Adding complementary foods is also a parenting skill that every novice mother or dad must master. But often some novice mothers and dads who are new parents do not know how to add complementary foods to their babies. So, how should we grasp the order of adding complementary foods in this situation?
When adding complementary foods to a baby for the first time, it is important to understand the sequence from one type of food to multiple types. After feeding a complementary food to the baby for 3 or 5 days, observe whether the baby has indigestion or allergic reactions. If everything is normal, then it is suitable to add a second complementary food.
Then, in terms of the amount of complementary food added, it is also necessary to start with a small amount, and gradually increase the amount of complementary food feeding only after the baby's digestive system has developed a certain tolerance to this food and there are no other adverse reactions. This is the best way to avoid the baby's gastrointestinal disorders caused by excessive digestive burden.
And the addition of complementary foods should also be refined, starting with liquid complementary foods and gradually adding semi liquid complementary foods. As the baby grows older, solid complementary foods can be gradually added. This is a gradual process, so parents must not act too hastily in adding complementary foods to infants and young children.
