All about milk and dairy-free buckwheat porridge "Baby": advantages and disadvantages, how to breed, how to feed babies. Porridge "Baby": an overview of the range, reviews Characteristics of dairy-free porridge

Hello!

Today I will share my impressions about another baby porridge. This is a dairy-free porridge brand Malyutka. Before that, we have already tried buckwheat Heinz and other types of porridge. You can read about them in my profile.

Appearance of the porridge.

A convenient bag that can be hermetically closed after opening the package with a zipper.

Dry product weight: 200 grams.

Lots of packaging information from the manufacturer.

Compound.

And in the same photo, only below, the method of preparation.

You don't need to cook porridge. For preparation, it is necessary to mix the right amount of water and dry product and stir. I dilute the porridge thicker than indicated in the instructions. If you follow the cooking method, then the porridge turns out to be too liquid and the child does not eat it well. You really can’t stir the Baby with a spoon, you need to use a fork. And you need to mix well, otherwise there will be lumps. In general, she breeds more difficult and worse than Heinz, but better than rice the same manufacturer.

Consumption cannot be called economical, since a lot of dry product is required to prepare one serving of porridge. We eat the little one about twice as fast as Heinz.

This is what the finished porridge looks like.

Smell, color, taste.

The porridge clearly has the smell and taste of ordinary buckwheat. There are no foreign impurities in the taste. There is no bad aftertaste. The child eats porridge well. The color of the porridge is brown.

Side effects.

There were no problems with stools, rashes, allergic reactions and other side effects after feeding with Malyutka porridge.

Product shelf life 18 months. Once opened, the porridge can be consumed within three weeks.

Price: 91 rubles 97 kopecks. Bought in the boat.

In general, a good product, but there are some nuances. I give 4 stars and recommend to use.

Thank you for your attention!
