When the baby is 6 months old, gastrointestinal amylase and various digestive enzymes have matured, which means that the baby's digestion and absorption function is ready. At this time, you can start to add complementary food to your baby to help exercise your gastrointestinal function and ensure that your baby gets enough nutrition and grows up healthily.

A vegetable soup

When adding vegetable supplements to your baby, it is recommended to choose a single vegetable soup at first. Remember, don't add seasoning when making soup. Many vegetables are suitable for vegetable juice, such as carrots, spinach, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, amaranth and so on. Mothers can choose fresh vegetables according to the season.

Exclusive breastfeeding or formula milk

In order to ensure the baby's best growth, exclusive breastfeeding should last for at least 6 months. Breast milk can meet all the nutritional needs of a baby 6 months ago, including water. Similarly, formula milk can also be used as a substitute for breast milk to meet the nutritional needs of babies.

Gradually introduce complementary food

When the baby is 6 months old, it is the best time to start trying different foods. At this time, the baby's digestive system and the nutritional status of breast milk are important factors considered by experts. Conditional mothers had better exclusively breastfeed their babies until they are 6 months old, and then gradually introduce complementary food. If you can't continue exclusive breastfeeding for some reason, please make sure to decide whether to add complementary food in advance according to the doctor's advice.
