Many mothers cannot control the amount of complementary foods, especially for babies before the age of one. Today, let's take a look at how much complementary food babies should eat before the age of one?
The main staple food for a one year old baby is still milk, and adding complementary foods should follow the following principles: the first is the principle of gradual progress. The addition of complementary foods should be from small to large, so that the baby can have an adaptation process and there will be no digestive problems. And the thickness of complementary foods should also be a process from thin to thick. For example, from vegetable soup to rice porridge to soft rice. Every time you feed your baby, just prepare a small half bowl of the bowl for children. As the child grows up, the amount of complementary food can gradually increase, and you can add about half a bowl. But before the age of one, as the baby's main diet is still milk powder, there is no need to feed too many complementary foods.
Of course, during the period of feeding complementary foods to babies, they may experience indigestion. At this time, mothers should pause feeding complementary foods and wait until the baby returns to normal before slowly feeding them.
Moreover, according to the principle of three meals a day for babies, it is best to prepare a rich variety of complementary foods for them in the morning, supplement them with fruits and other foods at noon, and mainly rely on milk powder at night, so there is no need to feed babies any complementary foods.
