After the baby is four months old, the nutrition contained in breast milk cannot meet the needs of the child's growth and development. At this time, it is necessary to increase complementary food, which can not only ensure the nutritional balance of children, but also provide nutrition that breast milk lacks. The principle of adding complementary food to the baby is to start feeding from a small amount and gradually increase. The nature of the food is from thin to thick, from coarse to fine. Choose to feed with a small spoon and gradually transition from milk to solid food to adapt to the baby's stomach. Juice is actually a condensed version of fruit. After being squeezed into juice, the sugar content will become higher. A small glass of fruit juice is much higher than a single fruit, and the nutritional content of fruit juice is not as good as that of fruit. Except the juice in the pulp, the dietary fiber in the fruit is not involved at all.
The best complementary foods are rice paste, vegetable juice, fruit juice, milk, grape juice and lotus root starch, all of which are particularly good complementary foods. Egg yolk paste: After the eggs are cooked, grind them into a paste and add some milk. Fresh liver mashed potatoes: Chicken liver is rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin B, which can protect baby's eyesight. Lentils and avocados. Lentils are rich in dietary fiber, which is beneficial to the baby's digestion; Avocados are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which is beneficial to the development of baby's brain.
After the baby is eight or nine months old, rice noodles can take a back seat. Adult-made coarse grain special foods should appear to exercise the chewing ability of the baby. Homemade food will be cleaner and safer, but only if you buy safe and real food. For example, cod, there are many kinds of cod on the market now, and even many oily fish babies will have diarrhea after eating it, which also requires adults to polish their eyes to choose.
