As is well known, breast milk is of great importance to babies. Unless there are special reasons, I believe all mothers hope their babies can continue to breastfeed until weaning. As the baby gradually grows, it is impossible to have only breast milk in their diet. However, some parents have raised questions about what to do if the baby only eats breast milk after one year old?
Although breast milk plays a very important role in the growth process of babies, it requires a large amount of nutrients for their growth and development. After six months, the nutrients in breast milk are not enough to meet the daily needs of babies, and at this time, complementary foods need to be added. So it is definitely not enough for a baby over one year old to only eat breast milk. The baby's demand for breast milk at this time may be due to their dependence on their mother. It is recommended to use formula instead of breast milk and adopt a mixed feeding method. When feeding formula and complementary foods, mothers can be allowed to feed them, because in the baby's heart, mother represents food. At the same time, increase the time spent with the baby to give them a sufficient sense of security.
Babies usually need to add complementary food at the beginning of six months. The first complementary food must be Rice noodles with high iron. Many elderly people will choose Congee at home, but it should be noted that the iron content in breast milk will be lost. Babies who are exclusively breastfed are easy to cause iron deficiency anemia, so they must timely supplement iron to their babies. The home-made complementary food lacks additional trace elements, so parents must choose Rice noodles with high-speed railway. Adding complementary foods should follow the principles of going from thin to thick, from few to many, and from single to complex.
