Generally, after a baby reaches four months old, the stored iron and calcium elements in their body will gradually be lost, so it is necessary to supplement the necessary nutrients from complementary foods at this time. After a baby reaches one year old, they will need to consume more food, and at this point, they can gradually eat baby food as a main meal. So what is the feeding method for infants during the lactation period?
First of all, when a baby is six months old and is ready to add complementary food to him, because he is just beginning to swallow slowly at this stage, his complementary food should be mainly in the form of paste or mud. For example, you can give him complementary food such as baby Rice noodles paste or egg yolk. After he grows to eight months old, you can add some granular complementary foods to him in moderation, such as apple chips, to exercise his chewing ability.
Secondly, when a baby grows from around eight months to one year old, it is the period of vigorous growth of baby teeth. At this time, complementary foods should gradually become thicker and not just rice paste. At this time, you can give him rotten noodles or Congee made of minced meat and vegetables, and at the same time, you can slowly increase the amount of baby food. You can also make it a little bigger, which can improve the baby's chewing ability, help grind teeth, and ease the discomfort during teething.
