It is known that in modern economic realities, not everyone who has children to raise can use the services of this organization. This is connected, first of all, with the legislation in force in the country, as well as with those local decrees that are developed in each locality.

A little less than 2 years ago there were some changes in the system of functioning of milk distribution points (kitchens).

In addition, pregnant women who are attached to the antenatal clinic can receive food in the dairy kitchens of Moscow and the region. After the birth of a child, they are also given a set of products until the baby reaches the age of six months. The basis for issuance is a conclusion issued by a doctor.

Rules for granting

Dairy products and baby food in packages prescribed by age or pregnancy in the dairy kitchen in Moscow and the region can be receive exclusively by prescription. You won't have to pay for them.

To receive a set of products, you will need to provide a passport, write an application to the appropriate department of social protection working in the district or city (for MO), for example, to the children's clinic or MFC.

Also may be required:

Certificate (original or notarized copy) of the birth of the baby;
Polis honey. insurance (CMI);
Certificate of registration (registration) of the child at the address of residence in Moscow or the Region;
Confirmation of the status of the poor (certificate of employment);
Certificate confirming the large number of children in the family;
Certificate of health of the baby (if special nutrition is required);
The conclusion of the commission about.

Mothers who feed babies naturally (breastfeeding) can write an application to the head of the children's clinic to which the child is attached. Pregnant women are entitled to help from the dairy kitchen. In order to receive it, you will also need to write an application, but this must be done at the antenatal clinic, in which the woman is observed.

In the event that the family does not have a residence permit in Moscow or the Region, then in order to receive food assistance that is required by law, it is necessary to do temporary registration at the place of residence and with this document apply to the points of issue of food sets.

Thus, the way of social support for babies and families waiting for their arrival works. Today in Moscow and the region there are points for the issuance of dairy products and baby food contained in the recommended lists. The standards are strictly calculated, so each baby will be provided with the necessary set of products. The state guarantees that every child between the ages of 0 and 3 years old will be attached to the dairy kitchen, after this age restrictions come into force, but those who most urgently need support will continue to receive food in the prescribed amount. The quality and safety of products is controlled by special services, so there is no doubt that all the deadlines for the implementation meet the established standards.

The compositions of dairy kitchen sets in Moscow are discussed in the following video:

I met children's dairy kitchen when I got pregnant. Immediately, after registration, they began to write out a monthly prescription for juices (Frutonyanya for pregnant women (yes, that’s what it’s called) and milk 6 liters (“MolokoVo” 2.5%). As it turned out, they introduced milk for pregnant women completely Recently, therefore, dear girls, ask for a recipe for milk in your LCDs!

After the birth of the baby, the milk relies not only on the baby, but also on the mother too (when breastfeeding).

As it was before (before 2016): you come to the dairy kitchen and they give you, for example, vegetable puree 24 jars of the same type and fruit puree 24 b. also only one type. No assortment (how lucky with the kitchen and staff).

Starting from 2016 (since January) everything has changed for the better. In dairy kitchens, they began to form ready-made sets, and give vegetable and fruit purees in an assortment - several types, in accordance with the age of the baby (they will not give pumpkin puree if your baby is 4 months old).

A nice update from spring: now you don’t have to take the recipe to the dairy kitchen yourself, it is enough to write out for the next month before the 15th of the current month and that's it. The clinic itself will transfer the recipe to the dairy kitchen.

Now I will briefly dwell on the assortment of dairy cuisine in Moscow.

Children's milk dry mixture Malyutka-1 (or Nestogen-1) and Malyutka-2 (or Nestogen-2) - 350 gr. packaged
Sour-milk adapted mixture Agusha-1 (3.5% fat content), Agusha-2 (3.4% fat content), package 200 gr.
Kefir Agusha (3.2%), in packs of 200 gr.
Cottage cheese Agusha (4.5%), pack 50 gr.
Milk Agusha (2.5%), in packs 200 gr.
Juices Frutonyanya or Sady Pridonya (5 flavors) in packs of 200 gr.
Vegetable puree Frutonyanya and/or Sady Pridonya. Tastes: zucchini, tsv. cabbage, pumpkin, broccoli, carrots. Jars 80 gr.
Fruit puree in the assortment of Frutonyan and / or Sady Pridonya. Tastes: apple, pear, berry (2 types of three types of fruit, apple and apricot - "berry salad"). Jars 100 gr.
Meat puree Frutonyanya. Flavors: beef/veal, chicken/chicken, pork. Jars 80 gr
Meat and vegetable puree Frutonyanya. Flavors: with addition of beef/chicken. Jars 100 gr.
Dairy-free buckwheat porridge (dry) Frutonyanya
Dairy porridge (dry) in the assortment of Frutonyanya

This is the range, depending on age. Hope I didn't forget anything

A table of norms for issuing food (as well as tastes) is presented, in accordance with the age of the baby.

To receive food for the child , you must write an application at the clinic addressed to the head and attach (originals / copies) of the following documents: certificates of permanent registration of the baby, birth certificate with compulsory medical insurance policy, copies of parents' passports.

In 2015, we attached copies of documents, perhaps something has changed since 2016. In general, the clinic will definitely consult and help fill out an application.

In the future, I will supplement my review with photos of food boxes

Some scold dairy kitchens, they say, they don’t give enough, you can’t feed children with Malyutka and Frutonyanya, etc. Someone generally believes that low-income segments of the population receive food in the dairy kitchen and others receive it out of status. Bullshit, bullshit and more bullshit! To be honest, I think that such statements are very biased. A little, not a little, but it's a real help. I am very satisfied with Frutonyanya, as well as with the products of Sadov Pridonya. Therefore, I highly recommend it. And if there is an opportunity to prescribe food from the dairy kitchen, do not miss it.

If you are breastfeeding your child and you don’t need a dry, sour-milk mixture, then you don’t even know how other mothers need it and they ready to exchange your mixture for something useful for you(for vegetable or fruit puree, for example, or maybe just buy it). There are a lot of ads on the site of free ads [link] about the exchange or sale of food from dairy cuisine. This is how we exchange Baby for vegetable (or fruit) puree: the exchange rate is usually 1:8, but there are some mothers who change at a predatory rate of 1:6 or even 1:5.

Thank you for your attention
