It was not long before the baby was added with complementary food for more than 7 months, and many foods were still in the "experimental" stage.
With the variety of foods that the baby can contact, Bao Ma can make mixed complementary food with rice paste and vegetables for the baby to enrich the nutrition in the rice paste.
Like the picture above, it is rice paste made of carrots, rice and millet.
Tips:
1) Rice soaked for more than 2 hours is more likely to be finely beaten. (the cooking machine at home can be done! )
2) Root vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes and yams should be steamed first, then beaten into rice paste with rice, and finally boiled or steamed in water to make rice paste.
3) Blanch the leafy vegetables with water first, so as to remove the pesticides left in the vegetables and the oxalic acid often brought by leafy vegetables.
The baby has added complementary food, so the mother can try to add meat to the baby!
It's just that when making, the mother has to make the meat into paste for the baby, and the finer the meat is, the easier it is to be digested!
Tips:
For babies who haven't added meat, mom should add it from a small amount! When the baby gets used to it, gradually add more!
Of course, a 7-month-old baby may not be able to eat so much meat at once, so the mother can gradually increase the amount of meat and let the baby adapt as soon as possible. Also let the baby's stomach adapt as soon as possible!
A baby who teethes early will teether in 4 months. Babies with late teething also have 12 months to have two teeth.
But the number of teeth does not mean that the baby does not need to grind his teeth!
If you find that the baby has the following performance, it means that the baby needs to grind his teeth:
1) The baby will keep biting.
2) The baby drools a lot.
3) The baby cries for no reason, and it is not easy to coax.
tip:
When my baby was 6 months old and I took him to the physical examination, the doctor suggested that I add rice flour supplemented with "calcium, iron and zinc" to my baby!
In fact, now that I think about it, I don't agree with this practice.
The reason for adding calcium, iron and zinc rice flour is "the baby grows fast", but what is the basis? How much is added and what is it?
The nutritional content of rice flour refers to the full nutrition in our daily diet!
In this case, of course, adding fresh fruits and vegetables is far better than the products after various processing-calcium, iron and zinc rice noodles.
Therefore, mothers should try to diversify their baby's complementary food, so as to meet the baby's growth needs!
Because of regional differences, the types of vegetables in the north and south are not the same. Mom can arrange complementary food for her baby according to seasonal vegetables:
Of course, the baby who is more than 7 months old is mainly muddy and mushy food! Baby's daily food is so matched that it is difficult to lack nutrition!
Recommend these complementary food recipes for your reference:

7-month-old babies are generally in the second month of adding complementary food, and the complementary food characteristics are mainly muddy; There are relatively few kinds of complementary foods that can be added, mainly rice noodles, vegetables, fruits and meat; No matter what kind of ingredients, you should try a small amount for the first time, and then continue to add them after confirming that there are no adverse reactions.
The practice of complementary food is similar to the several complementary food practices I recommended above. Mothers only need to mix ingredients in a diversified way when their children can eat without allergies, and then make adjustments to the complementary food characteristics according to the baby's digestion and absorption.
These are my answers, and I hope they will help you.
The 7-month-old baby needs to continue breastfeeding or formula milk, but the nutrients in it can no longer meet the baby's growth and development, so it is necessary to add complementary food to meet the body's needs. When adding complementary food, pay attention to:
1. Types range from single to complex.
It is best to add complementary food in the order of starch, vegetables, fruits and meat, so that the baby's stomach can gradually adapt.
2. The quantity is from less to more
When adding complementary food at the beginning, add a certain kind of food first, and it must be a small amount at the first time, and gradually increase after the child adapts.
3. From thin to thick
Because the growth and development of the baby's digestive system and teeth are not very mature, rice flour, rice paste, vegetable juice, fruit juice, egg yolk, etc. are added at first, and then thick rice flour, vegetable puree, fruit puree and meat puree are added after adaptation.
After the baby adds complementary food for a period of time, you can consider enriching the types of complementary food, but the most important thing is to ensure both nutrition and easy digestion and absorption. I recommend several complementary foods that my baby has eaten:
1. Carrot rice noodle paste
Raw materials: a short piece of carrot, rice flour and water.
Practice: 1. Wash and slice carrots.
2. Add water to the pot and steam the carrots.
3. Press carrots into mud, add a small amount of warm water, and then add rice flour to paste.
Highlight: Carrots are rich in B vitamins, which play an important role in baby's vision development.
* Except carrots, purple potatoes, yams, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. are all acceptable, and each has its own nutrition.
2. Yam rice paste
Raw materials: yam, millet and water.
Practice: 1. Peel and cut the yam, and wash the millet for later use.
2. Pour the yam and millet into high-speed blender and press the rice paste button. After about 20 minutes, the fragrant yam rice paste is ready.
Highlight: invigorating spleen and stomach, nourishing blood and benefiting brain.
* 1. Chinese yam can also be replaced by carrots, potatoes, purple potatoes, pumpkins and sweet potatoes, and millet can also be replaced by rice, black rice, cereal, etc. In addition, red dates and red beans can be added, and the ingredients can be freely matched.
2. If there is no high-speed blender, you can cook the ingredients together and smash them with a juicer to make them as delicate as possible.
3. Rotten noodles with tomatoes
Ingredients: a handful of baby noodles, a tomato, an egg yolk, and appropriate amount of water.
Practice: 1. Blanch tomatoes with hot water, peel them and mash them.
2. Add water to the pot to boil, break the baby noodles into pieces and put them into the water. After boiling, pour in the tomato paste, cook until soft and rotten, add the egg yolk, and turn off the heat and take out the pot.
Highlight: Tomatoes are rich in vitamins, minerals, organic acids, etc., which can not only supplement vitamins, but also help digestion and regulate baby's stomach.
* Besides tomatoes, you can also use other vegetable purees or meat purees.
Generally speaking, complementary food should be balanced in nutrition, avoid being too single, prevent the baby from anorexia, and at the same time be soft and easy to absorb. Only when you eat good complementary food can you ensure your baby's good health, you must pay more attention.
Hello, I'm Bei Ma Daiwa, and I'm glad to answer your question.
My two babies started to add complementary food when they were about 6 months old, from high-iron rice flour to egg yolk, steamed egg soup, all kinds of vegetable paste, fruit paste and meat paste. By about 7 months old, the baby's complementary food has become very regular.
1, egg soup
7-month-old babies can eat whole eggs, beat the eggs into a bowl, cover the plate or cover with plastic wrap and steam for about ten minutes.
2, rice flour+egg yolk
Add cooked egg yolk into the prepared rice flour, press the egg yolk into mud and stir the rice flour evenly.
3, millet porridge+pumpkin puree
Press the steamed pumpkin into mud and put it into the boiled millet porridge to mix. Pumpkin is rich in minerals, amino acids, pectin, polysaccharides and other nutrients.
4, rice porridge+broccoli paste
Tear broccoli into small flowers, wash them, scald them in boiling water, put them into a grinding bowl and press them into mud, and mix them with boiled rice porridge to make them sticky.
Broccoli is rich in VC,VK, antioxidants and so on, which can prevent baby constipation.
5, Xiaomi carrot porridge
Wash carrots, slice them, steam them, press them into mud, and put them into boiled millet porridge.
In short, porridge is a versatile combination. You can make all kinds of vegetable purees and put them into porridge to feed your baby directly.
6, fruit purees, such as bananas and apples, are cut into pieces and put into a cooking machine to be directly mashed for the baby.
7, minced meat or floss meat
After the fish or pork, beef, shrimp, etc. are fully cooked, put them in a cooking machine, add a proper amount of warm water, and beat them into a paste. The absorption rate of iron, zinc and other minerals and trace elements in meat is very high in human body, which meets the nutrition needed by infants in the process of growth and development. Fish and shrimp meat has few fiber components, fresh and tender meat, easy to digest and absorb, and high content of EPA and DHA, which is very important for the development and perfection of infant real-life system.
8, noodles+pork liver mud
Pig liver contains a lot of iron, and eating pig liver mud often can prevent iron deficiency anemia in babies.
With the gradual eruption of baby's teeth, the baby's ability to chew food is getting stronger and stronger, and his gastrointestinal function is also more perfect. He can also slowly transform muddy food into chopped vegetables and meat, gradually increasing from a small amount to enhance his teeth chewing and swallowing ability.
1, 7-month-old babies should eat breast milk or milk powder while adding complementary food, and the daily milk quantity must be guaranteed to be about 500ml.
2. Babies in this period are easy to get used to various tastes, and try to make the baby's nutrition balanced.
Avoid giving your baby too dry or sticky food, which will make your baby choke or choke.
3. The most important thing to add complementary food is to eat natural and fresh ingredients directly.
Do not add any condiments such as sugar, salt, soy sauce, cooking soup, monosodium glutamate, etc., so as not to cause baby's metabolic problems and affect taste development.
Bei Ma's neighbor's baby is 7 months old. When adults eat at the table, they often tear some steamed bread and dip it in vegetable soup for the baby to eat. Bei Ma also specially communicated with the child's mother. 1 year-old babies are not allowed to eat salt, which is easy to burden the baby's kidneys.
4, the amount of complementary food added should cooperate with the baby's milk consumption, there is no absolute index.
My baby's complementary food is usually added about 2-3 hours after the baby drinks milk.
Bei Ma concluded that adding complementary food to the baby should be done slowly, not too much at one time. After adapting to one complementary food, add the second one, and try different taste combinations to ensure the baby's nutrition.
The growth and development of babies over 7 months have begun to tend to be flat. According to the stages of supplementary food addition, it has changed from the initial supplementary food of 4-6 months to the mid-term supplementary food of July-September, which makes the supplementary food different from the initial supplementary food. Therefore, infants over 7 months old must be supplemented with complementary food according to the developmental characteristics of infants in this period.
Starch complementary food can provide energy for the growth and development of infants over 7 months old, and can train their swallowing and chewing ability.
Starch complementary foods suitable for babies over 7 months old mainly include: milk bread porridge, rice porridge, noodles, potatoes, macaroni and so on.
Protein is the material basis of life, which can provide energy for the baby's growth and development, maintain the immune system and prevent anemia.
Protein complementary foods suitable for babies over 7 months old mainly include beans, chicken, fish, tofu, cheese and egg yolk.
Vitamins are important nutrients needed in the process of baby's growth and development. For example, vitamin A is the patron saint of baby's eyes, vitamin D is beneficial to baby's growth and height, vitamin K is involved in baby's bone metabolism, and B vitamins are the energy source of baby. Therefore, more than 7 months old babies must add complementary foods to supplement vitamins.
Babies over 7 months old begin to sprout small teeth, and calcium needs to be supplemented during tooth development. At the same time, the growth of baby's height needs calcium supplementation. Therefore, more than 7 months old infants must add calcium-supplemented food when adding complementary food.
Supplementary foods for calcium supplementation include tofu paste, tofu cabbage porridge, fish paste, pork liver paste, egg yolk paste and so on.
Babies over 7 months old usually have dry stools and constipation. Therefore, dietary fiber should be properly added to complementary food. However, dietary fiber is difficult to digest, and the gastrointestinal function of babies over 7 months is not perfect, which makes it inappropriate to add more, otherwise it will lead to indigestion.
Milk-flavored sweet potato paste: Sweet potato is not only rich in dietary fiber, but also contains carotene, vitamins and minerals (potassium, iron, copper, selenium, calcium, etc.), which is the champion of "Top Ten Best Vegetables". Take sweet potato 1 piece and put it into a blender and stir it into a paste, then mix the milk powder, pour it into the sweet potato paste, stir it evenly with the blender again, pour it out and serve.
In addition, carrots and pumpkins are also rich in dietary fiber, and they can also be made into corresponding mud-like complementary foods according to the practice of milky sweet potato paste. Apples and pears in fruits are also rich in dietary fiber, and pulp can also be stirred into paste with a blender or squeezed into juice for baby to eat.
In a word, there are a lot of complementary foods for babies over 7 months old. You can refer to the above-mentioned complementary foods to add them flexibly, and keep adding a new complementary food for about 5 days to maintain the baby's nutritional balance as much as possible.

If you want to know what complementary foods a 7-month-old baby can eat, then we must understand the rules and precautions of food conversion for children at different months:
After 6 months, the baby's growth, development and digestive ability are gradually improving, and pure milk feeding can't completely satisfy him, so the process of changing from pure milk liquid food to solid food is called food conversion process, also called complementary food addition.
So what should we pay attention to when adding complementary food?
1, breast milk can not be broken
7-month-old baby, even if the child eats complementary food, at least 800 ml of milk is guaranteed every day.
2. Consider three aspects: nutrients, nutritional behavior and nutritional environment.
At this time, the baby changes from liquid food to solid food. In the process of feeding, not only the intake of nutrients, but also the feeding and eating behavior and the eating environment should be considered, so that the baby can develop good eating habits while obtaining adequate and balanced nutrition.
3, you can eat high-density nutrient fortified food.
At this time, children can supplement their nutrition with high-density nutrient fortified foods based on soybean grains, such as adding cereal rice flour.
How to add complementary food?
1, age
At the beginning, it is best to introduce non-dairy mushy food in about 6 months, and not more than 4 months at the earliest. If the child's daily milk intake is stable and grows well at this time, it means that he has digestive function and can accept other foods.
2. Types
At the age of 6 months, you should choose cereals that can meet the baby's growth needs, are easy to absorb, and are not easy to produce allergies. It is best to strengthen the original iron rice flour, etc., and root vegetables and fruits can also be introduced. At this time, it is best to feed with a spoon to train the child's swallowing function.
At 7-9 months, the second-stage food will be gradually introduced, including animal foods such as meat, eggs, fish and bean products. Of course, when introducing other foods, it is best to take local foods as the basis, and pay attention to the diversity of food texture, nutritional value, hygiene and preparation methods.
10- 12 months old, you can add animal liver, animal blood, fish and shrimp, chicken and duck meat, beef and mutton, etc. to the baby, cut these foods into cubes or chop them up, and let the baby eat with a spoon.
3. Methods
At this time, the baby is getting used to the food gradually. We should introduce more food from less to more, and gradually increase the weight. For example, if you feed the baby rice noodles, add them from 1-2 spoonfuls first, and then gradually reach the weight of a meal; The same is true for varieties, starting with a single species and then slowly diversifying.
In the process of children's eating, we must pay attention to the fact that the atmosphere of family eating together will affect children's eating, and it is better to cultivate children's good eating habits in a relaxed and pleasant environment.
1. What are the dietary characteristics of a seven-month-old baby?
Seven-month-old babies, many of whom are teething, can try to give them cookies and baked steamed bread slices to practice their chewing ability and exercise their teeth at the same time. Liver mud that I dare not eat for 6 months can now be tried for my baby.
2. What complementary foods are suitable for a seven-month-old baby?
Breastfed babies continue to breastfeed, and babies who eat formula milk should continue to eat formula milk, but complementary food should be added more than twice a day. Babies in this period are easy to get used to different tastes. It is recommended to choose one of the following four kinds of foods to make the baby's nutrition balanced as much as possible:
1) starch: bread porridge, rice porridge, noodles, potatoes, macaroni, cereal, hot spots and so on.
2) protein: egg yolk, chicken, fish, tofu, cheese, beans and so on.
3) Vegetables and fruits: All kinds of vegetables and fruits will do.
4) Oils: butter, vegetable oil and so on. You can also add some seaweed food.
5) cookies, bread and so on can be added to snacks.
3. What should I pay attention to when adding complementary food for seven-month-old infants?
After seven months, the baby not only has a natural desire for foods other than breast milk or formula milk, but also has different requirements for food taste, and begins to be interested in salty foods.
1) No matter whether you eat breast milk or formula milk, at this time, the baby's staple food is still mainly milk, and milk substitute food can only be used as a trial feed for the baby to practice eating.
2) Add semi-solid food, such as rice porridge or noodles, only once a day. The nutritional value of porridge is much lower than that of formula milk and human milk. In addition, porridge or noodles can only be added once a day, and they should be made into egg yolk porridge, fish porridge, minced meat porridge, and liver porridge for the baby to eat.
3) Pay attention to the baby's weight, and weigh the baby every 10 day. If the weight gain is not ideal, the milk quantity cannot be reduced. If you gain weight normally, you can stop feeding breast milk or formula milk once.
