Introduction: Add complementary foods to the 6-month-old baby, remember not to make mistakes, and beware of delaying the baby's growth
Most parents must know that babies can add complementary foods when they are about six months old. I remember when my baby was 5 months old to take to the hospital for physical examination, the doctor told me that the baby is almost six months old can try to add complementary food, hearing this sentence, I instantly have a sense of ease, thinking that the baby ate complementary food, I was not so tired of feeding, but when I added complementary food to the baby, I knew that it was really not so, and the more painful process began, and I missed the time when I only fed milk before.
Has your baby reached the stage of eating complementary foods? What do you need to do if you're about to add complementary foods? I believe that many parents are a little busy, do not know how to do it, and even do some wrong things.
Just add complementary food to the baby, remember not to make a mistake in these points, beware of delaying the baby's growth! Come and see, the sooner you know, the better to avoid making mistakes that can hurt your baby.
First point: Don't give your baby homemade rice cereal without nutrition
For the baby to eat something, parents hope to be the healthiest, this concept is correct, but homemade rice paste has no nutrition, and there is no high content of iron, if you give the baby who has just eaten complementary food, it will affect the baby's growth and development, delay the growth of the child. And the baby who grows to about six months is most likely to be iron deficient, once the iron deficiency will be anemia, which is troublesome, so just add complementary food to the baby, to provide food with high iron content.
The iron-containing rice noodles sold outside are very good, and it can be brewed directly when you buy it home, which is convenient and can provide the baby with what he needs to grow. As long as you go to a regular place to buy, choose a trustworthy brand, parents do not blindly diligent, wait for the baby to adapt to rice noodles and grow up a little, and then make some complementary food by hand.
Second point: Don't feed complementary foods when your baby is upset
Some parents with the baby do not summarize the experience, whenever the baby cries, they think that they are hungry, so it is not fed to feed complementary food, in this case feeding complementary food is the worst, on the one hand, the baby is not hungry to see the complementary food is certainly not to eat, on the other hand, it is easy to choke when eating complementary food, there is a risk probability, so when the baby is emotional, do not feed complementary food.
It is best to feed complementary foods when the baby is in a good mood, he is more receptive and there will be no surprises.
Third point: Don't feed complementary foods when your baby is very hungry
Some parents think that the baby is not good to eat complementary food is mostly not hungry, so often feed complementary food when the baby is very hungry, in fact, this will often backfire, when the baby is very hungry, he does not accept complementary food to a high degree. This is because the baby who just added complementary food, he also does not like to eat complementary food, prefer to eat milk, then when the baby is particularly hungry, only milk can be soothed as soon as possible, feeding supplementary food if the baby will resist, not easy to accept, if this time forced to feed, the baby will be more angry, irritable, the complementary food has a bad impression.
So when adding complementary foods to your baby, don't wait until he's particularly hungry to feed, it's best to drink milk between times.
Fourth point: Do not give complementary food immediately when your baby wakes up in the morning
Just fed the baby of complementary food, he still prefers to drink milk, when he wakes up, he is often looking forward to drinking milk, if this time to feed complementary food, the baby will not accept, so just added complementary food baby is relatively small, or the first bite of feeding in the morning is better, and so eat well, the baby has the spirit, a good day from this moment on, the mood is better The next feeding of complementary food is much easier.
Fifth point: Don't give adult food to your baby too early
After the baby reaches the age of eating complementary food, he will often show interest in foods other than milk, but parents should understand what can be fed and what can not be fed, if they are eating ribs, the baby looks at the eyes to give one, this practice is very bad, although the baby can not bite, just taste a taste, but often so, will affect the baby's sense of taste, and then add baby food will be very difficult.
And the baby within one year of age can not eat salt, if you often give him adult food, it is not good for the body, delay the growth of tall.
If your baby is just when it is time to eat complementary foods, remember the above points and don't make a mistake!
