4 principles of baby food supplements

1.From one to many. Try feeding a new food, observe how your baby reacts after eating, and let him get used to it before trying another. It usually takes 7-10 days for a new food to get used to. Trying too many varieties at once can lead to intolerance or gastrointestinal disturbances in infants.

Each new food may be tried several times before it is accepted by the baby, and if you have indigestion, you should stop the complementary food and wait until it returns to normal, and then start with the initial amount or less.

2.From small to moderate amounts. Newly added foods to try should start with a small amount and gradually increase in increments. For example, add egg yolks, start with 1 4 and gradually increase to 1 3-1 2 in 3-5 days, and then increase to 1 in 1-2 weeks.

3.From thin to thick. The same food should be fed in a thinner form and gradually thickened. For example, when you first add rice noodles, you can make it thinner to make it easier for your baby to swallow.

4.From fine to coarse. When trying to feed solid food, start with a soft, semi-solid food, which can be made into juice or puree to facilitate swallowing. As baby teeth erupt, chewing becomes more and the food gradually thickens.

Even if infants and young children already have several baby teeth, their chewing ability is still poor, so foods containing a lot of crude fiber and foods that cannot be bitten must be chopped, boiled, and ground before they can be fed to infants and young children.
