When the baby grows to six months old, the doctor will recommend that parents add complementary foods to the baby, for parents, taking care of the baby has entered a new stage, the correct addition of complementary food is conducive to the baby's development.
Regarding the addition of complementary foods, it is not just as simple as giving food other than feeding your baby, there is still a lot of knowledge to understand. Parents should pay attention to the fact that after the baby is six months old, the addition of complementary foods should avoid these 4 methods to avoid harming the baby! Come and see, the sooner you know, the better.
The first practice: add complementary foods later
Some parents think that it is nothing to add complementary foods later, as long as they feed their babies more, if you think the same or do it wrong. Because the milk eats more, its nutrition is limited, the water content is more, as the baby grows up, the nutrition of the milk can not meet his growth, and at that time, it is full, it will not take long to be hungry, the nutrition can not keep up with the time, and often hungry, which will affect the baby's development.
Therefore, whether breastfeeding or feeding milk powder, after six months, you must actively try to feed complementary foods, do not delay, and add them as early as possible to adapt as soon as possible.
Second practice: Grind some rice noodles yourself
Parents' homemade complementary food is worthy of praise, but the baby's first bite of complementary food is best to eat iron-rich rice noodles, it is used as the first complementary food, the baby is easy to accept, and is not afraid of the lack of iron elements. And if you grind some rice noodles yourself, the taste is no problem, that is, insufficient nutrition, the most only starch, after brewing, only more water, then this complementary food is often given to the baby to eat, can only make a stomach full, and can not promote growth and development.
So don't be blind and diligent at this point, wait until the baby is fully accustomed to rice noodles, and then try to add other ingredients, expand the range of ingredients, and then you can make your own complementary food, and the ingredients are richer and more nutritious.
The third practice: always make puree food supplements
When you just add complementary food to the baby, whether it is to do complementary food or feed complementary food is difficult, parents may have no clue, so they will find a way to do a variety of mud food, randomly match the ingredients into the wall breaker into mud, although this is simple and fast, the baby is also very acceptable, but eating too long is not good for the baby.
Because as the baby grows up, he will slowly grow teeth, need to exercise chewing ability through complementary food, if you have been eating puree food, do not need to chew, then this ability can not get exercise, in the long run, the baby can only eat particularly soft food, a little harder can not eat, the future is easy to picky anorexia, the growth is not good, but also will cause spleen and stomach discomfort and other issues.
So parents should be diligent, when the baby adapts to the mud-like complementary food, it is necessary to do granular, and then adapt to change to a block or strip, soft and hardness also changes, first soft to hard, so as to do complementary food, the baby grows up to eat what is smooth, easy to solve the baby's troubles of not eating well.
Fourth practice: drink juice or vegetable juice
Some parents have the wrong perception that drinking juice is equivalent to eating fruit, and drinking vegetable juice is equivalent to eating vegetables, which is very wrong. Because there are a variety of nutrients in the fruit, after breaking the wall and filtering, the only thing left is sugar and water, and other beneficial substances are few and far between, often give the baby to drink juice, nutrient intake is not enough, and too much sugar will be ingested, which is not conducive to tooth development and easy to grow caries. And vegetables are the same, it contains a variety of substances, such as dietary fiber, after breaking the wall and filtering, drinking vegetable juice can not play a role in helping digestion, and vegetable juice will have a lot of oxalic acid, so that the baby to drink more is not good.
Therefore, it is better to give the baby to eat fruit or vegetables directly, and do not specifically make juice again.
These four wrong practices are the most common, when you know it, don't go into the wrong area again, so as not to hurt the baby, if you have done it wrong, but if it is still too late, correct it as soon as possible.
