Baby needs to add complementary foods after 6 months. There are various types of complementary foods suitable for babies, and at the beginning, parents always make them into various clay like foods to meet their baby's needs. Mashed potatoes are a favorite complementary food for babies. So, is it easy for babies to digest mashed potatoes?
Eating mashed potatoes is very easy for babies to digest. Not only are potatoes easy for you to digest, but mashed potatoes can also promote digestion. Therefore, when feeding potatoes to babies, there is no need to worry about whether they are easy to digest. Mashed potatoes contain very fine fibers, which have no stimulating effect on the stomach and intestines, and can relieve pain and reduce stomach acid secretion. Eating more potatoes regularly can enhance the digestive function of the spleen and stomach. And the dietary fiber in potatoes can carry toxins out of the body and also help prevent constipation.
In addition, mashed potatoes have a high protein content. These proteins can improve the intellectual development of babies, promote their physical growth, enhance their immunity, and persist in eating to help their bodies develop better.
However, it should be noted that when feeding mashed potatoes to babies, it is important to ensure that the potatoes are not moldy or sprouting. Only by ensuring the freshness and health of potatoes can babies develop better after eating mashed potatoes. And make sure to eat mashed potatoes in moderation. Too much mashed potatoes may cause bloating, abdominal pain, etc.
