Every baby in a family is an angel in the household. People's impression is that babies are chubby and chubby. But it's not like that, just like us adults, there are still some people who are fat and some who are thin. Mothers whose babies are relatively thin tend to be more worried when they see their babies in such a situation. So how to make the baby eat more fat?
How to make babies eat more fat
1. Breastfeeding is the first choice. Breast milk contains various nutrients that babies need within 6 months, especially immune active substances that cannot be replaced by other dairy products, which are beneficial for the health and disease prevention of babies. Therefore, pure breastfeeding should be given for 4-6 months, and after adding complementary foods, breastfeeding can still be continued until the baby is 1-2 years old.
2. After one month, it should gradually be changed to feeding every 2.5-3 hours, and the feeding time should be controlled within 15-20 minutes each time. As the baby grows older, the frequency of nighttime feeding can be reduced.
3. According to the amount of breast milk and the physical development of the baby, complementary foods should be added to the baby from 4-6 months old, following the principles of small to large amounts, from one type to multiple types, from fine to coarse, from soft to hard, less salt and no sweetness, and avoiding greasiness.
4. After the baby is 7 months old, regardless of the feeding method used, some granular and slightly hard textured foods should be added to the feeding to exercise the baby's chewing ability and promote tooth eruption.
5. As babies add more types and quantities of complementary foods, their milk intake may decrease, but feeding should not be stopped immediately. The daily milk intake should not be less than 600 milliliters.
6. Baby's diet should be balanced, eating more fruits and vegetables.
