A few years ago, I often went to the countryside to give lectures and asked parents what the first bite of complementary food was given to my children?
At that time, many parents in the countryside said that the first complementary food their children ate was rice grown in the countryside, and then rice flour ground from the rural stone mill. Sometimes they were worried that the child would have a bad spleen and stomach, and they would add a small amount of yam to grind it into rice flour for the children to eat.
But I asked in detail later that the children who started eating homemade complementary foods with the first bite of complementary foods in these have different degrees of spleen and stomach weakness. I also found that these children have relatively dull expressions, and and their reactions will be slower!
consultation again found that if parents want to provide children with child health care and have drawn blood, they will have different degrees of anemia .
This is actually because the first complementary food for the child is homemade rice noodles. Although these rice noodles are very pure and natural, the rice grown at home may not even spray pesticides, but there is a fatal weakness, that is, the homemade rice noodles in are very low in iron content.
So although the child’s first oral complementary food will not be allergic to the child, because he does not consume enough iron, it will cause iron deficiency anemia in the child .
The most obvious effect of iron deficiency anemia is that the child’s reaction ability is reduced and his memory is relatively poor. That is, the child’s IQ is affected!
So I would like to remind our children’s first bite of complementary food. Parents should not make it diligently by themselves!
The first complementary food for children, you should buy these three semi-finished products and mix them with water for children to eat
The first semi-finished product: meat paste
We suggest that children eat meat paste to make the meat into very fine pieces. If it is , it is difficult to mix so evenly in the mixer at home, so it is recommended to buy finished meat paste for children.
The finished meat paste will also undergo corresponding testing, and the edible meat is also fresh and meets the standards. Moreover, the finished meat paste is indeed very finely ground. Just add some water to the child and you can rinse it into complementary food for the child to eat.
The second semi-finished product: liver mud
liver mud contains very rich in iron and vitamin A, which is very helpful for children's growth and development.
But we buy fresh livers to make them ourselves, and it is difficult to make them more delicate.
The first complementary food for children is a transition from milk to semi-solid food, so if is slightly granules, the child may not be able to swallow . It is recommended that parents buy finished liver mud for their children to eat.
The third semi-finished product: high-speed rail cereal food
is rice noodles and rice paste. Why is it cereal instead of pasta? Because compared with wheat, rice is less likely to be allergic to allergies.
So we have to consider allergies in the first complementary food, but these rice noodles are allergic, which is the rice noodles rich in iron!
Nowadays, many high-speed rail rice noodles are added. not only adds iron, but also vitamin ABCD and various minerals , and the nutrition is also very balanced.
After taking the first supplementary food for about three days, I found that the child has no constipation, diarrhea, rashes, and other discomforts. I can add another new supplementary food to the child. This new complementary food is added to the first bite of complementary food.
For example, steam pumpkin puree, carrot puree, and potato puree for children. These foods are crushed into after steaming . They will be easier to add to the child’s rice paste or meat paste, and slowly let the child’s food go from one to one to multiple!
, and the first complementary food of the child, the first complementary food of the child, must be eaten for at least one month, because the child needs to add iron from the first complementary food until the child can slowly eat some meat food made by parents using a mixer and grinder , and the first complementary food can be replaced.
For example, the child starts to add complementary foods for 6 months and starts to eat lean chicken for the child 7 months. The child can also digest it when he eats it. He doesn’t eat anything and pulls whatever he wants. You can consider cooking some very soft porridge for the child, adding some meat and vegetable foods to it, so that the child can slowly transition to the complementary foods made by the mother himself.
When the child is 8 months old, the complementary foods made by the mother for the child are no longer soft and rotten. They must have some slightly granularity. exercises the child's chewing ability. Only in order to make the teeth grown by the child have a useful place, and to make the child's chewing muscles more developed, which will help the child learn to speak after one year of age and pronounce them more clearly.
Therefore, the addition of complementary food for children is very particular. The first supplementary food mother should not make it diligently by herself, but the second supplementary food mother should learn to make it by herself, and what kind of raw materials should be chosen? What is it made? What method should I cook? Does the process require seasoning? Mom must know it clearly.
These can affect the health of children. For example, children do not need to add salt and sugar to complementary food before the age of one year. This is a critical period for cultivating children's light eating habits.
The foods children eat should be steamed or boiled as much as possible, instead of stir-frying or fried. This reduces children's fat intake and prevents children from digestion.
There are many things that need to be paid attention to when making complementary foods for children themselves. It is recommended that mothers buy a book called "What to Eat Complementary Foods Every Week".
