I believe that many novice mothers feel that they have no clue and no direction during the transition period when their babies are exposed to non-staple food.
Not even sure whether this decision is correct, Vivian dare not say that my method must be the most accurate.
Because each baby's physiological development process is different,
Mother should carefully observe what the baby is suitable for now, and don't be trapped by standard dogma.
For example, the older generation said that they should wait for the baby for six months before feeding non-staple food.
But modern children develop faster,
Sometimes I waited for half a year to breastfeed, and missed the opportunity to supplement non-staple food nutrition.
So Vivian takes Feifei's experience of eating non-staple food as a reference for mothers.
It is better to believe in books than to have no books, but my first child was really raised by books.
However, what is said in the book will be adjusted according to Feifei's personality and current situation.
The book I refer to says that the baby can give non-staple food according to the situation after three months.
(This is very different from the general cognition of giving non-staple food for six months! ),
The pediatrician at the Yuezi Center where I live also said,
It takes about four months to give the baby fresh juice or a little table food.
This is also different from what everyone knows.
So many past practices are out of date now.
Mom still has to be able to judge for herself.
Because Feifei is a formula baby, according to Vivian's standards, formula milk is also a processed food.
So I made up my mind from the beginning that it was best to connect the real prototype food early.
It happened that Feifei's lactation period came early and intensively, and she encountered the second lactation period within three and a half months.
I just took advantage of breast fatigue to let Feifei taste her mother's favorite dishes.
The calculation in my mind is that if she can't accept it and is not forced, she will try without pressure.
I didn't expect Feifei's porridge to be famous! Feifei is only three and a half months old at this time ~
And because she sleeps ten hours at night and only eats four meals of milk a day,
So I think it is necessary to supplement non-staple food, so that calories and nutrition will be enough.
I pay great attention to the nutrition of ingredients because
At first, I naturally withdrew milk, because I didn't have the confidence to be a breast-feeding mother.
But I also hope that the baby can be as healthy as a breast-fed baby.
That's why I hope to get in touch with non-staple food early. After all, milk is for cows, not for people.
In my heart, I really admire my wet nurse. She is really great.
If the baby drinks breast milk and eats comprehensive and nutritious non-staple food,
Then I think that is the luckiest baby in the world!
Feifei is a mixed period of milk and porridge from the beginning.
Vivian believes that rice paste, refined rice and rice flour brewed commercially are all processed foods.
Formula milk is already a processed food, so I'll start with ten times porridge as a non-staple food!
When cooked, beat it into rice paste with a stirring rod. )
Feifei's diet for three and a half months is as follows:
0800 drink milk 120ML-play games-sleep.
1200 Eat 30ML+ of porridge+drink formula milk first until Feifei stops drinking automatically, which is about 90ml- play games-sleep.
1600 drinking milk 120ML-playing games-sleeping
2000 milk 120ML-sleep
(After a period of observation, 30ML of porridge can cover about 40CC of milk, about yo! )
After four days of trying, Feifei adapted to all aspects of her stomach well.
On the first day, because of her inexperience, it was the first time that Feifei came into contact with eating tools other than pacifiers.
So she was a little at a loss, and she wanted to drink milk because she was hungry, and she was a little upset when eating porridge.
So the next day, I fed some milk first to make Feifei not hungry first.
She has the patience to adapt to the taste of spoons and porridge.
In a few days, it will be no problem to change back to eating porridge first and then drinking formula milk ~
Four days later, a new dish, 30ML carrot puree, was added.
So the lunch at noon is 30ML carrot paste +30 ml ten times porridge, and then drink milk until you are full.
(The problem that carrot paste easily makes baby constipated has never happened, because Feifei has been eating lactic acid bacteria every day since the full moon. Please refer to vivian0002000.pix./blog/post/159944822 for sharing lactic acid bacteria. )
After carrot paste, onion paste with ten times of porridge, Qingjiang vegetable paste with ten times of porridge, four days each,
Finding that the baby has a strong adaptability, Feifei gradually got used to the spoon.
After eating 60ML, you will look like you want to eat again, so I increased the serving to 90ML.
But because I want Feifei to eat as many different kinds of ingredients as possible.
In this way, we can be less restricted in designing recipes in the future.
So I use 60ML old dishes with porridge and 30ML new dishes.
60ML contains 10 times porridge 30ML and puree 30ML, which is a mixture of eaten dishes.
For example, green leafy vegetables such as Qingjiang cuisine and Chinese cabbage are slowly adjusted to increase the weight of flying porridge.
In other words, the more milk she drinks, the less she drinks.
When she can eat 150ML porridge and drink 20~30 ml milk every meal, she stops drinking.
It doesn't matter if you don't drink milk automatically ~ it's equivalent to giving up milk for a meal!
So next, the mother's job is to increase the baby's appetite for porridge, but also to increase the number of meals.
At this point, Feifei can eat 170ML of porridge in one meal.
Compared with the previous milk meal, I just want to drink 120CC.
Obviously, she is an adult and likes to eat adult food! Feifei is about four and a half months old now.
Change the milk directly into porridge at four o'clock in the afternoon, and then drink milk after eating porridge.
After observing the situation for several days, I stopped drinking after drinking for 20 to 30 minutes.
I feel that Feifei doesn't seem to have any attachment to grandma, so I'll take another milk break!
This wait is five months. Drink milk before breakfast and porridge for lunch and dinner.
This situation continued until Feifei started eating meat, fish and egg yolk for seven months.
At this time, the amount of food per meal has automatically increased to 250ML of porridge.
Before that, Feifei had eaten vegetable porridge for three and a half months.
So most of the dishes have been listed as safe ingredients, and I think it's time to eat meat.
Gradually, the baby's eating habits will be closer and closer to adults.
So I also decided to change the breakfast directly to porridge on the day of eating meat.
Observing Feifei's reaction, I don't miss grandma at all. It's good to save money for mom's milk powder ~
Starting from seven months, I will eat porridge for three meals and drink milk before going to bed until I am full.
The above is the process of Feifei's three meals changing from full formula milk to porridge.
Everything is connected very smoothly,
Now my mother doesn't give up breast milk before going to bed, and I can't bear to part with it myself.
I always feel that the baby looks so cute with a bottle ~ it looks like a baby without a bottle.
Eat fish and egg yolk for seven months, and start eating pork, chicken and beef for eight months.
I can use more and more materials on the menu.
Next, I will share Vivian's diet concept of designing a menu for Feifei.
Just sharing ideas,
If mothers agree with this concept and idea, the ingredients in the menu can be changed at will.
The premise is that your baby has tried at least 10 kinds of ingredients!
Vivian's diet concept is designed from a nutritional point of view, and then it must be delicious.
The ratio of vegetables, rice, meat and fruit is 3:3:3:2, as taught in the centennial book.
In other words, if vegetables, porridge and meat are 30ML each, the fruit is 20ML. Make different ice bricks separately.
I hope Feifei can eat ten kinds of ingredients in every bite, and the nutrition is fully balanced.
Just like adults taking multivitamins,
It's just that I make multi-dimensional ice bricks for my baby with natural ingredients.
But if I do it now, it will be too much trouble to deal with ten kinds of ingredients, so I cook it for seven days at a time.
Pick one day a week to be tired. After processing all the ingredients, you can relax for six days
There is little busy time in the kitchen every day, and the time saved is used to play with Feifei.
For me, I think every meal must be based on basic nutrition.
The so-called basic nutrition comes from plants, leafy vegetables and beans.
There are minerals, vitamins, lecithin, plant protein and so on, which are too important for the development of baby's brain and nerve cells all over the body.
So I always have some basic nutrition ice bricks (that is, comprehensive vitamin ice bricks) in my refrigerator.
The ingredients of basic nutritional ice bricks can be changed at any time, and there are about eight ingredients that can be used. Take my home as an example:
Keywords cabbage, Chinese cabbage, Qingjiang cabbage, spinach, sweet potato leaves,
Flammulina velutipes, auricularia auricula, red cabbage, onion, green beans, etc.
