When the baby is 4 to 6 months old, mothers begin the "new task" - to prepare baby food. In the process of completing this task, all kinds of information gathered are enough to write a **: what to eat first, then what to eat, when to eat and how to eat. But even so, I didn't know where to start at first.
Some mothers feel that their baby's first bite of complementary food must be eaten by themselves, so they start to make their own rice noodles. However, they ignore the fact that homemade rice noodles lack essential nutrients for babies, such as vitamins, calcium, iron, zinc, etc., of which iron is crucial.
So what exactly should you eat for the first bite of complementary food? How to choose?
Pediatrician Yudi (pediatrician at Jimei District Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, national second-level public nutritionist, and well-known maternal and infant parenting blogger), today I will teach mothers to choose the first bite of complementary food suitable for their babies.
After the baby grows to 4-6 months, the iron from the mother's belly begins to gradually deplete, in the stage of complementary food addition, if you do not pay attention to the intake of iron-containing food, it is easy to cause iron deficiency anemia, resulting in paleness, poor appetite, serious situation and irreversible neurodevelopmental damage, affecting the baby's cognitive learning in the future.
As a simple food, rice flour is very suitable as a baby's first added supplementary food, and the rice flour made at home is not fortified with iron, so mothers should prepare high-iron rice flour for their babies as the baby's first bite of complementary food, especially rice flour rich in bivalent iron that is easier to be directly absorbed by the human body, such as small skin rice flour.
Xiaopi rice flour not only strengthens the good absorption of bivalent iron (ferric fumaline), high iron content, and no salt and sugar, which is the good taste of organic rice, the prepared rice cereal is delicate and smooth, the baby is easy to swallow, and the nutrition is well absorbed. By comparing the ingredient list and the nutritional content list, it can be seen that only 98% of the rice and calcium, iron, zinc, vitamins and other nutrients in the ingredient list of small skin rice noodles are not added, and common food allergens such as milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, soybeans, nuts, wheat and other common food allergens that are easy to cause baby allergies are added, and the addition is better absorption of bivalent iron, which is very suitable as a baby's first bite of complementary food.
The small rice flour is delicate and easy to brew. Use the 5g rice noodle spoon given by Xiaopi, first put a level spoon of rice noodles and then put 30 degrees 50 degrees of water milk, stir in the same direction and let stand for 30 to 60 seconds, so that the rice noodles can fully absorb water or milk, which will be easier to dissolve, and for novice mothers, you can soak a bowl of delicate iron rice noodles in two minutes.
After eating delicate and well-absorbed rice flour such as small skin rice flour and wheat germ brown rice grain powder, you can start eating rice flour containing chewable small particles at about 7 months of age, such as small skin quinoa multi-grain flour and blueberry seven kinds of grain flour.
Wheat germ brown rice cereal flour is composed of wheat germ, which is super nutritious, containing more than 50 kinds of nutrients required by the human body, condensing 97% of the nutritional value of wheat, escorting the rapid growth of the baby.
There are small quinoa particles in the rice flour of various grains, which become soft when brewed, and this soft particle can exercise the baby's chewing and swallowing, which is conducive to the development of oral muscles and teeth.
Small skin quinoa multi-grain flour suitable for babies from 7 months onwards.
The small peel blueberry multi-grain flour contains wild organic blueberries from Canada, which are transformed into blueberry particles in rice flour through roller drying technology, which retains the natural high nutrition and good taste of wild organic blueberries to the greatest extent. The texture of the blueberry multi-grain rice flour is thick, because of the good taste of blueberries, so that the rice noodles without added sugar also have the sweetness of the fruit.
A variety of cereal flours for small blueberries, suitable for babies over 7 months old.
The baby's first bite of complementary food, how to choose, I believe that mothers have learned, the following is an advanced map of rice noodles, remember to collect.
