Introduction: Baby supplementary food is eaten well, why can’t you keep up with the development? There are two reasons. Parents should understand that
After the baby has grown to a certain period of time, parents will consciously add complementary food to the baby, because this can meet the baby's development needs and grow better. Generally speaking, babies aged 4-6 months can try adding complementary foods, and do not add them too late, otherwise it will be detrimental to the baby's development.
I believe most parents are willing to add complementary food to their babies as early as possible, but some parents find that even though the baby eats complementary food well, why can't they keep up with their development? It makes people puzzled.
A while ago, my cousin was very upset about this. The elderly at home also complained that she should not feed complementary food. Since then, my cousin no longer dared to feed complementary food to the baby and decided to breastfeed exclusively until one year old.
Later, after I heard about this, I quickly called my cousin and asked about the situation of feeding complementary food. I found the reason and told my cousin not to be too extreme in doing things.
If you add complementary food after one year of age, it will still delay the baby's development, because the baby needs iron supplementation after six months and needs to be obtained from complementary food. Once the baby lacks iron, development will be lagging behind.
However, it is necessary to add complementary food to your baby, otherwise it is easy to eat well but not keep up with development. What's going on in this problem? In fact, there are two reasons, parents need to understand.
The first reason: Babies eat more complementary food before the age of one year, and eat less milk
Some parents will deliberately reduce the amount and number of milk when their baby eats good complementary food, and quickly become a way to feed them mainly. They are very happy to see that the baby eats more complementary food and eats less milk.
In fact, this is wrong. If the baby is too young, his digestive ability is not very good, his stomach is not big, and he can't eat much food at a time. In this way, if he doesn't eat much complementary food and does not eat much milk, it will be difficult to consume nutrition to promote development.
So when facing younger babies, that is, babies who are less than one year old, it is best to feed them with complementary food as the supplementary food and milk as the main method. This will help the baby's health and development.
Parents should not make mistakes about the primary and secondary. If it is still time, make corrections as soon as possible.
Second point: Eat the wrong complementary food for your baby
Complementary food is a food that helps milk supplement nutrition, but some parents make it wrong, thinking that it would be good to just eat enough for your baby meals, and ignore nutrition.
There are several common types, and it is not recommended to give your baby to eat them frequently.
1. Parent-made rice noodles
Some parents are unwilling to buy ready-made rice noodles, so they make home-made rice noodles for their babies, thinking that this is less expensive and safe and hygienic. In fact, it is wrong to do this, because ready-made rice noodles contain nutrients such as iron, which can provide babies with these nutrients and promote development. In homemade rice noodles, the main ingredient is starch, which has very single nutrition, and it may not be the case if it is hygienic.
So even if the baby eats a lot of rice noodles every time, it is still easy to be unable to keep up with the development.
2. Rice cooked porridge
Some parents will make rice porridge for their babies, make more water and less rice, and make the rice soft. It seems that they are very dedicated to considering the baby, but it is not good to let the baby eat it frequently.
On the one hand, there is too much water in this complementary food. The baby will easily fill his stomach after eating it and will easily get hungry quickly. If you have hunger for a long time, it will affect your development. On the other hand, this complementary food has a single nutritional value and cannot meet the development of the baby.
So this kind of complementary food cannot be always given to the baby. It is not enough to eat it much better. Be careful to limit its development.
3. Soup made with meat and bones
Many people like to boil this kind of soup for a long time, thinking that the longer the time it takes, the higher the nutrition, but this is not the case. Whether it is the soup that turns white or there is a layer of butter on the surface, these are not so-called nutrition.
The fat content is very high. If given to the baby frequently, it will not only occupy the stomach, but also cause weight gain, which is not good for development. Have you figured out the above reasons? If you make a mistake, please correct it as soon as possible to help your baby grow up healthily.
