Beech-Nut Launches Infant Nutrition Program
Beech-Nut Nutrition Corporation introduces Good Morning and Good Evening baby foods, a new line of products that offers key ingredients to infants already eating solid baby foods, based on the time of day that they are fed and the associated nutritional needs. Just as adults need a healthy start to the day, infants benefit from a breakfast made with ingredients such as whole grains and proteins to encourage a steady release of energy throughout the morning and keep them alert and ready to learn and play. At night, because babies grow most when they are resting, they need a diet containing high quality protein to help build muscles and help keep them calm and relaxed during the evening. In addition to high quality protein, Good Evening includes another beneficial ingredient that can help babies' digestive health - a prebiotic called inulin found naturally in some foods, like chicory root. Prebiotics help digestion by stimulating the growth of "good" bacteria in a baby's digestive system. "This new line of products makes choosing what to feed baby a whole lot easier, and more importantly, provides babies with the nutrition that they need to learn and grow at just the right times," says Christoph Rudolf, president and CEO of Beech-Nut Nutrition Corporation. "Good Morning and Good Evening represent Beech-Nut's commitment to drive innovation and nutrition in infant food, and to provide more choices to parents."
