Follow the instructions for use carefully when preparing infant formula.

Improper preparation or storage of the prepared bottle over a longer period of time can lead to health impairments, e.g. due to the growth of unwanted germs. Prepare food freshly before each meal and feed immediately. Do not reuse food leftovers. Thoroughly clean bottle, teat and ring. Close the opened bag tightly after removing the product, store dry and at room temperature and use within 3 weeks. Do not heat the food in the microwave (risk of scalding).

Sleeping

There are many questions about baby sleep: How does my child sleep safely? How much sleep does my child need? What if the baby doesn't sleep through?

With our tips we would like to accompany you on your way to a healthy sleep.

The right diet before going to sleep

A quiet and restful sleep is important for baby's growth and healthy development, but also for mum and dad.

In addition to soothing sleeping rituals and the right sleeping environment, a satisfying and digestible evening meal that is not hard to digest is also important for a good night's sleep. It should be a matter of course that only porridge without added sugar is given in the evening.

After the 4th - 6th month the milk meals are supplemented step by step with supplementary food according to the recommendations of the Research Institute for Child Nutrition. This raises the question for many parents which porridge is the right one for a good night.

What is easily digestible, satiates well and persistently and thus allows my baby a restful sleep?

For the evening, a traditional milk and cereal porridge has proved its worth. The milk in it provides particularly good and digestible protein. Delicate cereal flakes provide energy. The grain content ensures that this energy is available to the body over a longer period of time. As a result, the baby can usually sleep undisturbed without being hungry.

This is how it works best with a good end to the day and a relaxed night:

Watch your baby's signals. For the evening meal it should not be already so tired that it almost falls asleep while eating. In order to get through the night well, your baby wants to be able to eat its fill in peace. Let the day end quietly and plan a cuddling time so that your little treasure can say goodbye to its surroundings and to you.

What are HiPP's good-night porridges?

Baby-friendly milk provides your child with high-quality protein in the right quantity and contains delicate wholefood flakes. The milk provides long-lasting saturation.

And since sweet dreams don't require any sugar addition, HiPP has completely dispensed with it. We used only the ingredients that Mamas would use themselves - and supplemented them with selected vitamins and calcium, as required by the strict legal requirements for baby milk cereal porridge.

For the savoury taste there are also HiPP bedtime porridge with an extra portion of vegetables - also without added sugar. These are a full evening meal and, like all HiPP Gute Nacht paps, are of course of proven HiPP organic quality.

In rare cases, sudden infant death can occur in the 1st year of life during sleep. Fortunately, there is an effective prevention: the right sleeping environment. Simple measures help to reduce the risk for your baby to a minimum. The following recommendations are scientifically proven and have proven themselves in practice.

supine position

Your baby should sleep on his back from the 1st day on and always - also during the day. This is the most important precaution for safe sleep and reduces the risk of sudden infant death by 50%.

According to experts, the concern that the baby might swallow or even suffocate from vomited food when lying on its back is completely unfounded and, unfortunately, often the obstacle to a safe sleeping position.

If your baby is awake and active, it should be placed on his stomach so that he can train his back muscles. And later, when your baby can turn on his stomach to sleep by his own efforts, you can let him sleep in this position.
