But the baby's digestive system is delicate, can the baby eat corn porridge?
Corn paste is a relatively easy to digest food that babies can also consume. Generally, babies can start eating complementary foods after six months, and after adapting for a period of time, they can start drinking a small amount of corn porridge at seven months. Mothers should be aware that although corn porridge is easy to digest, it is not suitable for babies under seven months old to consume, as it can also increase gastrointestinal burden and cause diarrhea.
Moderate consumption of corn porridge for babies over seven months old has many benefits for their health, as it can promote their overall well-being. Corn belongs to coarse grains and contains more abundant vitamin nutrients, as well as rich dietary fiber. Eating corn paste for babies can not only supplement nutrition, but also prevent constipation.
Although corn paste is good, mothers should also pay attention to feeding their babies in moderation. Overfeeding is also harmful to health. Due to the high sugar content of corn paste, excessive feeding can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort in babies, and in severe cases, gastrointestinal discomfort such as diarrhea and vomiting can occur. When feeding corn paste to babies, it is also important to ensure that the corn paste is fully cooked, which makes it easier to digest.
