Babies can start adding complementary foods after 6 months, and many parents are troubled when they first start adding complementary foods to their babies. After all, babies do not have teeth, do not have good chewing ability, and have limited food to eat, so when choosing food for babies, they must be particularly careful. So what snacks can a seven or eight month old baby eat?
When a baby is six months old, breast milk and formula cannot provide more nutrition for growth and development, so it is necessary to give the baby extra food to supplement. At the beginning, you can give babies some Rice noodles, which is often called rice paste. You can also make some vegetable puree for babies to eat, which can supplement vitamins and meet their growth and development needs.
When babies reach seven or eight months old, they have already started to grow teeth and their gums may feel uncomfortable. At this time, in addition to giving them rice paste and vegetable puree, they can also be given some snacks. The so-called snacks are not the ones that often contain additives, but rather more nutritious foods. You can give babies some egg yolks, carrots, apples, bananas, and so on.
When trying these foods for a baby for the first time, parents need to pay attention to the baby's changes. If there is rash, diarrhea, or other symptoms, they should stop feeding immediately and try again when the baby is older. Parents can cut fruits into strips for their babies to eat, which not only supplements nutrition but also exercises their chewing ability.
