Corn is a more common food crop, and it can be seen in both coastal areas and North China. Therefore, corn has become an important source of nutrients in our daily lives. Many people like to drink corn paste to increase nutrients. However, the baby's gastrointestinal tract is relatively delicate, so can the baby eat polenta?

Maize paste is a food that is easier to digest and absorb, and babies can also take it. Generally, babies can begin to eat complementary foods after six months. After a period of adaptation, they can gradually drink some cornstarch in small amounts at seven months. Mothers should note that although cornstarch is very easy to digest, it is not suitable for babies under seven months old, otherwise it will increase gastrointestinal pressure and cause diarrhea.

Baby over seven months old drinking some cornstarch in an appropriate amount has many benefits to the human body and can promote the baby's physical and mental health. Corn is a miscellaneous grain, contains more vitamins and nutrients, and contains sufficient dietary fiber. Taking cornstarch for babies can not only supplement vitamins, but also prevent severe constipation.

The amount increases from small to large, and the material changes from thin to wide. The initial amount of food may only be 1 spoon, and the amount is gradually increased to allow the baby to have a process of adaptation. The food is made of juice or puree and is swallowed slowly. When the baby has molar teeth, the food selection may be a bit thick and hard, such as eating chopped vegetables to train the baby's biting ability.

Don’t force your baby to eat. If your baby doesn’t want to eat some food, you can change their living habits. For example, you can give your baby a new drink when their mouth is dry and a new food when they are hungry.

Although cornstarch is good, mothers also need to pay attention to feeding their babies appropriately. Overfeeding can also be harmful to physical and mental health. Because cornstarch has high sugar content, overfeeding can easily cause stomach discomfort in babies. In more serious cases, it can cause diarrhea, nausea and vomiting and other stomach discomforts. When giving cornstarch to your baby, you also need to pay attention to ensure that the cornstarch is fully boiled, so that it is easier to digest.
