Add complementary food to the baby, it is not difficult to say, that is, to eat well, can give the baby a full meal; but it is not easy to say, after all, to add complementary food to the baby to pay attention to science, according to the baby's development characteristics, the correct addition of complementary food to the baby. Today, Beijing Mom will discuss with mothers how to add complementary foods to the 9-month-old baby.
A few days ago, a mother consulted and said: The baby is more than nine months old, just ate a large egg yolk of the supplementary food and ate it all, does it matter?
In fact, as long as the 9-month-old baby is not allergic to egg yolks, eating "a big egg yolk" is no problem, and parents don't have to worry too much.
But if the baby has not eaten egg yolks before, just added egg yolks, then pay attention to the baby's performance, see if there will be allergies in recent days, in order to judge whether to continue to add egg yolks to the baby in the future.
In addition, the 9-month-old baby has entered the "fine chewing period", and to the period when nutrition needs to increase rapidly, the baby needs to obtain more energy and nutrients from complementary foods, and such a large-month-old baby, the appetite will be more exuberant, so the amount of a "big egg yolk", for a 9-month-old baby, is no problem and can eat it all.
As mentioned earlier, the 9-month-old baby has entered the "fine chewing period", starting from 6 months to add complementary foods, which can be divided into the following periods according to the characteristics of the baby's development:
About 6 months, 6-7 months: swallowing period, complementary foods are added from 1 time a day to 2 times a day;
7-8 months: peristaltic period, supplementary food added 2 times a day;
9-11 months: the period of fine chewing, the increase of complementary foods to 3 times a day;
12-18 months: chewing period, the addition of complementary foods is 3 times of complementary foods + meals (1-2 times).
Moreover, if parents are carefully observed, the 9-month-old baby will have the following performances, which are the signs of the "chewing period":
1. The age of the month is 9 months;
2. When eating, the mouth can move left and right;
3. When giving the baby a lumpy food, the food will be ground with the gums.
Mothers will find that babies around 9 months old, began to like to grasp food with their hands to eat, eat a meal, like a war, get everywhere, in the end do you want to let the baby grab and eat it, how to add complementary food to such a month old baby? Here are a few points to note:
1. Starting from this month of age, you can add complementary foods to the baby 3 times a day to slowly help the baby develop a dietary pattern of 3 meals a day;
2, at the beginning, the amount is smaller, it does not matter, increase little by little, until you no longer need to eat breast milk or drink formula milk after eating complementary foods;
3, at this stage, the baby's tongue can be back and forth, up and down, left and right flexible movement, has grown the front teeth of the baby, may gradually use the front teeth to bite off the food, through chewing to break the food, so parents should pay attention to help the baby practice chewing ability, which is why the baby should eat granular food, grinding teeth food reasons;
4, this period, the baby will like to grab food with their hands to eat, parents do not have to feel that it is dirty everywhere, like to grasp and eat to let the baby grasp and eat well, let the baby learn the feeling of eating by "grasping food with hand" and recognize various foods, which is also good.
