What kind of complementary food is good for the baby? This is the trouble of many new mothers, new mothers, in the face of a small baby waiting to be fed, it is inevitable that they will be helpless and do not know how to feed.
Especially when the complementary food was first added, some novice mothers were in a variety of situations, often making mistakes, and even some mothers fed their babies some complementary foods that should not be eaten when the child was not 6 months old.
The child is less than 6 months old, it is best to feed less of this complementary food, delaying the child's growth
Bao Ma Ms. Jiang gave birth to a baby for the first time, facing the delicate baby, Bao Mom was afraid that the baby would fall in the palm of her hand, afraid that the baby would have something. However, the more afraid of what came, bao mom did not expect that she would make a big mistake in feeding complementary food.
Bao Mom counted the days, from the baby's birth is exactly 120 days, Bao Mom plans to add complementary food to the baby. At first, she didn't dare to feed more, so she fed the baby some rice soup. Every day when the baby eats dinner, the mother adds sugar to the thick rice soup to replenish the baby's energy.
Occasionally, Bao Mama will also use rice soup to mix milk powder and breast milk, and give the baby a meal to eat.
Unexpectedly, it was such a seemingly normal operation, but it ate the baby's spleen and stomach badly. Within a few days, the baby had indigestion and did not like to eat.
Seeing that the baby's body was getting weaker and weaker, and catching up with a serious cold, Ms. Jiang, the mother of Bao, was impatient and quickly took the baby to seek medical treatment. After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, the baby was caused by poor resistance caused by indigestion, which led to this illness.
In addition to treating diseases, doctors instructed that we should also change the baby's physique and find ways to improve the baby's resistance. Of course, the focus of this matter is to regulate the baby's spleen and stomach and improve the baby's diet.
The doctor pointed out that the reason why the baby's spleen and stomach are damaged and induce diseases is because the mother feeds the wrong complementary food. The baby is only 120 days, the digestive function is not fully developed, this time to feed the baby rice soup, there is rice oil on it, which is a huge burden for the baby with poor amylase secretion ability, which will destroy the baby's health.
In addition, rice soup seems to be easy to absorb, but Bao Mom adds sugar to the rice soup, and occasionally uses it to make milk powder and breast milk for the baby, which will destroy the vitamin A in the milk powder, resulting in poor resistance of the baby.
More importantly, if the mother often uses rice soup to make milk powder and breast milk, it is more likely to cause the baby to be deficient in calcium. This is because when the tannic acid component in the rice soup is combined with the calcium in the milk, it will be excreted through the stool, and the more often it is eaten, the more serious the baby's calcium deficiency will be, and it is difficult to grow tall.
Sure enough, the addition of complementary foods to the baby really needs to be cautious, and you must not add any complementary foods yourself, just add them directly. Instead, it is necessary to follow the method of scientific feeding and avoid walking into some misunderstandings.
Adding complementary foods to babies is a common misunderstanding, and many new mothers always make mistakes
Feed the food in advance and hope that the baby will grow stronger. This is the most common mistake some new moms make. When the baby is less than 6 months old, feeding complementary food to the baby in advance is very harmful to the baby.
Mothers may not know that the baby's swallowing system is not mature enough, and feeding complementary foods too early can easily lead to choking or allergies. Moreover, many mothers have over-fed complementary foods, and after eating complementary foods, they do not eat milk, and if they drink less of their mother's breast milk, the baby may have poor resistance.
Some new mothers will give their babies eggs when they first feed them complementary foods, which is also a very common mistake. Some babies eat eggs are easy to be allergic, in addition, the yolk in the egg seems to be highly nutritious, but the yolk belongs to a high-protein, high-fat food, and the baby's gastrointestinal weakness is difficult to digest, which is very easy to cause gastrointestinal burden.
Bao Mom should generally add a whole egg to the baby after the baby is 1 year old, and want to feed the baby to eat egg yolk, and the earliest also has to wait for the baby to be about 8 months.
In short, the novice mother has no experience in feeding the baby, and the feeding supplement always loves to make mistakes, which is really a bit difficult to solve. Seeing that the baby suffers for this, some mothers also feel helpless: what can be done about this, how to add complementary food?
The method of adding complementary foods to the baby, the novice mother must know in advance
Gradually add by month of age
Add complementary foods to your baby, which can be added according to your baby's age. The baby is about 6 months old, which is the key period for adding complementary foods. If the mother finds that the baby's digestion ability is still good, then you can gradually add some supplementary foods such as iron rice flour paste, banana puree, apple puree, fish puree, and mashed potatoes.
When the baby is 7-8 months old, you can add some rice porridge, rotten noodles and other foods; when the baby is 9 months old, you can add meat foam food to increase nutrition for the baby.
Babies are different in different months of age, and the complementary foods added are also different, completely according to the baby's digestion and growth status. If the mother feels that the baby's digestion ability is relatively weak, she can temporarily add only a small amount of complementary food to the baby, and one or two are appropriate to facilitate the baby's digestion and absorption.
Add to your baby by complementary food type
Add complementary foods to your baby, you can add them to your baby according to the type of complementary food. If bao mom does not know the knowledge of these complementary foods, and is busy, you can buy some more authoritative food supplement books.
For example, for a 6-month-old baby, easy-to-digest foods can be added during the first week of your baby. In the second week when the baby adds complementary food, he can feed the baby to eat fish, apple puree and mashed potatoes; in the third week, he can feed the baby to eat green vegetable puree and pumpkin puree; in the fourth week, you can add pork liver puree and sweet potato puree.
