Many people know that babies start consuming complementary foods at six months old, so that their bodies can receive sufficient nutrition and continue to grow and develop. However, even if babies start eating complementary foods, they still need to consume milk to gradually accept them and give up drinking milk. However, some people want to know if babies can drink milk after taking complementary foods?
Babies can drink milk after consuming complementary foods, but it is not recommended to immediately drink milk after consuming the complementary foods. It is recommended to wait until the baby has digested the complementary foods before drinking milk. This will not increase the burden on the baby's digestive system and is beneficial for their physical development. However, complementary foods are very important for growing babies. As babies grow up, breast milk and artificial formula gradually cannot meet their physical needs, so it is necessary to feed them complementary foods at this time.
So when babies first come into contact with complementary foods, it is best to arrange digestible pasty foods, such as puree, vegetable puree, etc. Then gradually add semi-solid foods to the baby, such as rotten noodles. Moreover, because babies may experience rejection when they first come into contact with these foods, parents need to be patient. It is best to let babies eat complementary foods between two meals of breast milk, so that they can gradually accept complementary foods.
After the baby fully accepts complementary foods, parents need to stop the baby from drinking milk. In addition, various foods need to be added to baby's complementary foods in the later stage, which can provide babies with various nutrients and promote their physical health. However, it should be noted that these mixed complementary foods need to be added in proportion and cannot be arbitrarily added, otherwise they will not be of great benefit to the baby's body.
