A few days ago, I saw the following questions
It seems like I am looking for babies of different
Different months of age, I like to eat complementary foods but not milk
or I like to drink milk but not complementary food
If I only look at the age of the month
These questions cannot be answered at all
Why do babies with 6 months of age do not like complementary foods and only drink milk?
10-month-old baby doesn’t like to eat complementary foods and only drink milk?
So at this time, another dimension should be introduced to analyze
is the transition of chewing-swallowing
Combining the age and swallow-chewing transition to analyze
These seemingly funny problems that are actually very troubled to mothers
You can get the accurate answers
Add complementary food
and correct it later ml3
Terrible work, adults are in pain
It is better to start from the first bite of complementary food
. Make all the details
Let the child lay a good foundation
This case shared today
is a misleading by some wrong suggestions
causes the child to be picky in food
Baby 8 months old, only willing to eat rice noodles and apples, but not other complementary foods. What should I do?
My baby is eight months old. It has been two months since he added complementary food since he was six months old. I am really worried. Before adding complementary food, I have read a lot of baby-raising knowledge, and I have come step by step. But now she is willing to eat rice noodles and apples, but she is unwilling to eat other complementary foods. The first bite is put into her mouth and starts to cry in the second bite. If this is the case next time, I will simply not open my mouth. I can’t eat rice noodles and paste all the time since I’ve been eight months old. What should I do?

You are a typical suggestion to add complementary foods.
You can list the ingredients you have added to your children so far, and see how many ingredients you have added. It can be counted as a bite. Among them, those with sweetness and those with no taste account for a proportion. There is one kind of fruit. For vegetables, such as potatoes, , yam, , pumpkin, carrots, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, purple potatoes, taro, avocado, corn, chestnuts, red dates, etc., all fruits are sweet.
I guess, it should be between half and two thirds, and it may even be all.
I don’t know if you have bought sesame paste, meat floss and finished fruit and vegetable puree. If there is, the degree of being pitted will be doubled.
Do you watch Douyin? How to make complementary foods, should you watch short videos or pictures? If you watch short videos, you will most likely be kidnapped by various bloggers. Have you bought the baby lunch meat? What are dissolved beans , rice cakes, teething sticks , and seaweed for children to eat? If so, the degree of being cheated will double.
The most serious problem for children now is that their taste is messy. The foods I mentioned above have developed a heavy taste of sweetness and like heavy foods. So she
I don’t want to eat other complementary foods. She starts to vomit when she first puts it into her mouth, and starts to cry when she cries when she is the next time. If this is still the same, just don’t open her mouth.
You must have tried "hunger therapy". When she is hungry, she will give her complementary food again. She will still vomit when she tastes the first bite and doesn’t eat it.
This is the most serious and troublesome problem now.
followed by swallowing-chewing transition.
rice flour has a transition from thin to thick? Does food particles have a transition from fine to coarse? Does the combination of ingredients have a transition from soft to hard?
I guess not.Cook various ingredients, put them into the cooking machine to smash them, and mix them with rice noodles in a bowl to feed?
"Eat" is a skill that you need to learn to master. If there is no transition or the transition is not good now, it is equivalent to the child being in the first grade and eating rice noodles all the time, which means he is teaching the child 1+1=2.
The delicate rice paste only needs to be scraped off the spoon. If you don’t pay attention to the details of the feeding, the child doesn’t even need to stretch his head to eat. Just open his mouth and shut up, and then swallow the rice paste. The whole process is to open your mouth, shut up, stir with your tongue, and swallow. It is impossible for her to learn how to use incisor to bite off food through a bowl of rice paste, then use her tongue to match, stir with her tongue, chew on her teeth, and then swallow.
If you are referring to recipes on the Internet, most of them only have a reference for the child's month-old dimension. You start feeding rice noodles paste at 6 months and feeding them for 2 months. When the child is now 8 months old, you feel that you can no longer continue to eat rice noodles. Just give her the 8-month-old child food. Can she eat it? Will she eat it? She didn't know how to eat it at all, and she didn't know how to deal with the spoonful of food you gave into your mouth that tasted rough and hard, and could not swallow it, and instinctively spit it out. Even if you feed a vegetable leaf or a noodles, she can't eat it. Not to mention that children now have an influence on the taste of food.
You will definitely say that children can eat apples, why can’t they eat anything else? Apples are harder than rice flour, and apples are larger than rice flour particles. Because apples are fruits, the taste is sweet and sour, and secondly, it is crispy and has plenty of moisture. I wonder how you gave the apples, and it was sliced? Or scraping mud? Or just give it to a child for chewing? No matter how she gives it, she will try to eat it for the sweet taste, for the sweet apple juice, and for the pleasant dopamine .
The reason for this is found, and the next thing is the hardest for you. Because I can't see the current state of eating in my child, I can't tell which stage of the transition from complementary food to add, I can only provide some common suggestions:
1. Stop the fruits, stop the snacks, and if there is a meat floss added with sesame paste, stop all of them.
2. Do not give fruits until enough 20 kinds of vegetables are added.
3. Separate the rice noodles and vegetables, a bowl of rice noodles, and a bowl of vegetable puree. For example, you need to give two kinds of vegetables in this meal, then it is a bowl of rice noodles, a bowl of vegetable A, and a bowl of vegetable B. Let children return from compound flavor to the single flavor in the early stage of complementary food addition.
4. Feeding details, such as sitting on a dining chair, providing dining trays, supplementary food spoons, and choosing the size of supplementary food spoons. You can find more detailed content in the summary of my answers at the end of the article, so I won’t go into it here.
5. Do not feed too much food, no more than one-third of the complementary food spoon. The spoon is flat in and out. Do not pour the rice. Do not feed the food. Then use the spoon to scrape the excess food off by scraping the child's mouth.
6. Do not feed too fast. Feed a spoonful of food, wait, wait, wait for the child's mouth to stop moving, and give the next
7. We must enrich the types of food for children. Our supplementary food supplementary food addition class for children in the second month, from 6 months to 7 months, and two months, there are 57 types of food added to children. You have to eat the vegetables first and then consider other things.
In short, it is certain that the child’s progress in complementary food is lagging behind, but now it is impossible to judge how far it is lagging behind, maybe it is 7 months old, or maybe it is 6 months old, so what you have to do is judge the current stage of the child, and then start adding complementary food again.
At the beginning, the baby will definitely not be able to adapt, especially for this kind of child who has developed a heavy taste preference. It is very troublesome. You must be patient and go from not eating one bite to being able to eat one bite is victory. This process may be very fast, or it may be very long, depending on how much parents can do it.
Below is a complementary food made by our students for 6-month-old babies. You can see that there are fine and thick, rare and thick. Even if you are 6-month-old babies, you will start adding complementary food on the first day of 6 months. It is definitely different when making complementary food on the last day of 6 months. There is also a transition of food, and children provide different foods at different stages.
Some mothers don’t understand why we have such strict control requirements for some of the baby snacks and finished complementary foods mentioned above.
A survey on dietary preferences conducted in 2012 showed that our attitude towards sweetness is manifested in varying degrees such as "knowing, liking, wanting and intake". Different people like different sweet flavors. The sweetness can be a whole corn in midsummer, a plate of milky white fresh cheese, or red dates and pears simmered slowly over low heat. Our love for sweetness may be common, but the way we consume sweetness is different.
As parents, the process of adding complementary food is actually to let children understand the taste of food and let children eat healthy food. This process requires parents to learn some nutritional knowledge and cooking skills. Changing diet is a reconstruction, which requires meal after meal, and ultimately makes eating healthy food an instinctive habit. If you don’t do this, you will feel strange. To do this, it is necessary to provide children with a healthier food environment.
