DISCLAIMER: as a follower comments Madres Hoy, it is completely incorrect (nutritionally speaking) to incorporate sugar and butter into a dessert for young babies. We advise against accustoming children to very sweet or very salty flavors. The writing team that deals with the content currently, is not responsible for this article.
Hello, I would like to know how to make a grape compote
Sugar should not be added to the porridge for nothing in the world since fruits have fructose, which is the sugar they bring, and much less for babies as young as 4 months
And if I want to add sugar, who is stopping me, YOU?
illiterate ...
Well, I just started giving my baby applesauce, but if I put sugar on it because I felt that the apples were tasteless, would it be bad if I added sugar to the compote?
Well, I have seen these recipes and there is no need to add sugar, at least not in excess, the sugar caused severe diarrhea in my baby, apart from that the teeth tend more to present cavities, I would beg you to please delete these recipes, why can you have its consequences, my baby got so sick from the sugar that he now has anemia and almost died. And the breasts, not all nutritious foods are tasty but if we eat them without a doubt our little ones will eat them, to the apple sauce for example, just add a teaspoon of sugar, the apple is sweet and babies like it better if they add cornstarch. all this in a cup of water. There is no soda for them or us. Everything natural.
no sugar
One of the characteristics that complementary feeding should have is that the preparations offered to babies should not have added sugar or salt. On the other hand, prolonged cooking of fruits implies a great loss of vitamins, for this reason the best way to make compotes is through the blanching process.
and what is the blanching process?
Hello, as far as I know, the palate of a baby has not developed a taste for flavors, therefore it will not bother him if it is sweet or not, it is also advisable not to give a lot of sugar to the baby because that way he does not develop a tendency for the sweet foods and rejection of tasteless vegetables so early. I boil my baby apple, pear peaches and plums without sugar or butter or anything like that and he eats them all. I also give him vegetables like squash, zucchini, chayote, carrots and he eats everything. In addition, it is not advisable to give eggs to a baby until after one year of age because in some children it can develop allergies. This recipe for my taste takes too much that he drinks he does not need and does not serve him.
Be careful with these recommendations, babies under one year of age can develop allergies from consuming acidic fruits such as lemon. Similarly, the egg (not even the yolk) is recommended for babies under 8 months. On the other hand, the compotes should not be added sugar.
It seems to me a very risky recipe for babies because of the sugar, butter, etc. that is the first thing the pdiaters say about not making them ... I for my part cooked a peeled apple and then liquefied it without anything, without water and very delicious. In fact I can pass it as compote and they will not feel the difference something healthy, without so many things and easy to do
I think that sugar is bad for babies, these recipes are not reliable, so how can one have confidence in those recipes
It seems to me that these recipes are for older babies as of 1 year and older since they contain sugar, eggs and lemon, this can irritate the baby and instead of doing him good we will have serious difficulties since his digestive system is very tender! !
It seems to me that this article is misinforming many mothers!
Hello, the truth is that these recipes are not good for babies, first because of the sugar and the lemon, much less eggs, mothers consult your pediatricians, I don't think they get carried away by these recipes .. my son is 6 months old and the only thing that I recommend the pediatrician are apple, pear, melon, papaya, and other juices, no citricooosss eye with that .. kisses for your babies and really take good care of them
Hello Robayita!
Indeed, these recipes are not suitable for 6-month-old babies, but they are suitable for babies from 18 months of age who can already have citrus fruits, sugar, honey, yogurt, etc.

Hello, my mom taught me to make compote in this way. You choose the fruit, you peel it, boil it in a little water with sugar to taste, after boiling the smoothie, cook it again and add cornstarch diluted in water by thickening it, stir it with a wooden paddle until boiling :-) This compote has served the whole family and the babies liked it and it didn't hurt them
When I tried the compote the chimichanga came out, pasta and beans I no longer have constipation but if I am comfortable and my baby has diarrhea and with a grainy foot I worry a lot but thanks I get rid of constipation aaaaa yyy I eat meat with patacon mmmmmmmm rich
YOU SHOULD NOT ADD SUGAR AND MUCH LESS BUTTER TO THE JAMS, WHAT IS INSANE, JUST THEY WANT TO KILL THE BABIES.
You are absolutely right Helen, this post is old and was not reviewed. I am going to introduce a clarification, thank you for your comment.
Macarena.
The compotes do not need sugar, they already have their natural sugar, which is that of the fruit, which you choose. the children feel the very intense flavor of each one of it since they have never tasted anything else before. We recognize that they do not have sugar because we are already used to their taste. My baby is 6 years old, he does not miss her at all since I never gave it to him, in fact very sweet flavors bother him, I clarify my baby eats sugar in cookies, cakes etc, in a fair measure I avoid it in foods that do not need;
compote is one of them.
