It is said that 6 months is the watershed of the baby's development, because around 6 months, the baby not only begins to learn to sit, to achieve progress from lying down to sitting up, but also to start eating other foods other than breast milk or formula!
The first time you eat complementary food, for the baby, it is also a big step in life.
On October 13, Du Chun shared a group of "daughters eating complementary foods for the first time" on his personal social platform, with the text: The baby's first bite of complementary food, dad also tasted.
Du Chun officially announced the good news of his daughter's birth in mid-April, when the daughter had been born for almost a week, so counting the days, the small egg dumplings are now almost 6 months old, to the age of adding complementary foods.
As can be seen from the accompanying picture, the first bite of the supplementary food eaten by the small egg dumplings is baby rice noodles, and it can be seen that the consistency of the rice noodles is just right.
The little egg dumpling obediently sat on the baby dining chair, wearing a saliva towel, the small hand meat was clenching his fist, the body was slightly forward, it should be the first time to eat complementary food and eat very delicious, adapted very well.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > the first time to eat complementary food, these details should be paid attention to parents in advance to understand </h1>
The first time to feed the baby complementary food, there are many details to pay attention to, parents have noticed, will let the baby eat better, but also for the future to eat a good food to make a good start.
Detail 1: What to eat and how much to eat in the first bite of complementary food?
Considering the baby's digestion and absorption capacity, swallowing ability is not strong, and it is also a food rich in iron, it is recommended that the baby's first bite of complementary food eat iron-fortified baby rice noodles.
So how much do you eat for the first time?
Try two scoops first.
But the two spoonfuls mentioned here are dry rice noodles, not brewed rice noodles to feed the baby two spoonfuls.
Detail two: "how to feed" is very important!
There may be parents who think that feeding the baby rice flour is direct feeding, in fact, there is a way.
Because the baby of 5-6 months, the tongue can only "move back and forth", after adding complementary food at 6 months, feed the complementary food into the baby's mouth, and the baby can get food by shutting up.
Well, the correct feeding method should be:
(1) Let the baby sit on the baby dining chair, or the adult holds the baby;
(2) Put the spoon on the side of the baby's mouth, when the baby opens his mouth, put the spoon horizontally on the baby's lower lip, the baby will close the upper lip to get food;
(3) Then slowly withdraw the spoon from the horizontal direction, and the baby will bring the food he has eaten to the base of the tongue and swallow it.
One caveat here is not to force the spoon into your baby's mouth, but to practice shutting up and swallowing through the method steps just mentioned earlier.
Only by learning to swallow complementary foods can we make the complementary foods that are constantly added later eat more smoothly.
Detail three: Is it finished after eating? Not really!
Because the baby is eating complementary food for the first time and eating rice noodles, it is necessary to pay attention to observing the changes in the baby's physical condition after eating.
Whether there is a rash, diarrhea and other allergic manifestations, if after 3-5 days of observation, the baby eats well, the body adapts well, you can continue to add the next food, vegetable puree fruit puree can be.
However, if there is an allergic manifestation, it can not continue to feed, to check to find the allergen, the situation is more serious or complicated to see a doctor as soon as possible.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > add complementary foods to your baby, do you have to wait until you reach the age of 6 months? </h1>
Regarding the time to add complementary foods to the baby, many parents have doubts.
Some parents have long wanted to add complementary foods to their babies, and a few days ago they encountered a parent who asked: Can the baby add complementary foods before 5 months?
But there are also some parents who feel that their mother's breast milk conditions are good and will deliberately postpone the addition. I had a friend like this before, because the breast milk is enough for the baby to eat, the baby looks very good, I went to see her baby, the baby was 8 months, and she had not added complementary foods.
So how many months is it best to add complementary foods to your baby?
According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization and the Chinese Nutrition Society, after the baby is born, exclusive breastfeeding should be given 6 months ago, and after 6 months, on the basis of continued breastfeeding, the baby should be supplemented with complementary foods.
However, in actual life, the specific development of different babies has individual differences, so when to start adding complementary foods, it depends on the specific development of the baby, and it is good to add them at the right time.
When the baby has most of the signals of adding complementary foods (refer to the figure below), it is necessary to consider adding complementary foods, not necessarily waiting until 6 months, but not earlier than 4 months.
In short, to add complementary foods to the baby, it must be the right method to avoid falling into the pit, and parents can learn the relevant knowledge about the addition of complementary foods in advance, so that it is not easy to make mistakes.
