Orange for Baby - Easy Citrus Baby Food Recipes

When Can Baby Have Oranges and Citrus Fruits?

Currently the age for introducing Citrus Fruits is around 12 Months. Introduce oranges and other citrus fruits to your baby closer to 12 months due the acidity of the fruit

The Goodness of Oranges and Citrus Fruits

Are oranges a good fruit to make baby food with? Unfortunately, oranges, like all citrus fruits, are acidic and are likely to give babies younger than 12 months old rashes. The acid can cause terrible diaper rashes and even rashes around the mouth an lips due to the high levels of acidity.

With that being said, many parents have offered their younger infants tastes of oranges, orange juice or other acidic fruits and have had no reactions. If you want to introduce citrus earlier than by all means give it a try but please be on the lookout for possible reactions!

With new studies being released since 2008, the AAP now says that there may be no need to delay foods that are typically allergenic. This applies mostly to babies who have no known allergy/sensitivity risks. If you wish to introduce citrus foods earlier than previously recommended, just watch for any reactions. As with other acidic foods, if your baby is prone to sensitivities with foods, you may want to wait to introduce Oranges until after his first birthday.

We all know that oranges are high in vitamin C; did you know that one orange contains approximately 12% of the RDA for fiber too? Not just a great source of vitamin C, oranges have a myriad of vitamins and other nutrients that make them tops for a refreshing and healthy snack.

Pineapple is not Considered a Citrus Fruit – Can My Baby Eat Pineapple?

Pineapple is not a citrus fruit (it’s in the bromeliad family actually.) however it can be acidic. Processed pineapple tends to be less acidic due to the processing and sugar/syrup that it’s packed in; but I’m sure you’d rather not give your baby pineapple out of the can.

If your baby does not have any food intolerance’s and has shown no propensity to getting rashes due to foods, then you might give it a try around 10 months old. Many parents do feed their little ones pineapple around 8 months old.

For pineapple, mash it up and add it to yogurt, cereal, chicken (yum.) even sweet potatoes. Pineapple tends to be fibrous and if it’s too fibrous, give it a gentle steam and see if it softens up enough for your baby.

Can I use Citric Acid (Lemon Juice) for Freezing and Retarding Browning in Homemade Baby Foods?

A sensitivity to citric acids (like those in lemon, tomato, grapefruit, oranges) is generally not found after 12 months old. Ascorbic Acid is Vitamin C and seldom will you find anyone with an allergy or severe sensitivity to Vitamin C. Ascorbic Acid is added to many fruits to boost the natural Vitamin C content of the fruit as is Citric Acid. These may also act as a preservative and works to stop fruits from turning browm.

Many people ask about the possibilities of allergies to these citrus acids – odds are, your baby will not have an allergy to these 2 compounds. Your baby may however, have a sensitivity to the acid. We are told to stay away from citrus fruits (such as oranges, pineapple, lemon et al) until baby is 10-12 months due mostly to the acidity of the fruit – diaper rash, skin rashes and tummy pains are some things that come from a sensitivity to citric acids – not due to any allergic reactions.

There is a big difference in using a drop or 2 of lemon juice as a preservative in a fruit purée. As the drop or 2 is spread throughout the purée and your infant will not be consuming the drops with each bite of fruit purée that is taken. It is entirely different than offering your baby a few slices of oranges or chopped tomatoes for example.

If your baby has displayed any food sensitivities, you should use caution when using citric acid to preserve fruits and when feeding your baby fruits that have been treated with citric acid. Here is a great link all about Freezing Fruits

Orange or Citrus Baby Food Recipes

Orange Puree?

Nope, I don’t recommend serving a baby pureed oranges. Would you eat pureed oranges? Why not peel, section the orange and then cut into small pieces? You may have to peel off the membranes – that stringy stuff that covers the “meat” of the orange before you serve it however.

Ingredients:

1/2 pound carrots – peeled and diced
1/4 cup orange juice
1 cup water

Directions:

Step 1: Add 1 cup water and 1/4 cup orange juice to a 1/2 pound of peeled and diced carrots in a medium sized saucepan.

Baby food will be deprived of artificial flavors

This decision was made by the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission. Rossiyskaya Gazeta found out from experts and authors of the document what kind of substance it was and why five countries banned it at once.

The ban on the use of ethyl vanillin in baby food from April 6 is contained in the decision of the EEC Board N206 of November 11, 2014. Products manufactured before that time will be legally sold, including in Russian stores, until they expire. Parents should not worry that a child can eat a product with ethyl vanillin.

He is not dangerous. “Now there is a trend all over the world to use only natural ingredients in baby food. And the Eurasian Economic Union is also trying to adhere to it,” the press service of the EEC Board told Rossiyskaya Gazeta. At the same time, there is no evidence of harm from the use of this vanilla flavor, they confirmed it.

Ethylvanillin is an artificial flavor. That is, a substance that does not exist in nature and is obtained by man, which gives the product the taste and aroma of vanilla, says Dmitry Miklin, Ph.D. "In the nutrition of young children, flavorings are allowed only if their use is not only safe, but also necessary," the expert clarifies. "There is no need to use ethyl vanillin in baby food."

And where necessary, you can use natural vanilla extract or vanillin (the main substance responsible for the taste of this plant). "Therefore, - continues the interlocutor of" RG ", the exclusion of ethylvanillin from the substances allowed for use in baby food is correct, since there is no need to use it and it has not only safe, but also natural analogues."

A company representative indicates that they have never used ethyl vanillin in their products. And changing the regulations will not affect them in any way. "Products with ethyl vanillin on the market should be extremely rare, if at all, so that consumers should not feel any noticeable change in connection with its ban - neither in terms of assortment, nor in the cost of baby food," - Micklin says. A similar point of view is also presented in the EEC Board.

At one time there was a legal conflict in the legislation of the Customs Union. The technical regulation on food safety prohibited the use of ethyl vanillin for use in food by children under 5 months of age. Another technical regulation, on the safety of food additives, allowed. The decision coming into force tomorrow removed this contradiction in favor of tightening the rules. Manufacturers were given a transitional period to change their recipes and stop using the controversial flavor.

In the near future, changes in the requirements for the composition of baby food should not be expected, says Dmitry Miklin. Now the list of permitted additives is optimal, say the experts of Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

However, nutritional requirements for young children include not only safety indicators, but also nutritional values - how much protein, fat, vitamins and minerals the baby will receive with food. And in addition to how research is progressing in this area, ideas about what optimal nutrition should be for children are changing. “Work is ongoing in this direction, the indicators are usually reviewed about once a decade,” Miklin says. “And now, of course, this topic is also being discussed. children's nutrition, understand that such work is necessary.

Marketing director of Nutricia company Tatyana Semina reminds that parents, as a rule, do not save on baby food. But the crisis has not bypassed this category. "First of all, this affected the distribution of sales by channel," the expert continues. "Discounters and specialized children's stores are growing, which can offer the lowest prices."

Naturally, parents try to buy baby food of the brand they are used to, but now they prefer to do it as part of promotions, buying in advance. This increases the demand for larger packages. After all, the price per kilogram in this case is lower. And the consumer is now very responsive to this.

In general, sums up Tatiana Semina, one cannot say that the structure of the market has somehow changed significantly. Rather, buying strategies have changed. Producers and trade catch these moods and try to adapt to them. The baby food market is alive and even trying to develop.
