The baby's physical characteristics
Babies only rely on breast milk or milk powder to maintain their nutritional status in the first six months of their lives. With the growth of age, the baby's digestive system begins to develop and grow, and complementary food can be gradually added.
Nutritional value of millet
According to medical research, the protein and mineral content of millet is higher than that of rice. At the same time, millet contains a lot of vitamin B, which is necessary for baby's growth and development.
Millet is difficult to absorb and digest.
It should be noted that millet is not easy to absorb and digest, which may cause discomfort or even diarrhea to the baby. Therefore, when choosing millet as a complementary food for your baby, you must balance other ingredients, such as vegetables and meat, to ensure that your baby can eat balanced nutrition.
Nutritional value of rice
Although the nutritional value of rice is slightly lower than that of millet, it has a high absorption rate, which is relatively easy for the baby's digestive system to digest and is not easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort, so it is a very good complementary food choice.
Paired with other foods
Choosing the right complementary food is very important for your baby's healthy development, and you should also pay attention to matching other foods.
Add gradually, increase gradually
When adding complementary food, it should be added step by step to help the baby adapt to the new diet environment and ensure the quality and safety of complementary food addition.
