The right nutrition before bedtime
A calm and relaxing night’s sleep is important for baby’s growth and healthy development – and it’s important for Mummy and Daddy, too.
Apart from calming bedtime rituals and the right sleeping environment, filling and easily digestible evening meals that are not heavy on the stomach are also important for falling asleep easily and sleeping through the night. It should go without saying that pap fed before bedtime should not contain added sugar.
After the 4th – 6th month, according to the recommendations of the Research Institute for Child Nutrition, milk should be completed with weaning food step by step. Many parents have the same question: which pap is the right one for a good night’s sleep?
Easily digestible food before bedtime
What is easily digestible, filling and long-lasting and will therefore allow your baby to get a relaxing night’s sleep?
A milk-cereal pap has been the tried-and-tested, traditional choice in the evening. The milk it contains supplies particularly nutritious, easily digestible protein. Delicate cereal flakes supply energy. The nutritious flakes ensure that the body will have the energy available for a longer period of time. This way your baby will usually sleep undisturbed without being woken by pangs of hunger
This is the best way to finish off the day and to start a relaxing night:
Pay attention to your baby’s signals. For dinner they should not be so tired that they almost fall asleep while eating. In order to get through the night, your baby wants to have enough time to eat enough to feel full. Let the day end peacefully and plan to spend some time cuddling so your little darling can let go of their environment – and you – in a natural way.
