Misunderstanding of baby's complementary food 1. Choose egg yolk as the first complementary food for baby
Many people choose egg yolk as their baby's first supplementary food, which is actually wrong. Eggs are a major cause of baby allergy, can not be used as the first supplementary food for baby. Baby's supplementary food should start from baby's nutritional rice powder, because baby's nutritional balance and gastrointestinal health are fully considered. Then gradually add vegetable puree, fruit puree, egg yolk, meat puree, etc. to rice flour, follow the rule of from less to more, from thin to thick, from fine to coarse.
2. Replace feeding with complementary food
In order to let the baby eat complementary food, some mothers artificially reduce the amount of breast-feeding, so that the baby is forced to accept; others think that after six months, there will be no nutrition in breast milk, and it doesn't matter to eat less. In fact, breast milk (or formula milk) is still an important source of nutrition for baby's growth within one year old. Supplement cannot affect the total milk amount. It is not advisable to sacrifice the milk amount to increase the intake of complementary food.
3. Give the baby too much soup
According to the traditional diet concept, chicken soup and spareribs soup are rich in nutrition, and they often drink soup for babies. In fact, the actual nutritional value of the soup is not high, the water content is large, the energy density is low, and it will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines. Drinking too much soup will also affect the intake of breast milk (formula milk), which is not conducive to the growth of the baby.
4. Add salt and other condiments to auxiliary food
Some mothers add a lot of condiments to make their babies eat more complementary food, which is actually very wrong. The taste habit of baby is developing, and it is sensitive to the stimulation of condiment. Adding condiment will easily lead to baby's pickiness or anorexia, and excessive salt will also increase the burden of baby's kidney. What kind of rice noodles should I give my baby at the beginning of complementary food addition
Add complementary food to your baby at the beginning, it should start with rice flour. Compared with other complementary foods, rice flour is the food that is the least likely to cause baby's allergy, so it is often used as baby's first complementary food. At first, you can give your baby about 5g of rice flour (equivalent to a tablespoon) and mix it with warm water into a paste shape for your baby to eat. In order to facilitate your baby's acceptance, it's better to dilute the rice flour or make it with formula milk. If the baby digests well, the defecation is also normal. The amount of rice flour can be increased to 10 grams every 3-5 days, gradually increasing for the baby.
Semi liquid starch food
The principle of adding should be from thin to thick. After the baby adapts to the fluid supplement, it can gradually add half fluid starch food to the baby, such as rice paste, custard, etc. Semi liquid starch food is relatively thin, soft and rotten, easy to digest, easy to chew, with less crude fiber, which can promote the secretion of digestive enzymes of baby, and exercise baby's chewing and swallowing ability.
Vegetable and fruit puree
The vegetables and fruits that are often made into paste by mothers are: apples, peaches, strawberries, bananas and other fruits, as well as potatoes, pumpkins, carrots and other vegetables. The fruit can be directly scraped into mud with a spoon, while the vegetables need to be steamed and cooked first, and then scraped into mud for the baby to eat.
When you give your baby vegetables and fruit puree, you should also follow the principle of from less to more. First, give your baby a small spoon, and gradually increase to a large spoon after the baby adapts to it. Do not rush, and avoid the disgust of your baby.
