From a child to about six months, parents will add appropriate complementary foods for him, and at this time, the child's stomach is still very fragile, so it is not suitable to add a lot of food at once, but should be transitioned by food such as rice noodles.
In fact, no one needs to recommend, because there are many salesmen in the mall, who will tell the mothers of newborns that rice noodles as the first step of complementary food must be our first choice. Rice noodles are a relatively easy food to digest and swallow, what about children? It is relatively easy to adapt, the key is to be able to meet the nutritional needs of the child's body, in addition, in terms of production, as long as it is used with boiling water as a novice mother, it is extremely easy to operate.
However, although this kind of rice noodles is good, it cannot be a supplementary food for children for a long time and provide them to children.
Because the nutrients in rice noodles are only suitable for young children, as children grow up, their body's need for nutrition is gradually increasing, and at this time, only eating rice noodles can not meet the needs of children's bodies, for a variety of nutritional needs.
In addition, the fact that eating rice noodles is easy to swallow does not exercise the child's chewing ability. However, in the process of each of us growing up, if the oral part is not properly chewed, it may lead to incomplete oral bones, and even the child's teeth cannot be effectively exercised. Therefore, it is recommended that all new mothers must understand when the baby rice noodles can be eaten.
Usually, when a child reaches eight months of age, he can change from rice noodles to slightly textured food.
That is to say, when the baby rice noodles can be eaten until the child is eight months old, other foods can be added to the child's rice noodles appropriately.
Rice noodles are gradually replaced after the child reaches eight months of age.
In addition to eating rice noodles, all about the baby's eating aspects, as a parent, we must have some understanding, to prevent walking into the misunderstanding, the following is some of our common mistakes in daily life, as a parent, timely understanding, timely correction, so as not to hinder the development of the child's body.
First, their own breast milk is good, do not rush to feed complementary food
Some mothers' breast milk has always been quite full, so they are very satisfied, their babies eat their own breast milk, so they are not in a hurry to feed their children complementary foods, but in fact, this practice is wrong, breast milk is good does not mean that there is enough nutrition in it, which can supplement the nutritional needs of the child's body. In addition, if you wean your child too late to supplement complementary foods, it is easy to delay the development of your child's chewing ability.
So you want your child to grow well and grow fast. According to the science of parenting, in the right time to add complementary food to the child, it is recommended that the child can be appropriately and gradually add complementary food at six months.
Second, if the baby has already eaten complementary food, he does not need to eat breast milk
There are also some mothers who are relatively extreme, they think that their children can eat complementary foods, so should the breast milk be cut off for him? Don't do this, the process of children eating complementary foods is actually a process of transitioning from pure breast milk to children eating adult meals.
It is better to be relatively gentle in this process. And weaning early is a bit cruel for the child, we can try to add complementary foods appropriately, while insisting on breastfeeding the child. The amount of complementary food varies from less to more, and the amount of breast milk is from more to less, through such a transition, the child will easily enter a state of eating on its own and not relying on breast milk at all.
Third, do not give the baby too early to eat adult meals
Some children are fed adult meals prematurely, and this tends to occur in families with elderly people. However, this practice does not want to appear again, after all, the adult meal contains a lot of flavoring and salt, which for a small baby, their stomach can not always be suitable.
More critically, in the face of these heavier tastes, it is easy for children to stop being interested in the original food for the time being, causing the child's heavy taste, which will lead to the child's anorexia and partial eating in the future, which is also not good for the child's physical development.
On the road to parenting, we are all novices, how to take better care of children, you can pay attention to me, and discuss with me those things on the road to parenting.
