baby adds complementary food to represent the baby's nutritional needs. Slowly transitions from breast milk to adult diet, and and adding complementary food is a transition process.
A baby adds complementary food before he is one year old, remember "ten don'ts". Don't wait until the child is hurt before regretting it
First: Don't give your children homemade rice paste
When I went to the countryside to give lectures, many mothers said that their family used rice flour grinding from their own rice, and made rice paste for their children to eat, or steamed into rice cakes for their children to eat, which would be safer and hygienic.
, but I don’t know that , homemade rice paste has a lower iron content , and children should add iron when adding complementary foods.
2022 edition of the "Diet Guide for Chinese Residents" suggests that the first complementary food for children should be meat paste, liver paste or cereal food rich in iron.
[Jingma's suggestion]
Children's supplementary foods eat meat paste liver paste or high-speed iron rice noodles.
Second: Don’t use a bottle to eat complementary food for your children
Children rinse it thinner when they just eat complementary food, and you can eat it with a bottle. Some parents even cut their children’s pacifiers larger and let the children take them to drink, which is also clean and hygienic.
Little do you know that this will hurt the child's teeth. The complementary food in the bottle will come into contact with the teeth for too long, which will corrode the teeth and cause to decay .
[Jingma's suggestion]
Children should add complementary foods in the beginning, with a bowl and a spoon .
Third: Don’t add new complementary foods when your child is uncomfortable
Sometimes the child has diarrhea or is sick, parents should not add new complementary foods to their children.
Because children are adding complementary foods is a process that gradually improves , and gradually adds new complementary foods, but do not add new complementary foods when children are sick.
[Jingma's suggestion]
Babies must choose when adding complementary foods.
The fourth: Do not add new complementary foods three days before and after the child gets the vaccine.
When the baby gets the vaccine, there may be vaccine reactions. , fever, diarrhea or irritability. , so do not add new complementary foods before getting the vaccine.
Because adding new complementary foods, if the child is allergic to the child, it will affect the time for the child to get vaccinated. The child will feel uncomfortable three days after the vaccination, and adding complementary foods is also prone to discomfort.
[Jingma's suggestion]
. You must choose the right time to add new complementary foods to your baby.
The fifth: Baby complementary food does not require salt
According to the "Reference Intake of Micronutrients in Baby Ages", the child's daily demand for sodium is 350 mg.
Whether it is breast milk or milk powder, high-speed iron rice noodles, or porridge cooked by yourself, vegetables, fruits and meat contain sodium.
The content of these sodium has exceeded 350 mg, so adding salt to the supplementary food for children, the sodium in the salt will cause harm to the children.
[Jingma's suggestion]
Baby No need to add salt to complementary food before one year old, you can add a small amount of oil.
The sixth: Do not add sugar to baby complementary food
World Health Organization repeatedly issued sugar limit order , and even suggested that food manufacturers do not add sugar to their children's food before the age of three.
Because sugar is harmful to children's teeth, it can easily lead to obesity and also can easily lead to children's picky food.
[Jingma's suggestion]
Do not add white sugar for children's complementary food, do not add glucose , do not add corn solid syrup , do not add maltose and other refined sugar.
The seventh: Babies should not add meat too late
The latest dietary guide suggests that babies can eat meat by adding complementary foods at the beginning.
However, many parents still choose high-speed rail rice noodles for their children. The iron content in the high-speed rail rice noodles are not particularly high, and the absorption rate is relatively low. Therefore, in order to prevent children from iron deficiency anemia , it is recommended to add meat to their children as soon as possible.
In fact, after adding complementary foods, children can consider adding some meat paste to their children, and do not add meat to their children at the latest for more than 7 months.
[Jingma's suggestion]
Children eat meat fresh, you can make it into a paste .
The eighth: Don’t drink juice for children
American Pediatrics Association recommends that children should not drink juice before one year old, and limit the amount of juice after one year old.
Because the juice contains a high sugar content, it will cause harm to the child's teeth.
[Jingma's suggestion]
Children eat fruit instead of drinking juice when adding fruit.
The ninth: Don’t be afraid of the child being dirty, don’t give the child to eat
Many children start to want to eat by themselves at around 8 months old, and there will be a tendency to reach out to eat by themselves . At this time, parents should not worry about their children being dirty, let the child eat by themselves, and even make some finger food to facilitate the child to grab it.
This can exercise the child's fine movements, and can also prevent the child from being picky and anorexia.
[Jingma's suggestion]
Children can let their children eat by themselves at about one year old.
The tenth: Don’t reduce the amount of milk too early
When the child adds complementary foods for 6 months, he only eats one meal a day. When the child is about one year old, he can eat three meals of complementary foods every day.
However, it is recommended not to reduce the amount of milk without authorization before the child is 10 months old, because this will affect the child's nutritional intake. The amount of milk in the child should be at least 800 ml before the child is 10 months old.
After 10 months, if the child eats good complementary food, it can slowly reduce it to 700 ml, and the child's milk volume will be reduced to below 600 ml after one year of age.
[Jingma's suggestion]
complementary food is auxiliary food, don't scatter the main .
