The baby began to add the first bite of complementary food at 6 months, as the baby gradually accepted rice flour, rice cereal and other complementary foods, the ability to accept new foods and chew and swallow is also slowly enhanced, the baby enters the adaptation period of supplementary food addition, you can start to try to add noodles to the baby, to help the baby complete the transition process from paste food to solid food.
But when it comes to choosing noodles for their babies, parents are starting to worry:
The mother-in-law said: Adult noodles are cut and fed to the baby?
Mom said: Should baby noodles be bought domestically or imported?
Dad said: Do you buy baby-only noodles, or do you choose ordinary noodles?
Mother Said: Adults eat noodles in fact, generally add a lot of salt, children are easy to eat too much salt after eating, causing a serious burden on the kidneys, but also affect the absorption of zinc, causing zinc deficiency and other issues. So, not all noodle babies can eat!
Between baby noodles and adult noodles, it is not just the difference in length, we can look at the ingredient list and the nutrition facts list.
Baby crushed noodles are not added with edible salt, low sodium or even 0 sodium, as well as calcium, iron, zinc and vitamins are fortified.
Adult noodles added table salt, sodium content is quite high, 591mg / 100g, and one year old baby recommended sodium intake is not more than 350mg / d, the baby's food intake counts him a meal to eat 30g of it, the sodium in the light noodles has 177.3mg, if you eat another egg, it is not friendly to kidney development.
Different months of age should eat different forms of noodles
Chewing and digestion ability is different for different months of age, more than 6 months of first taste of noodles can choose particles and length of fine grains, broken noodles (most of the broken noodles are 2-2.5cm, Biochi's broken noodles length is only 1.2cm), more than 10 months can choose to have chewy shape pasta, exercise the baby's chewing ability at the same time can also cultivate independent eating.
