Introduction: If you add complementary food to 6 months old babies, you should avoid three methods in time, which can easily damage the spleen and stomach. Don’t misunderstand
After each baby reaches a certain age, you should add complementary food. This is a necessary process and is beneficial to the baby’s physical health and growth.
Most babies start adding complementary foods around six months old, but aren’t they just enough to feed the baby food other than breastfeeding? No, there are certain principles for adding complementary foods and you cannot add them randomly.
My friend Xiaolei's baby is almost eight months old and is in the stage of adapting to complementary foods. Xiaolei's mother-in-law thinks adding complementary foods is very simple. Just give the baby rice porridge, which is easy to swallow and digest, so she does this every day.
But not long after, the baby was not eating well. He never opened his mouth again after taking a few bites. Even if he was so hungry that he still couldn't eat much.
Xiaolei was afraid that it would be bad for her baby's health if she didn't eat complementary food, so she went to the hospital for consultation. As a result, the doctor said that it was wrong to add complementary food at the beginning, and there were many problems during the addition process, which made the baby very resistant to complementary food.
After the doctor explained the situation in detail, he also weighed the baby and found that it was a little light, which means that the nutrition was not keeping up and the complementary food was not good.
After returning home, Xiaolei took half a month off to take care of her baby at home, hoping that it would be too late to improve.
Parents should pay attention: add complementary food for 6 months old babies, and avoid three methods in time, which can easily damage the spleen and stomach, so don’t misunderstand!
Method 1: Always feeding rice porridge to your baby
Some parents don’t know what complementary foods to give their babies. The first thing they think of is rice porridge, thinking that rice porridge is the best choice, which is easy to swallow, easy to digest, and rich in nutrition.
In fact, this is wrong. Rice porridge seems to be very good, but it is actually not suitable for babies aged 6 months, because the nutrition in rice porridge is not high, especially without iron. Foods with high-speed rail should be added to the baby. Formula rice noodles are the best choice. Eating them to the baby can meet the needs of growth.
And if the rice porridge is not cooked soft enough, it is easy to choke on the baby. This is the rice noodles. Brew them directly in water and make them into a paste, which is suitable for babies aged six months.
If you give your baby rice porridge in addition, you cannot always make pure white rice porridge, otherwise the baby will not be interested if you eat too much. You should wait until the baby receives the soft and rotten rice porridge before adding vegetable puree or meat paste to enrich the taste and taste, making the baby like to eat more and more.
The same is true if you add rice noodles. You cannot always make pure rice noodles. After the baby accepts it, you should gradually add other ingredients.
Method 2: Wait until the baby is hungry before feeding complementary food
Some parents think that the baby is unwilling to accept rice noodles, and most of them are not too hungry, so they wait until the baby is particularly hungry before feeding complementary food, and even deliberately hunger the baby.
It is wrong to do this. I thought the baby would eat more deliciously when he was hungry, but the result was not the case. You will find that the baby is even more reluctant to eat it.
This is because a six-month-old baby is just starting to come into contact with foods other than milk and is more dependent on milk. When he is very hungry, he will definitely look forward to drinking milk more. Then, when he is fed complementary food, the baby will be very resistant and the more he feeds, the less he eats it.
So when the baby is particularly hungry or even crying loudly, it is best not to force the baby to eat complementary food. On the one hand, it is difficult to feed, and on the other hand, it is easy to choke on the baby.
should be fed complementary food between two meals of milk. At this time, the baby is not particularly hungry and is in a stable mood, so it will be much easier to add complementary food.
Method 3: Feed complementary foods when coaxing the baby to sleep
Some parents think that eating complementary foods before going to bed can make the baby sleep better because complementary foods are more hungry. If you only drink milk, you will easily wake up hungry in the middle of the night, so they like to feed complementary foods when coaxing the baby to sleep.
This is very bad because a six-month-old baby has limited digestive ability. If he eats and sleeps, he is prone to indigestion and will also affect the baby's sleep quality.
So add complementary food to your baby, try to choose during the day and do not feed complementary food before going to bed.
The above three methods are not right. Parents should not make mistakes, add complementary foods correctly to allow the baby to grow up healthily.
