Neighbor Xiao Li's daughter is 1 year and 3 months old. She wants to pinch her chubby face whenever she sees it. Everyone praises her mother for feeding her complementary food well and asks for advice on what she gives her baby.

is really "The husband says the husband is right, and the mother says the mother is right" . How to choose? Let’s first look at the suggestions given by experts:
0 World Health Organization , Chinese Nutrition Society proposes: After the baby is 6 months old, he should gradually increase complementary food, because breast milk or formula milk can no longer fully meet the needs of the baby’s growth and development.
. For babies who are 1 year old,
" Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents " mentioned that more than half of the energy required for feeding babies aged 1-2 years old is from complementary food and about 500 ml of milk per day.
That is to say, after 6 months, the baby will focus on milk and appropriately increase complementary food; after the age of 1, the diet structure will change, mainly eating and drinking milk.
For specific arrangements, please refer to the following points:
months old babies:
complementary food accounts for 10-20% of the total diet, breast milk or milk powder accounts for 80-90%, and the daily milk volume is 700-800 ml. Because at this time, the supplementary food is not to let the baby have enough food, but to let them adapt to food other than milk.
So, at the beginning, you don’t need to regularly and regularly let your children eat complementary food. After the baby has finished drinking milk, you can give them two bites of complementary food as snacks.
Babies need to undergo complementary food step by step, from single to diverse, from few to many, from thin to thick, and finally transitioning to using complementary food as a main meal.
0 months old:
complementary food accounts for 30-40%, and 3 meals can be arranged every day; breast milk or milk powder accounts for 60-70%, about 600-800 ml.
At this stage, children can be allowed to eat complementary food regularly, that is, three meals a day, but they still have to feed them first, and the complementary food is arranged between two meals of milk.
years old babies:
At this stage, The proportion of baby supplementary food is much higher, about 75%; breast milk or milk powder is reduced to about 25%, about 500 ml.
As the baby swallows, chews and digests gradually improves, the complementary foods are arranged in a variety of ways every day, changing from paste to mud or granular.
Moreover, mothers should slowly exercise their baby to take a spoon to eat by themselves after the baby is 11 and a half years old. On the one hand, it can enhance the fine movements, and on the other hand, it can increase the baby's interest in eating.
years old baby:
At this time, babies can have dinner with adults, but mothers try to make the taste lighter to avoid children from getting the taste heavy in the future. At the same time, at this stage, children should also cultivate good eating habits.
Children don’t like complementary foods, mothers can try this:
Change the cooking method: If you don’t like steaming, just fry it on low heat, if you don’t like rice, just pinch the rice ball, and if you don’t like salty, you can eat some sweets.
Complementary food diversification: If you don’t like to eat fish, you can eat shrimp; if you don’t like to eat leaf vegetables, you can eat rhizomes, such as potatoes; if you don’t like to eat apples, you can eat grapes.
Prepare a set of cute tableware exclusive to babies: Children like bright colors, and the same can be done for dining tableware. Mothers can let the baby choose it themselves and tell the child to use it to eat in the future.
Last
before the age of 11, and after the age of 1, use milk as the supplement . Moms remember this change, make appropriate adjustments, and take more care of their children's health.
