Experts from the Chinese Nutrition Society, the World Health Organization, the American Academy of Pediatrics and other countries have recommended that children can add complementary foods when they reach 6 months!
However, it does not guide parents in detail, what should children pay attention to when they are 6 months old?
Xiao Feng began to buy rice noodles for the child to eat when the child turned 6 months old, and he was worried that the child did not like to eat, so he deliberately waited for the child to be hungry and cried before feeding the child complementary food.
I didn't expect that the child was too hungry, and he didn't want to eat complementary food at all, Xiao Feng struggled and cried while feeding the child, crying and sweating, and even choked!
This frightened Xiao Feng, and quickly put aside the complementary food and gave the child breast milk.
But Xiao Feng began to worry again, I heard that the child is prone to iron deficiency if he does not add complementary foods for six months, and the child's iron deficiency will affect the child's IQ, what can be done?
The timing of Xiaofeng adding complementary foods to children is not right, which will cause children to resist.
Add complementary foods to your child, remembering "five no feeding", otherwise it will hurt your child's spleen and stomach
1, too hungry to feed
Children at 6 months old add complementary foods, and they only try to eat some high-speed rail rice paste, or meat mud liver puree, food that has not been eaten, in fact, most of the children are resistant.
When he is hungry, he prefers to be able to eat familiar breast milk or formula, so that the acceptance of his taste buds and the acceptance of the intestines will be better.
If you choose to feed complementary foods when the child is very hungry, either the child will eat too much at once and is prone to allergies, or the child is unwilling to eat, crying desperately, struggling desperately, and may also cause the child to choke the trachea and cause suffocation.
【JingMa Reminder】
The child's first time to eat complementary food can be placed in the middle of the two meals of milk, when the child is not too hungry, when the mood is better, so that it is easier for the child to accept.
2, too late not to feed
Children are more likely to be full when they eat complementary foods, so some parents will add a meal of rice paste to their children when their children are ready to sleep, thinking that this way their children will sleep better at night.
However, this method is not suitable for babies who have just begun to add complementary foods, because when the child first adds complementary foods, he has a gastrointestinal adaptation process, and he may be allergic to complementary foods.
If you add complementary food to the child at night, the child is about to sleep, he is easy to have indigestion, in case of allergies or other symptoms, then most of the night will affect the child's sleep, and even hold the child to the emergency department.
Therefore, it is not recommended to add complementary foods to children at night.
【JingMa Reminder】
The child's complementary food is best added at noon of the day, the child's gastrointestinal awakening, if it is an allergy, it can also be dealt with in time.
3, too early do not feed
The child must be hungry when he wakes up early in the morning, and at this time give him some complementary food, he will definitely be able to eat more, such an idea is wrong.
When we adults wake up in the morning, we don't feel like we want to eat, let alone children.
In fact, in the morning, the gastrointestinal tract has just woken up, the digestion ability is not very strong, at the beginning to give him a supplementary food that has not been eaten, the child's acceptance is very low, and even unwilling to eat.
【JingMa Reminder】
The first meal of the child in the morning should drink his familiar breast milk or milk powder to reduce the burden on the child's gastrointestinal tract and reduce the burden on the child's body.
4, crying do not feed
When the child is crying, do not feed him complementary food, the supplementary food is originally semi-solid, the child's airway is open when crying, it is easy to cause food to choke into the trachea by mistake, pressing the child's trachea, may cause suffocation.
And the child is not in a good mood when crying, and giving him food that he has not eaten at this time will make him dislike it, resulting in the failure of the addition of complementary foods
【JingMa Reminder】
For children to add complementary foods, it is best to choose to add when the child is in a good mood and when he is calm.
5. Refuse not to feed
When the mother gives the child a complementary food, the child is very resistant to pushing it away with his hand, and the mother does not force the child to eat, but can change a time point, change a tool added by the supplementary food, or change a place to feed the child.
As far as possible, let the child accept complementary food on his own, under normal circumstances, at 6 months, the child will drool when he sees the adults eating, and even want to grab it and eat it.
At this time, it is the time when he is interested in complementary foods, and you feed him again, which is more logical and more acceptable to the child.
【JingMa Reminder】
If your child refuses to eat complementary foods, it may be the time, place, or tableware you use that is not right, you can consider changing it.
When you first add complementary foods to your child, it is very important to pay attention to it, and mothers must learn to add it to their children correctly in order to make their children eat well and grow tall.
