When the baby is born, the food is relatively simple. Once the baby starts to eat supplementary food, it means that the baby's physical development has entered a new stage. The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016)" clearly states that infants should be added with complementary foods at the age of 6 months (180 days after birth), but before adding complementary foods, it is also necessary to follow the doctor’s advice to prevent babies from having indigestion, etc. Condition. Every baby has its own growth pattern. Under normal circumstances, they will float within a certain range. You have to carefully observe the "meal" signal that your baby sends to you.
1. At the table, the baby will show great interest when watching the adult eating, for example, the baby will stare at the adult intently, showing a good taste Sometimes he would stretch out his hand to grab something from an adult.
2. When mom and dad scoop food into the baby's mouth, the baby will try to lick it into the mouth and swallow it, looking very happy and delicious, indicating that the baby is beginning to be interested in food.
3. The baby's swallowing function is perfect, and the tongue reflex disappears. The baby’s tongue and mouth muscles have developed to the point where they can send food on the tongue to the back of the mouth to complete the chewing action together, instead of always spitting out any food sent to the tongue.
4. The baby is not full and grows slowly. If the disease is excluded, the baby's milk supply will not decrease, and the baby will be hungry easily, and the weight and height growth curve will be gentle.
5. The baby eats, drinks, sleeps, plays, urinates, and has a normal mental response. There is no sign of illness at all, but he has been crying or irritable for several days.
6. The baby has been taking breast milk, but the height and weight growth in the past one or two months has not been very good, and the growth curve is too flat to reach the normal standard.
Special precautions for baby food supplement:
>Baby’s food supplement is not as fine as possible.The shape of the food should conform to the baby's chewing ability. As the baby grows, it gradually transitions from thin to thick, from thin to thick.
For babies less than 1 year old, complementary food should not be the staple food, and milk is still the main food source; for babies over 1 year old, the staple food should be grain, vegetables and meat, etc., with milk as a supplement.
>Some babies will have diarrhea just after adding vegetables. It is recommended that mothers take a break for 1-2 weeks. As the baby grows up, the baby's gastrointestinal system is also adjusted. In order to care for the baby's gastrointestinal system, it is recommended that mothers make the vegetables puree and add it after the baby adapts.
Understand the suggestion, supplementary food should not be added for more than 6 months at the latest.
Because the iron brought by the child from the mother will be consumed almost 4-6 months after birth. For babies aged 7-12 months, their daily iron requirements are increased. Breast milk or formula milk alone cannot meet their iron needs. Iron should be obtained from food in time. Therefore, supplementary foods must be added when adding supplementary foods to babies. , Otherwise the baby is prone to insufficient nutrition, and the body is prone to problems.
May every baby grow up healthy and become a unique self! Really understand the baby, know you better understand the baby!
