Introduction: Babies do not like to eat complementary foods, most likely parents have done these 4 things wrong, the sooner they correct the better
When the baby grows to about six months, it must go through the process of adding complementary foods, and after slowly adapting, the baby can gradually accept more food and move closer to the adult meal. But when it comes to adding complementary foods, many parents are a head two large, found that the baby to accept complementary food is very difficult, seems to only love to drink milk, do not know your baby is like this?
Babies do not love to eat complementary food, in fact, most of the parents have done these 4 things wrong, the sooner the correction, the better, not all the reasons for the baby, take a look at it.
First, when it comes to the stage where complementary foods can be added, they are not added in time
In reality, there are many such parents, one is that the mother's milk is very sufficient, drink more breast milk is good, so deliberately postpone the time to add complementary food, think that it is not bad to do so, as long as the baby can drink milk every time, it does not matter if the supplement is added later; the other is to add once or twice found that the baby does not like to eat, but the milk is drunk very well, so it is better to add complementary food, thinking that it will be better to add it when the baby is older.
No matter what kind of idea, to the stage where you can add complementary foods, it is not good to add them in time, it is not conducive to the baby to quickly accept complementary foods, he will rely more and more on drinking milk, and when he wants to add it, he will find it more difficult, so he can't do this, the general baby can be added until about six months, you need to try many times, you can't give up because you have more milk, or once or twice the baby doesn't like to eat.
Adding complementary foods too late will not only hinder the baby's time to receive complementary foods, but also delay the baby's growth, because after six months, the mother's milk is sufficient and the nutrition is not high enough.
Second, see the baby eat rice noodles well, have been adding rice noodles
Rice noodles are the baby's first complementary food, the baby is good to accept good digestion, generally try a few times, and then the right time to feed, the baby will be happy to accept, but after the baby adapts to the rice noodles, it is necessary to gradually add other complementary foods, and when adding food other than rice noodles, the baby is likely to show that they do not want to eat, but can not give up because of this, turn to only add rice noodles, the more you do not add other ingredients, the more difficult the baby is to accept, there will be a difficult situation of adding complementary foods.
Third, the baby just touched the complementary food to eat adult food
Sometimes the baby sees adults eating, he will reach out or directly grab into the mouth, when this behavior occurs, some parents can't help but give the baby a little to eat, thinking that a little bit is okay, and it is very bad to do so.
Because adult food has a taste and is no longer the original taste of the ingredients, then after the baby has tried the adult food, and then give him a baby food supplement, he will be difficult to accept, showing that he does not like to eat. Therefore, during the addition of complementary foods, as long as the baby is not more than one year old, do not give him adult food, a small bite is not enough.
You can't directly add salt or sugar to complementary foods, which will harm your baby's health.
Fourth, did not make suitable complementary food for the baby
For example, the baby just came into contact with complementary food soon, give him rice, such complementary food for the baby is too hard, chew can not swallow, naturally eat bad; for example, parents do not know what to do with complementary food, they know that every day to cook white rice porridge, or cook soft noodles, for a long time, the baby will be bored, of course, will not eat good food supplements.
Therefore, after the baby accepts the rice noodles, parents should find ways to make complementary foods suitable for the baby to eat, if there is no clue at all, you can look at the baby's complementary food recipes, so that the baby likes to eat more and more, laying a good foundation for eating well in the future.
These several situations will affect the baby's acceptance of complementary foods, so parents should not do anything wrong, correct it in time, if they will only feed fiercely, this can only be counterproductive.
