In order to meet the developmental needs of 9-month-old babies, complementary foods need to be added appropriately. Daily diet reference, milk intake 600 ml, cereals 40 70 grams, egg yolk 1, meat 25 75 grams, vegetables and fruits more than 50 grams, oil 5 10 grams, no need to add salt and other condiments. When adding food types to your baby, be patient and gradual to develop your baby's chewing and receptivity to new tastes.
For specific food selection, please refer to egg custard, pork liver, rice cereal, lean porridge, vegetable porridge, rice porridge, fish soup, pork rib noodles and small wontons, etc., with as little oil and salt as possible, and the food should be kept delicate for easy feeding. At the same time, at 22 o'clock at night, breast milk or formula milk is still the mainstay.
It is worth noting that at the stage when the baby gradually learns to crawl, you can try to eat with **, but the food needs to be light. If your baby's appetite is abnormal or his appetite decreases, it is recommended to seek guidance from a pediatrician in time. The addition of complementary food is generally about six months old, but please be sure to consider the factors that the gastrointestinal function is not yet perfect, and do not add it too early or too late.
Parents also need to make a reasonable feeding plan for each baby according to the actual situation, and avoid relying solely on the age of the month to judge. Observing your baby's ability to swallow and how much they like food is also key. Usually, when your baby is able to sit independently with a stable head, can hold a small spoon in his hand, and shows a keen interest in solid foods, it is the best time to add complementary foods.
Of course, in the process of adding complementary food, we should firmly grasp the principle of from less to more, from one to many, from thin to thick, from fine to thick, step by step, so that the baby can slowly adapt. At the same time, you must pay attention to any adverse reactions of the baby, and stop adding it immediately if there is any discomfort.
All in all, the addition of complementary food should be carefully planned according to the individual differences of the baby to ensure the healthy growth of the baby. First of all, according to the baby's current age and required nutrition, the appropriate complementary food should be appropriately selected. For babies under one year old, the best complementary food is undoubtedly breast milk or formula milk; If breast milk** is insufficient, formula milk can be used to make up for it. As the baby grows up, you can gradually introduce pasty and pureed foods, such as rice cereal, vegetable puree, fruit puree, and so on. When choosing complementary foods, you should read the ingredient list and nutrition facts list carefully, choose natural ingredients without additives, and control the intake of sugar and salt.
Secondly, you need to pay attention to the taste and texture of complementary foods, because this directly affects the acceptance of the baby. For example, sweet and easy-to-eat foods like bananas, carrots, and potatoes are suitable for your baby's taste. Delicate fish and poultry, on the other hand, need to be treated to make them easier for babies to chew and swallow. Parents can choose complementary foods with appropriate texture and taste according to the actual ability and preference of the baby's oral muscles.
Again, it's important to keep in mind your baby's allergy history so that you can choose the right complementary food for your baby. For babies who have experienced allergies, especially those with allergies, you need to avoid ingredients that are easy to cause allergies. In addition, some families may have lactose absorption problems, so products containing low lactose should be paid attention to when choosing complementary foods.
Finally, in the process of adding complementary foods, parents must pay close attention to the baby's reaction. Once diarrhea, vomiting, redness and swelling and other symptoms suspected of aversion to a certain food are found, the supply of the complementary food should be suspended immediately and a professional physician should be consulted. Through careful care, as the baby gradually adapts, parents can gradually increase the variety and intake of complementary foods, and then guide the baby to gradually contact more delicious food.
