1. Time for adding complementary foods
When Hitomi was five and a half months old, I gave her the first bite of rice noodles. Because Dr. Cui Yutao said that we should be good at catching the baby's signal that the baby will add food supplements, that is, when the baby sees us eating, he will lick his tongue or smack his mouth, which means that he is ready to accept the food supplement.
The first supplementary food is high-iron rice noodles, and the ratio is 1:10, that is, one spoonful of rice flour mixed with ten spoonfuls of water. The first time I tasted it, I wanted to familiarize my baby with the taste of rice noodles. After receiving, the amount of rice flour can be gradually increased, so that the properties of rice flour can be transitioned from thin to thick.
How much to eat is up to the baby to decide, do not force feeding because of fear of waste, so as not to cause the baby to resist the complementary food. (After eating the rice cereal, feed some water to clean the mouth)
The ratio of the first bite of rice noodles to the pupil is 10:1
2. Pureed vegetables add time
When it is time to eat thick rice noodles, it is time to add date puree and vegetable puree. Each newly added ingredient is eaten for three consecutive days to observe whether there is an allergic reaction, and each time a new ingredient is added, it is best to add it in the morning, so that hypoallergenic can be found in time during the day.
This is the process of anti-sensitivity.

3. Egg yolks and minced meat add time
Seven months ago, I opened the meat --- chicken puree for the first time, and then I started a meat-eating journey, including beef puree, pork puree, salmon puree, cod puree and so on.
Nutritionists recommend that after adding complementary foods, you can add meat as soon as possible, preferably red meat, which helps to supplement iron.
The egg yolk was tried for the first time at eight months, starting from a quarter, and after confirming that there was no allergic reaction, it gradually transitioned to the whole yolk.
Because Hitomi was allergic to milk protein when she was a child, she didn't try egg whites until she was a year and a half old.
Eight months of food pairing
4. The order in which the ingredients are added
There is no fixed order of addition of each ingredient, as long as it is not allergic, it can be eaten.
Regardless of the meat and vegetables are the same, there is no order, vegetables as far as possible to eat seasonal.
After eight months, the sterilized ingredients can be eaten in several combinations, with meat and vegetarian combinations to ensure rich nutritional intake.
Nine months of food pairing
5. Food collocation principle
After trying more and more types of ingredients, the most important thing is the nutritional combination of ingredients.
When I was worried about nutrition collocation, I found a mind map of the five-frame collocation principle formulated by the professional dietitians in the mother group according to the daily nutrition needs of the human body.
This has made me a veteran of making complementary foods from a small kitchen white.
This mind map solves a big problem for new moms who are worried about nutrition, and we can develop daily recipes based on this framework.

The picture of the baby eating is the healing picture that every mother wants to see.
We must seize the critical period of adding complementary foods to make children interested in food and eating.
At seven or eight months, you can add finger food to exercise your baby's finger flexibility and grasping ability, and prepare for self-eating in the future.
The baby eats well, the mother worries less, may every mother harvest the snack goods of the eating stick and the body stick!
