How much milk should the baby drink every day after adding complementary food, and how should the supplementary food be eaten?

Many parents know that they should add complementary foods to their babies around 6 months, but they are worried about what complementary foods to add to the baby, and how to distribute the amount of milk and complementary foods after adding complementary foods.

Today, I will share with parents an article on what complementary foods babies can eat at different ages and how much milk to drink every day, hoping to help parents and mothers.

Recommendations from the World Health Organization and the Nutrition Society: Infants begin to add complementary foods at the age of 6 months (180).

According to the study, babies aged 17-26 weeks were found to have the highest acceptance of different tastes, while infants aged 26-45 weeks had higher acceptance of different texture foods.

According to the Dietary Guidelines, the order in which complementary foods are added is:

Start by adding iron-rich foods such as iron-fortified baby rice noodles, pureed meat (red meat puree, including pork, beef and mutton), egg yolks, and liver puree.

The order in which animal foods are added is:

Minced meat - egg yolk - liver mud - animal blood slime - fish puree (clear bones and spines) - shrimp puree - whole eggs (such as steamed custard) - minced meat (first minced livestock meat, then minced poultry meat).

During the period, all kinds of vegetable puree, fruit puree, broken vegetables, broken fruit grains, etc. are gradually added to achieve food diversification as soon as possible.

The order of added food forms is:

Puree food (rice paste, minced meat, vegetable puree, fruit puree) - rotten porridge, rotten noodles, broken vegetables, broken fruit grains - soft rice, soft noodles, small dumplings, small wontons and other soft solid food, the shape of the food should be gradually rough.

Most mothers feel that from the beginning of the addition of complementary foods, until the baby is about one year old, they eat mud food.

In fact, it is not, the difference in the addition of complementary foods for babies in these months is still very large.

1. Babies who are 6 months old are in the direct swallowing period of feeding complementary foods, and can only feed the baby mud-like food, and also pay attention to the process of food from thin to thick.

During this period, complementary foods can be: fortified iron rice flour, egg yolk puree, vegetable puree and fruit puree.

2, 7-9 months of baby will enter the tongue grinding period, the baby will crush the food through the tongue and then swallow.

During this period, the supplementary food can be soft rotten food with slight particles: meat puree, fish puree, shrimp puree, liver puree, thick porridge, boiled noodles, minced vegetables, minced meat, crushed soft fruits, etc.

3, 10-12 months of baby gradually learned to chew, into the chewing period, pay attention to exercise the baby's chewing ability.

Soft and rotten solid foods can be added one by one: soft rice, steamed buns, small buns, small dumplings, small wontons, fruit pieces, broken vegetables, etc.

Many parents think that after adding complementary foods to their babies, they can no longer drink milk or rely on complementary foods, which is wrong.

Before the age of 1 and a half years, the addition of complementary foods should not be noisy, or it should be mainly milk, and the daily milk intake should be maintained at 600-800ML.
