IN THIS ARTICLE: Fruit paste should be said to be the most suitable food for children as a supplementary food. So how to choose fruit paste as a supplementary food for children?

Generally speaking, starting from four months, besides breast milk or milk, the baby should gradually feed some mashed vegetables, mashed apples and banana puree. This survey is mainly aimed at users of puree. As of the reporting date, 3,672 users participated in the survey.

1.7 1.5 1% Parents will start feeding their babies with fruit paste when they are 4-6 months old.

The survey results show that 7 1.5 1% parents think it is most appropriate to start feeding the baby with fruit paste when the baby is 4-6 months old. This relatively concentrated view reflects the general acceptance of nutritionists in China.

Generally speaking, starting from 4 months, in addition to breast milk or milk, you should gradually feed your baby some complementary foods such as mashed vegetables, mashed apples and banana puree. Because more than 4 months after the baby is born, breast milk or milk alone can't meet the needs of the baby's growth and development, so it is necessary to add some nutritious food. Fruit is one of the kinds of food that babies need every day. Not only has high nutritional content, but also can promote the baby's metabolism and help digestion.

According to the survey, about 5% parents didn't start feeding the baby with puree until the baby was 8 months old, and even nearly 1% parents didn't plan to feed the baby with puree. Experts believe that 4 ~ 6 months is the key period for babies to add muddy food. Adding muddy complementary food is not only of nutritional significance, but also of great significance to the development of baby's chewing function, how to learn to eat and the cultivation of good eating behavior. Therefore, it is suggested to add fruit paste to the baby during this period, which can not only let the baby absorb the nutrition of the fruit, but also exercise the chewing function of the baby, killing two birds with one stone.

Second, 35% of parents choose to feed their babies with fruit puree on the market.

The survey results show that about 35% parents choose the fruit puree on the market, mainly because the fruit puree on the market strengthens many nutrients, and on the basis of retaining the natural nutrients in food, vitamin C is added additionally, which can easily and comprehensively meet the nutritional needs of the baby. Moreover, the fruit puree on the market has the advantage of being ready to eat, and it is time-saving, convenient and not wasteful. Some parents also think that the homemade puree is not delicate enough, which is not conducive to the baby's tender digestion and absorption, and the hygiene of the production process is difficult to guarantee. Therefore, the fruit pulp on the market is a good choice to taste the fruit pulp for the first time to supplement the nutrition for the baby.

More than 60% parents choose to make puree at home because it is fresher and more natural. It must be noted that the tableware used for homemade mashed vegetables at home must be disinfected to avoid bacterial pollution and harm the baby's stomach. If you make puree by cooking, you should pay attention to the heating time to avoid the loss of nutrients in the fruit due to long-term heating.

19. 12% of parents pay attention to the brand of fruit puree on the market.

The survey results show that more than 60% parents are most concerned about the nutritional components of fruit puree. In the process of baby's growth and development, it is necessary to supplement and balance various nutritional elements to ensure the baby's healthy growth, so nutritional components have become the most important factor affecting most parents' choice of complementary food.

Parents with 19. 12% brand pay attention to fruit pulp. It can be seen that brand effect is still an important factor affecting parents' purchase decision in the infant complementary food market with a wide variety of goods. Because they don't know the puree in the market, more parents are willing to choose the products of brand enterprises with large scale and good quality of products and services.

4.72.58% parents think that the main function of eating puree is to supplement nutrition.

Most fruits are rich in nutrients, especially vitamin C and cellulose. Eating more fruits can help your baby supplement the nutrients needed for physical development and promote your baby's healthy growth. Therefore, fruit paste instead of fruit has become a good choice for parents to supplement their baby's nutrition.

In this survey, regarding the choice of edible efficacy of puree, the order of proportion is: supplementing trace elements and cellulose, helping nutrient absorption, enhancing immunity and promoting digestion. As can be seen from the results, parents' demand for all aspects of edible efficacy of fruit puree is relatively general. From this perspective, most parents want to choose a fruit pulp that can comprehensively promote the healthy development of their baby.

5.36.47% parents thought that the puree contained DHA and AA.

The survey results show that parents pay more attention to various nutrients in fruit puree, among which vitamin C and minerals rank first. This reflects that most parents generally believe that fruits are rich in vitamin C and minerals. However, it must be pointed out that the vitamin C content of different fruits is different: for example, the vitamin C content of 100 grams of citrus is about 28 mg, while that of 100 grams of apple is only 4 mg; Fruit is not the main food source of minerals, but the rich vitamins in fruit can promote the absorption of minerals such as iron and zinc. Therefore, when parents choose the puree, they should choose the corresponding puree according to the required nutrients.

Surprisingly, 36.47% parents value DHA and AA in fruit puree. Because DHA and AA are essential substances for the development of baby's brain central nervous system and retina, many parents pay more attention to DHA and AA. But in fact, there are almost no DHA and AA in fruits. Therefore, unless DHA and AA are specially added to puree products, neither fresh fruit nor puree on the market can be used to supplement DHA and AA.

6.56.29% parents buy apple puree most often.

As the saying goes, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", apples are rich in nutrition, have health care functions and play an important role in baby's health. Therefore, apples have become the most popular puree flavor for parents, followed by bananas. This survey helped us determine the goal of the first fruit puree evaluation to be conducted by 39 Parenting Channel-to buy the most popular apple-flavored fruit puree, so stay tuned. In addition, the mixed mud of fruits and vegetables is also favored by parents.

More than 70% and 50% of parents think that 1 bottle100g puree will be finished in 2 ~ 3 days.

According to the data, the reference amount of adding fruit puree for 5 ~ 6 months is 15 ~ 20g, and that for 7 ~ 8 months is 25 ~ 30g. The addition of baby complementary food should follow the principle of from less to more according to different age stages. If you are worried that your baby is allergic to a certain fruit, you can gradually add a small amount and a single variety to judge whether your baby is not suitable.

Bottled fruit puree sold in the market is particularly vulnerable to external pollution after opening because it generally does not contain preservatives. Therefore, if it is not finished after opening, it should be carefully preserved according to the' preservation method' suggested by the manufacturer to avoid pollution or loss of nutrients due to improper preservation. It is generally believed that the opened puree can be kept in the refrigerator for no more than 3 days. Therefore, parents can choose the specifications of the puree on the market according to the actual addition of the baby, so as not to waste it because it is not finished in time.

8. Only 2.48% parents choose to buy puree online.

Most parents choose to buy puree in "physical" stores such as supermarkets and maternal and child specialty stores, and only about 2.48% parents choose to buy it online. I visited many supermarkets and maternal and child stores, and found that most places only sell well-known brands of puree, which reduced parents' choice of puree.

With the gradual development of e-commerce, many online stores have appeared on the Internet, with various brands and varieties, giving consumers more choices. However, because parents pay much more attention to baby food safety than adults, product quality is the primary issue that must be guaranteed in the development of online shopping.

Nine, parents are generally not interested in the promotion of lottery tickets.

Perhaps because the winning rate is too low, parents are generally not interested in lottery as a promotion method. The most popular is the increase in quantity without price increase, followed by price reduction concessions. At the same time, holding parent-child activities has become the third popular promotion method among parents. Because from the perspective of parents, brands that can provide parent-child stage and parent-child opportunities usually feel more intimate and impressive. It can be seen that how to cater to the user's psychology and achieve the best promotion, it is necessary to show their magical powers.

10.46.38% of parents think that the price of virgin pulp 100g should be 5 ~ 10 yuan.

If the price of this kind of puree is converted into the price of fruit, a catty of 25 ~ 50 yuan fruit can be called expensive fruit, but many parents are still willing to buy commercially available puree whose price is several times higher than that of ordinary fruit. It can be seen that the market of fruit paste complementary food still has great development potential, because the advantages of bottled fruit paste such as hygiene, convenience and rich nutrition have been gradually accepted by parents.

1 1.35.4% of the parents obtained the information about the puree through the internet.

With the development of information, there are more channels for parents to obtain information about fruit puree. In the information society where young parents tend to be highly educated, the network has become an important channel for most people to obtain knowledge and information. Merchants want to expand brand awareness, and online publicity has undoubtedly opened up a brand-new and broad road for this.

12. There is a big gap between the recognition of big brands and small brands.

The results showed that 79.66% parents knew Heinz protoplasm, followed by Beingmate and Garbo, accounting for 56.40% and 18.06% respectively. The recognition of other brands has not reached 1%, and the gap is wide. It was found that Heinz puree can be seen in almost all places where puree is sold, whether in physical stores or online stores, while other brands are hard to find. It can be seen that Heinz, as the "big brother" in the complementary food market at present, its popularity is inseparable from its brand effect; Beinmei, as a domestic brand, although not as well-known as Heinz, has gradually opened up the complementary food market in China.

Thirteen, 42.48% of parents chose Heinz puree.

The survey results show that most parents choose Heinz among the brands of puree in the market. On the one hand, it is because among the most common ways for parents to buy (supermarkets and maternal and child stores), only the brand Heinz can choose (almost monopolized); On the other hand, Heinz's brand effect among consumers is quite strong. Brand effect is produced in product promotion, and many consumers mainly buy according to brand effect. If a brand is well-known, even if consumers have never used it, they will buy it because of the brand effect. Therefore, if a brand wants to open the market, it is particularly important to increase publicity when promoting products.
