After six months of age, babies start to eat complementary foods. As the nutritional value of breast milk gradually decreases after six months, it is necessary to obtain nutrition from food. Parents should pay attention to the scientificity of adding complementary foods to their babies in order to help them supplement the nutrients their bodies need. So, what are the baby's list of complementary foods?
Baby's complementary food list
When the baby is more than six months old, you can add some complementary foods, such as Rice noodles, which can be bought in the mother and baby store. You can eat it directly with water or milk powder. The nutritional value of a single Rice noodles may be insufficient. At this time, you can mix pumpkin puree, potato puree, yam puree, etc. to enrich the taste and nutrition.
You can also give your baby some Congee. At this time, white rice porridge is the best. When your baby is almost used to complementary food, you can make some meat Congee or yam Congee, but be careful not to add oil and salt.
Because babies cannot eat hard food yet, when adding complementary foods, they should start from thin to thick. Fruit puree, such as apple puree, banana puree, etc., can be added and eaten.
When the baby is eight months old, you can slowly add a quarter to the entire egg yolk to increase nutrition, but be careful to make small portions for the baby to eat.
What are the principles for adding complementary foods to babies
1. Adding complementary foods to babies should not be rushed, but should be done from small to large and from thin to thick. It is not advisable to add too many complementary foods at once to prevent the baby's digestive system from not adapting, which can easily lead to diarrhea or indigestion, and ultimately affect the baby's health. Complementary foods need to be added one by one. Once the baby's digestive system receives the new complementary food, another type of complementary food can be added.
2. It is not advisable to add complementary foods to babies during their illness, as it is not conducive to their acceptance of new foods. Therefore, parents need to pay attention to this. During a baby's illness, their appetite may be poor. Adding complementary foods at this time can not only cause indigestion, but also affect the baby's physical health. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the scientific nature of adding complementary foods to reduce the impact on the baby's health.
