As we all know, breast milk is the most ideal natural food for babies within 6 months. The average daily lactation of well-nourished lactating mothers is 700-800 ml/day, which can meet the comprehensive nutritional needs of infants within 0-6 months.
A 6-month-old baby needs 700-900 kcal of energy every day. Calculated by 800 ml of breast milk secretion, the energy provided is about 560 kcal, which can only meet 80% of the baby's needs at this time. Adding complementary food is a necessary choice. In addition, the iron left for the baby during pregnancy has been exhausted at the age of 4 months, so it is imperative to supplement iron with food.
There is no strict procedure for starting to add complementary food. Generally, complementary food can be added under the following circumstances. The baby's weight gain has doubled at birth. After eating about 250ML of milk, the baby became hungry in less than 4 hours and could basically sit up. The baby can eat milk 1000ml or more within 24 hours, and the baby is 6 months old.
But don't add starchy foods with high carbohydrates too early, which will easily make your baby obese. However, adding complementary food too late will affect the chewing and swallowing function of infants and the eruption of deciduous teeth.
