Complementary foods must be added to babies, but when they are added, parents have their own opinions. Some parents believe that complementary foods can be added to their babies when they are four or five months old. Some parents believe that complementary foods should be added to their babies around ten months old. Let me tell you when to eat complementary foods?
Babies can start adding complementary foods at six months old, and if their digestive system is not very good, they can postpone adding complementary foods for a period of time. In general, the timing of adding complementary foods to babies should be based on their actual situation.
In addition, when adding complementary foods, one should also be careful not to rush for quick results. If you add too much at once, you must slowly add in small doses first. At the beginning of adding, it is recommended to eat complementary foods together with breast milk or formula, and then gradually reduce breast milk or formula and increase complementary foods.
Parents should also not allow their babies to fully accept complementary foods at the beginning, as this can easily lead to their refusal and also affect their ability to add complementary foods in the future. In addition, when adding complementary foods at the beginning, it is necessary to start with the thin ones, then increase to the thick ones, and from one type of complementary food to multiple types of complementary foods, adding a small amount first and then increasing the dosage. Also, be careful not to add salt, sugar or other seasonings to baby's complementary foods, as it can easily affect their taste buds.
