Cerelac vs Homemade Instant Mix
Should we give cerelac to our babies? It’s a big question! We as mothers struggle to get ready to eat food for our babies and toddlers while on travel or out from home. If we even prepare food from home and carry, either it’s not hot or may not hold that taste sometime later. But do we have any alternative?
We try preparing cereals for our kids but again doing it on regularly basis is still a task with so many other chores with baby. And of course if you are a working mom, then it’s definitely a big challenge. While Cerelac is convenient, however there are issues associated with them for mothers:
- Nutrient Content: While these cereals are fortified with essential nutrients, they might not provide all the nutritional elements that babies need. It's important to ensure that the baby's diet includes a variety of foods to meet their nutritional requirements.
- Added Sugar: Some commercial baby cereals may contain added sugars. It's essential to choose options with no added sugar, as sugar consumption in infancy can lead to health issues later in life.
- Processing: Baby cereals are processed to have a long shelf life and quick preparation. However, this processing can sometimes lead to a loss of nutritional value compared to homemade options.
- Allergens: Some babies may have allergies or sensitivities to ingredients commonly found in baby cereals. It's important to introduce new foods one at a time to monitor for any allergic reactions.
- Digestive Issues: Some babies may have difficulty digesting certain ingredients in baby cereals, leading to issues such as constipation or discomfort.
- Ingredients used: If you see ingredients in any readymade Cerelac, it still has sugar and other active agents for longer shelf life.
Homemade cereal can be a nutritious alternative to baby cereals. Making your own baby cereal allows you to have control over the ingredients and ensures that your baby receives wholesome, natural nutrients. But again, question remains the same. How?
