It is not easy to raise a child, especially a baby who is eating complementary food, it is not easy to take care of, sometimes I don't know what to do with complementary food, and sometimes I do it wrong, but I don't know it.
The protagonist of the story is Dudu, a little baby of more than five months, and her mother began to add complementary food to her. And she has a good appetite, and she can eat a lot every time, but the fly in the ointment is that Dudu's adaptability to the spoon is relatively poor, and every time she eats complementary food, she will get her face all over it.
Later, a friend came to visit the house and saw Dudu's condition, so he suggested that she could try to feed her complementary food with a bottle, so as to avoid the complementary food from spilling all over her body. Eating with a pacifier is quick every time, clean and hygienic, and you can save a lot of time every time you feed a doo.
Dudu's mother heard her friend's suggestion and felt that it was feasible, so she bought a baby bottle, and the effect was really much better, and it didn't appear and she was covered all over her body. After actually trying it, it feels really effective and my body is not dirty.
But after a few months, Dudu's mother began to regret why she always bottle-fed Dudu. So what causes Dudu Mom to regret it?
Dudu has been eating complementary food with a bottle for a long time, so he is very uncomfortable with spoons and other tableware, and he has very poor eating habits when he lies down and eats complementary food for a long time. Because he often eats liquid or semi-liquid food, and uses a feeding bottle, Dudu's chewing ability is very poor, and even his teeth have not developed.
It is not uncommon for many parents to have such misunderstandings when feeding complementary food to their children.
For example, if the rice is too hard, parents will add soup to the rice, thinking that the rice will be soft after this treatment, and the baby will eat more fragrant with a taste.
If you do the same, it will be wrong, if the baby is too small, eats too hard food, it is difficult to chew it completely, it is difficult to digest after swallowing, and it is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach.
Even if the soup is added, it will not make the rice soft, and in the process of eating the baby, the rice is basically swallowed directly along the soup, eliminating the process of chewing, which is more likely to hurt the spleen and stomach.
Therefore, if the baby is still too young, the food should not be too hard, and try to handle it as small, small and soft as possible. When your baby is older, he can chew and then change the shape of the food.
2. Feed first, and then eat complementary food
When the baby adds complementary food, some parents may still be accustomed to letting the baby drink milk first, and then eating complementary food, which is also very unfavorable for the baby to adapt to some complementary food.
Babies have a limited stomach capacity, and if they feed first, there won't be much room for complementary foods. This slows down your baby's adaptation to complementary foods.
When the baby eats complementary food, the correct thing to do is that we should let the baby eat complementary food first. Then after the baby eats complementary food, feed the baby according to the situation, so that it can be more conducive to the baby to quit milk and adapt to the complementary food.
3. Eat more to grow taller and longer
It is common to see some babies with two-thirds of the bowl of rice and only a small amount of dishes. Because mothers think that eating more staple foods can be full, and eggs have the highest nutritional value, so it is enough to eat only these two things every day!
It is true that eating more staple foods is more satiety, and eggs are also very nutritious, but these two foods alone cannot meet all the nutrients needed for the baby's growth and development. In the long run, it can also cause stunted growth.
The dietary guidelines for Chinese residents clearly point out that from the age of 4 to 6 months, babies should gradually add a variety of complementary foods, meat, poultry and fish, grains, vegetables and fruits.
How much do you eat as a staple food?Two fist-sized amounts are enough for a baby's needs.
How much protein to eat?Meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, beans and other protein foods, the baby's intake at each meal is the size of a fist, and the amount should be equivalent to the size and thickness of the palm.
Therefore, carbohydrates (provided by rice) can only maintain food and clothing, but the nutrition of growing tall and long meat needs to be provided by all kinds of meat, milk, eggs, poultry, fruits and vegetables!
4. Eat rice porridge alone
Rice porridge is soft and glutinous, toothless babies are easy to swallow, and some parents only add rice porridge to their babies. But in fact, the nutritional density of rice porridge in Baihuahua is low, and if you eat rice porridge all day long, it is not nutritious enough for the growing and developing baby.
Therefore, it is okay to drink it occasionally, if you take it as a staple food and drink white porridge at a time, the baby's growth curve will definitely not be qualified.
The baby's nutrition should be diversified, and before the development of baby teeth, rice porridge and baby rice noodles can be eaten together. You can also add meat, eggs, vegetables, etc. to rice porridge to increase the nutrient density.
