Baby Feed Time is always an interesting experience. Every baby is different. Everything from what they will eat, how often or even how much. For a baby’s first 0 to 3 months we suggest that you either breastfeed or stick to baby formula.
After a few months, you can start trying things like purées or soft liquid-like food. After 6 to 10 months, it is about the recommended time to start with solid food. However these are only recommendations, it is ultimately your choice but we suggest consulting a pediatrician first.
Now, the BMR Choice Team presents: Baby Feed Time featuring the best products to help you and your baby have an awesome Baby Feed Time.
Best Formulas
If you are looking for a suitable alternative to breast milk, here’s our list of the best baby formulas to help you out. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends mothers to breastfeed babies for the first six months. However, when breastfeeding may not be possible due to medical or non-medical reasons, parents should look for baby formulas to help their child meet the daily nutrient intake. Baby formulas are designed to substitute for breast milk, containing all the essential nutrients in appropriate amounts.
Gerber Good Start GentlePro Powder Formula
GentlePro is the first and only infant formula made with a combination of prebiotics and probiotics to keep your growing baby’s tummy healthy. This formula is modeled after the complete nutrition and gentleness of breastmilk, this formula offers complete nutrition for babies up to 12 months.
