Introduction: When parents add complementary foods to their babies, these 4 points should be done well to help the baby grow, don't make a mistake
Every baby grows to a certain stage, and must add complementary foods on the basis of drinking milk, so as to meet the baby's growth needs. When it comes to the stage of adding complementary foods, some parents will feel a little tired and do not know how to add complementary foods to their babies.
Once the complementary food is not added well, it is very unfavorable to the growth of the baby, such as nutrition can not keep up, poor chewing ability, language development is backward, poor digestion ability, etc., any problem will hurt the baby, so about the addition of complementary food, parents should pay special attention to it.
When parents add complementary foods to their babies, these 4 points should be done well to help the baby grow, don't make a mistake! Come and see, it will help you a lot.
First, according to the baby's age to add appropriate complementary foods
When you just add complementary foods to the baby, you need to do semi-liquid complementary foods, you can't rush to add solid food, and you can't add too hard food, because the baby has not been exposed to complementary foods, the teeth are not well developed, at most two have grown, and the digestion ability is relatively weak, so it is only suitable for eating semi-liquid complementary foods. As the baby grows, semi-liquid supplementary foods should be thin to thick, so that the baby can slowly adapt.
Wait for the baby to grow to about ten months, you need to turn the complementary food into granular food, this can exercise the baby's chewing ability, more exercise to slowly adapt to eating some hard things, with the baby's growth, from small particles to large chunks, soft and hardness should also slowly change, from soft to hard. In this way, the baby's development will not lag behind.
Second, give the baby more high-speed rail supplementary food
Baby about six months to add high-speed rail complementary food in time, fortified iron rice noodles are the first choice, if the baby is deficient in iron, it will affect the development of the body. When the baby slowly adapts to the rice noodles, you can add other iron-containing ingredients and put them into the rice noodles for the baby to eat, so that you are not afraid of the baby's iron deficiency.
Why emphasize giving the baby to eat rice noodles fortified with iron, because rice noodles are easy to accept for babies, and if you make your own, the iron content is very small, or even does not contain iron, so don't make a mistake.
Third, the baby's complementary food should be done separately
Babies eat very little at a time, and sometimes the baby does not eat for half a day, based on these situations, some parents may have to give up, unwilling to give the baby a separate complementary food, if you do this is wrong. Do complementary food alone can consider the baby wholeheartedly, if it is mixed with adult meals, the meals that may be made are not suitable for the baby to eat, then it is not good for the baby's growth.
Therefore, parents must be diligent and try to cook alone for the baby before the age of three, especially within the age of one year, special attention is needed.
Fourth, do not add salt and seasonings when adding complementary foods
Before the age of one year old baby can not eat salt, only give him the original taste can be, if you add salt will change the baby's taste, the future taste will become heavier, may also increase the burden of the baby's stomach, causing certain damage, and after eating tasteful food, the baby is easy to become picky, these problems are not good for the baby after the appearance.
In addition, when adding complementary foods to the baby, parents should cultivate the baby's ability to do it himself, do not always take the initiative to feed, otherwise feed more, the baby will be accustomed to feeding, no longer like to eat by himself, when the baby is used to feeding, this state will last for several years, some children have been five or six years old and have to be fed, so it is not good for the child.
When the baby has a certain chewing ability, parents can make more good food, let the baby pick up and eat, such as cooked broccoli, the baby picks it up with his hands and puts it in his mouth, completes the action of eating himself, do more, the baby will eat very independently in the future, do not need parents to worry more, save a lot of worry.
Have you done everything right about adding complementary foods to your baby? If there is still time to correct it, grasp it.
