What should a mother pay attention to when adding new food to her baby?

Introduction: exclusive breastfeeding babies will start to add complementary food when they are 6 months old. At this time, the baby grows and develops rapidly, and breast milk can no longer meet the nutritional needs of the baby. So what should I pay attention to when adding new food to my baby?

First, what should I pay attention to when adding new food to my baby?

Exclusive breastfeeding babies should start adding complementary foods when they are 6 months old. At the beginning of adding complementary food, it is recommended to choose pure rice flour with high iron content. Rice flour is not allergic, nutritious and easy to digest and absorb. It is especially suitable as the baby's first complementary food. However, as the baby grows older, it is necessary to gradually add new foods. When adding new foods, add them one by one. It is not allowed to add more than two new foods at a time. If the baby is unwell, such as vomiting, bloating, indigestion, etc. , it is necessary to temporarily stop adding. At this time, you can continue to add adaptive complementary foods and add new complementary foods in a few days. If the baby doesn't like new food, or pushes out the complementary food with the tip of his tongue, he will temporarily stop adding this complementary food, switch to other kinds, and add it in a few days.

Two. conclusion

When you first add complementary food to your baby, try to feed your baby a spoonful between two milk meals in the morning to see if your baby has any uncomfortable reactions. If you don't insist on it for 3-5 days, you can add it normally. Different months have different time to adapt to complementary food. Many babies need about 65,438+00 days to adapt to a complementary food. Therefore, when adding new food to your baby, you must not be eager for success.

In short, when the baby can eat complementary food, milk is still the baby's staple food, and it is necessary to ensure a certain amount of milk intake every day. The complementary food added to the baby must adapt to the baby's age. When I was 6 months old, I mainly used muddy food, such as fruit puree and egg yolk puree. When you are 7 months old, you can add some soft and rotten foods, such as soft noodles, chopped vegetables and fish, and gradually transition from cereals to vegetables, fruits and fish.
