At eight months old, babies should start consuming complementary foods, and there is also a set of questions about what complementary foods to eat. Parents need to make scientific combinations, considering the baby's physical development status, and choose some foods that are suitable for the baby to eat. So, what are the complementary foods suitable for eight month old babies to eat?
There are many types of complementary foods that an eight month old baby can eat. The eight month old baby has sprouted baby teeth, which can be properly matched with solid food, such as bread slices, molars, Mantou, which can help the growth of baby teeth and exercise the baby's chewing ability. However, it should be noted that when adding complementary foods to babies, it is important to choose fresh ingredients, preferably bought and eaten on the spot.
An eight month old baby's weight will increase significantly, mainly due to the full absorption of substances such as protein, calories, and iron. At this stage, the complementary foods added to babies should also be rich in nutrients such as grains, vegetables, carbohydrates, etc. In addition, the amount of breast milk in the baby has decreased, so more hydration is needed.
At eight months old, the baby's gastrointestinal function has already developed to a certain extent, but it is also necessary to regularly add complementary foods. Do not feed the baby too much at once, and do not feed the baby too frequently. If the baby is not interested in a certain complementary food, the mother can add it after two weeks. Do not force feed it to avoid the opposite effect. Also pay attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm, otherwise it may cause indigestion.
