provitamin A), it contains a lot of selenium. Selenium increases resistance to adverse environmental conditions and viruses, it normalizes the functioning of the heart and blood vessels. In addition to the content of selenium, it can be noted that corn is rightfully considered one of the most hypoallergenic cereals, since it does not contain gluten and is easily digested. Along with buckwheat and rice, it is increasingly recommended as the first porridge for the baby. From corn grits you can cook not only cereals, but also casseroles, pancakes, tortillas.

Manka.In Soviet times, semolina porridge was the most used in baby food, but now it is not held in high esteem by pediatricians. Firstly, it contains gluten, secondly, semolina in fact - it is very finely chopped wheat, not rich in vitamins and minerals, thirdly, the phytin contained in semolina reduces the absorption of calcium and vitamin D. But semolina porridge gives a good increase in weight, so it will help small children to gain the missing kilograms. It is better to introduce it into the child’s diet after a year. If your child does not like semolina porridge, then you can easily do without it in the diet. In addition to directly porridge from semolina, puddings, casseroles, mannits are well obtained.

Barley (and barley groats).  Barley and barley groats, although it contains vitamins of groups B, A, E, fiber, vegetable protein, carbohydrates, but in small quantities. The main wealth of pearl barley can be considered phosphorus, the content of which is greater than in most other cereals. It is possible to include pearl barley in the child’s menu, but even after a long cooking it remains a little harsh, since most of the starch contained in it goes into the water.

Offer your child porridge every day, because it is not only tasty, but also very useful!

Porridge has a special place in the diet of young children, so any mother should know at what age it is worth starting to feed the baby with cereals, what cereals to choose for them and how to cook this dish from cereals for babies.

  • Oatmeal  It has a high nutritional value, a high content of proteins, vegetable fats, magnesium and other minerals. Its use improves peristalsis, so it is indicated for babies with constipation.

  • In millet, pearl barley and barley groats  there is a lot of fiber, B vitamins and proteins.

At what age is better to give?

Opinion of E. Komarovsky

A well-known doctor considers the optimal age for the introduction of porridge 7 months in the children's menu. He advises to introduce the baby to porridge after introducing sour-milk complementary foods into the diet. Komarovsky recommends giving porridge in the last day feeding, which is carried out before bedtime.

Entry into the diet

Like all other foods that feed babies, porridge begins to be given with a small portion - one spoonful. Gradually, the volume of porridge in the menu of the peanut is brought to the age appropriate for it - 100-200 g. The first child is made gluten-free cereals, which include buckwheat, rice and corn.

First, the baby should get used to the monocomponent porridge, and then you can offer the child and dishes from several cereals. By mixing several cereals, you will enrich the finished product with useful substances. Also, in cereals, you can add different types of vegetables and fruits. Oil in porridge is added in an amount of 3 to 5 grams.


   After the baby gets used to one porridge, offer him another or mix with the already familiar

In what form can I give?

The cereals offered by the baby can be milk-free and milk-free. In addition, they can be represented by a product of industrial production (cereals from boxes) or prepared by mom from cereals.

For breeding ready-made cereal for the first samples, use infant formula or breast milk.If the acquired porridge is milk, you just need to add water to it according to the instructions.

Homemade recipes

Up to a year, cereal for porridge is crushed into flour, and for children over one year old, they start cooking liquid cereals from whole cereals.The first milk porridge is recommended to be boiled in milk diluted in half, and if it is well tolerated, after a few weeks you can start to cook the porridge in whole milk.

To prepare the first porridge for the baby, take 5 grams of flour (one teaspoon) and 100 ml of water (you can also use a vegetable decoction). Rice or buckwheat flour should be immersed in cold water, and from oatmeal - in hot. Constantly stirring, cook the porridge for about 30 minutes. In the finished porridge, you can add breast milk or a mixture familiar to the baby in an amount of 15 to 30 ml.

In the next video, Dr. Komarovsky talks about whether to buy ready-made baby food.

According to nutritionists, buckwheat porridge for a child is an absolute champion in nutritional properties and the most useful of all cereals. It is not surprising that buckwheat becomes one of the first lures of babies. What did she deserve it for?

Buckwheat in this regard is an ideal porridge, since:

  • has great nutritional value;
  • does not contain gluten, which provokes allergic reactions;
  • easily absorbed by the body;
  • increases the level of hemoglobin in the blood, so it is recommended for children suffering;
  • fiber, coupled with fruit acids, improves digestion, facilitates the absorption of nutrients, protects against constipation and other intestinal disorders;
  • in buckwheat there are a lot of vitamins such as B1 (thiamine), PP (nicotinic acid), B2 (riboflavin), E (tocopherol);
  • flavonoids, in particular rutin, strengthen blood vessels, improve blood coagulation, promote the accumulation of vitamin C in the body, which strengthens the immune system;
  • iron and copper are involved in the formation of hemoglobin and blood formation;
  • calcium and phosphorus form bone tissue;
  • heart needs magnesium.

This spectrum of action of buckwheat porridge on a child’s body makes it just an invaluable dish in the diet of babies. But when can you give buckwheat to your child - at what age?

Store-bought mixtures of industrial production can be given as early as 5 months. Self-cooked dairy, but still with crushed cereals, you can try from 8 months of age. Ordinary buckwheat porridge, whole grain, is allowed to be given after a year, but on condition that it is well boiled.

Firstly, because buckwheat, due to its taste, goes well with many products. So, in buckwheat groats, you can add nuts, and dried fruits, and aromatic herbs, and other fillings and toppings. As a result, each of these casseroles will have its own original aroma and taste. And secondly, for the reason that buckwheat is one of the most useful and exceeds other cereals in terms of the content of vitamins and minerals. Thanks to the complex of biologically active components that make up its composition, its use has a positive effect on the state of blood vessels, blood circulation, cholesterol and overall health.

Sweet groats

We bring to your attention two recipes for making buckwheat groats: the first is classic, time-tested, the second is using some additional ingredients that make the dish more nutritious and satisfying.

Classic recipe

So, for cooking traditional buckwheat groats with cottage cheese, you will need:

  • 180 g cereals;
  • 300 g of cottage cheese;
  • a couple of tablespoons of granulated sugar;
  • 45 g butter;
  • a pair of eggs;
  • a pinch of salt.

We sort out buckwheat, rinse, fill with water and bring to a boil. With the appearance of bubbles, we reduce the gas supply and cook buckwheat for about a quarter of an hour. Turn off the fire, cover the pan with a lid and leave the porridge for 20 minutes before swelling.

We drive the eggs into the container, add a small pinch of salt, sugar and mix.

On a note! If you beat the eggs with a whisk or a blender, then at the exit you will get a more delicate and magnificent lump!

Add cottage cheese to the egg mass and knead well.

On a note! In this recipe you can even use a slightly grounded cottage cheese, which is left in the refrigerator!

Pour the finished buckwheat porridge and carefully use the spatula to combine it with the rest of the ingredients. As a result, you should get a slightly liquidish and at the same time moderately viscous dough.

We heat the oven to a temperature of 200 °. Lubricate the baking dish with half a portion of butter and pour the mass into it. We put in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. Five minutes before readiness, put the remaining butter on the cereal - it will give a beautiful glossy crust.

Coconut

In order to cook coconut groats from buckwheat you will need:

  • a glass of cereal;
  • 2 eggs;
  • one and a half glasses of boiling water;
  • 250 g of cottage cheese;

  • ¼ packs of butter;
  • 50-60 ml of sour cream;
  • a bag of coconut flakes;
  • a pinch of salt;
  • fruit or berry puree and almond petals for decoration.

Buckwheat thoroughly washed in several waters, pour boiling water, let it boil for about five minutes, then remove from the stove and leave for about half an hour. The cereal should completely swell. After it becomes completely ready, drain the remaining liquid, and transfer the porridge to a bowl. Add a tablespoon of butter and leave for a quarter of an hour to make the buckwheat cool a little.

We put cottage cheese, sugar and salt to the cooled cereal. Mix. Beat the eggs separately and add to the dough. We put coconut flakes and once again we thoroughly knead everything.

Preheat the oven to 200 °. Grease the refractory form with butter (1 tablespoon) and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. We spread the dough and send to bake for about 30 minutes. Five minutes before cooking, grease the casserole with the remaining butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

Slices of garlic finely chopped with a knife. Wash fresh greens thoroughly, shake off water and shred. Combine the cottage cheese with sour cream, add buckwheat porridge, stir in chopped herbs, garlic, eggs, grated cheese and mix everything.
