Introducing Good Evening baby food from Beech-Nut^®. Delicious foods specially made to give babies the perfect ending to their day.

It Just Makes Sense
What babies eat for dinner should be different than what they eat for breakfast. Just like a good breakfast gets your baby’s day off to a good start, a good dinner can bring your baby’s day to a calm and relaxing finish. It can make the night a pleasant one, and help your baby wake up refreshed and ready to take on the world. A good breakfast helps your baby learn by providing energy and a solid nutritional basis for the rest of the day. A good dinner calms your baby before bedtime. It also provides high-quality protein needed during sleep when your baby grows the most, and nutrition that lasts through the night so your baby can sleep restfully and wake up happy. That’s why Beech-Nut created Good Evening, new cereal and jarred foods made just for dinner.

Nutrition that Lasts Through the Night
Growing is what babies do best, doubling their weight in about four months and tripling their weight by the time they are one year old. Research has shown that children grow most when they are resting, particularly at night. For example, once past three months of age, their growth hormone levels peak at night. Growing requires energy. One ideal source of energy that will last from dinner to breakfast is a complex carbohydrate with a low glycemic index. A low glycemic index means that the carbohydrate is slowly digested and absorbed, so it is a source of sustained energy. Slowly digested and absorbed carbohydrates are provided by peas, lentils, oats and barley.

Good for Digestive Health for a Calm and Relaxing Evening
A good dinner should be made with ingredients that are comforting and easy on your baby’s digestive system, like a little ginger for soothing the tummy. A good evening meal should also have enough easily digestible proteins (such as turkey, chicken or whey protein) to be substantial and satisfying for your baby. Another beneficial ingredient for the evening meal that can help your baby’s digestive health is a prebiotic, called inulin, a natural component of chicory. Prebiotics help to stimulate the growth of “good” bacteria in your baby’s digestive sytem.  

High-Quality Protein for Healthy Growth
Because they grow so fast, babies need more protein per pound of body weight than adults to build muscles and to help fight infections. Breast milk and formula are excellent sources of high-quality, highly-digestible protein for your baby. However, as you begin to explore feeding solid foods to your baby, there are other sources of quality, easily-digestible proteins that can be added to your baby’s diet.

It is important for your baby’s food to have a mixture of these high-quality proteins that compliment each other. The quality of a protein depends upon how digestible it is and the levels of essential amino acids it contains. An example of a high-quality, highly-digestible protein is whey protein. Beech-Nut Good Evening foods contain whey protein, which has appropriate amino acid levels that are quickly digested and can help provide your baby with a satisfying and calm evening.

Each Good Evening product contains all of these important nutrients in the right amounts to provide your baby with the carbohydrates and protein needed to grow healthy and strong. Now it’s easy for you to provide your baby with a good dinner with Beech-Nut Good Evening.

When babies get the right nutrients in their evening meal, they not only get a good night’s rest but they’ll also get a good night’s growth.
