Congee is undoubtedly the most suitable complementary food for babies who have not yet grown teeth. However, some parents are afraid that eating various Congee will not be good for the baby's digestion, so they choose to let the baby drink white porridge. Although porridge also has some nutrition, it will be boring after drinking it for a long time. Is it nutritious for babies to only eat porridge?
Is it nutritious for babies to eat only white porridge
White porridge is nutritious, but the nutrition of white porridge is not comprehensive. The diversified Congee can provide more nutrition for the baby, and the baby is not easily bored. So it is recommended that parents put more effort into their babies' complementary foods. Diversified complementary foods can help babies better obtain nutrition and reduce the risk of anorexia.
What nutrients should babies supplement every day
Protein: Protein is the main component of human cells, so it is one of the nutrients that babies should consume every day. Protein rich foods include fish, beans, etc. Fat can provide heat for the human body, regulate body temperature, and promote the absorption of various nutrients. So it's best for babies to consume around 30 grams of fat per day.
If the baby is zinc deficient, it is also not good, as it can cause the baby to have little energy, often feel irritable, have a decreased appetite, and so on. In the long run, it can also lead to anemia and affect the development of the baby's brain. So parents should pay attention to supplementing their babies with a certain amount of zinc element. Pig liver, egg yolk and other foods contain very high levels of zinc.
