Introduction: Add complementary foods to the baby, don't just pay attention to the age of the month, whether there are these three signals is also very critical
Baby grows to a certain stage, you can eat complementary food, no longer only eat milk, slowly adapt to a variety of complementary foods, and then transition to a meal close to adults, each baby will go through this stage, so when is the most appropriate time to add complementary food to the baby?
I believe that many parents often pay attention to parenting, understand that the baby's time to eat complementary food is usually at the age of 6 months, but parents pay attention to it, this time is not accurate, after all, the development of each baby is different, that is to say, some babies can add complementary foods in advance, and some babies need to add complementary foods later, in order for the baby to better adapt to the complementary food, to see the specific situation of the baby.
Add complementary foods to your baby, don't just pay attention to the age of the month, whether there are these three signals is also very critical! Check it out.
From the age of the month, as long as the addition of complementary foods no earlier than four months, no later than eight months are very appropriate, because too early to eat complementary food for the baby, not easy to digest and hurt the body, too late to the baby to eat complementary food, easy nutrition can not keep up, so too early and too late is not very good.
When the baby adds complementary foods at the right time, it will make the baby better adapt, and it is beneficial to his body and other aspects, pay more attention to these three signals, if it appears, it means that it is necessary to add complementary foods.
First, I am very interested in seeing foods other than milk
Want to let the baby quickly adapt to complementary food, based on the baby's sense of complementary food is not interested, if a look at the baby after six months, force him to eat complementary food every day, this is definitely not OK, will make the baby afraid of eating complementary food is very stressful, or the baby has sent a signal of interest in complementary food, parents are indifferent to wait until six months later, but also let the baby lose interest in complementary food, miss the opportunity, and the milk is very dependent, and then want to add it is very difficult.
How to see that your baby is interested in complementary foods? When the baby is four months later, when he often sees food other than milk, throw away the eyes that he wants to eat, and even reach out to grab it, after this phenomenon occurs, you can try to add complementary foods. If it has been six months and the baby is not interested in complementary foods, then postpone it for a period of time and must not force the baby.
Second, find that the baby no longer pushes out the food
Every baby has a tongue reflex when they are young, which is a congenital unconditioned behavior, when there is a solid into the baby's mouth, he will unconsciously use the tongue to push the food out, parents can observe, if the baby does not have this situation after four months, it means that it is time to add complementary foods.
On the contrary, the baby can not add complementary foods when it is six months old, otherwise the baby will ruthlessly push out after feeding, increasing the difficulty of adding complementary foods, and it is better to postpone some time to try again after discovering.
Third, see if the baby can stand up his head
Generally after six months of baby, he can sit in the baby's dining chair, the head must be erect, in this case it is much easier to add complementary foods, swallowing is not affected. And the baby will not be able to stand up the head, in this case can not be fed complementary food, but also postponed to see.
If it's time for your baby to add complementary foods, parents should do this:
The first kind of complementary food added to the baby should be the first choice to strengthen the iron of rice noodles, it is not recommended to grind themselves, because the rice noodles they do are very low in nutrition, in addition to the water after brewing, it is starch, then every time you eat such rice paste, you can only ensure that the baby's stomach is full, and it does not play a role in increasing nutrition, and the general baby is particularly prone to iron deficiency when it is six months old, if you can not add reinforced iron supplements in time, it will have an impact on the baby's development.
After the baby fully adapts to the rice noodles, parents should go to see more baby food supplement production, often do some different complementary foods, can not be too single, otherwise there will be malnutrition, often eat these babies are also easy to lose interest in complementary foods, it is difficult to cultivate a good meal, so parents should be dedicated, for different stages to do different types of complementary foods.
