I like to cook congee, I also like to cook congee for the children at home to drink, especially now this cold winter, drink a bowl of congee, don't mention how warm. Neighboring moms and dads are envious of my baby's warm congee every day, and I often hear neighboring moms and dads complaining that my child just won't drink congee. There are a few small months of age, the baby has reached the supplemental food added to the middle and late, but on the rice porridge this kind of supplemental food is still not willing to open mouth to eat.
In fact, the benefits of giving your baby some porridge from time to time are many. Porridge is more suitable for the baby's stomach, because of the long boiling time, porridge is very soft, will not stimulate the baby's stomach; at the same time it is also a good helper to exercise the baby's chewing ability, especially just want to transition from the mud-like complementary food to a small amount of granular complementary food for babies, the transition with rice porridge is the best.
It's good to give your baby congee, but I don't advocate giving your baby congee all the time, especially white rice congee. Because of the low nutritional density of white rice porridge, water content and large, the baby ate not a few mouthfuls on the full stomach. This way to meet the baby complementary food "high nutrition, small volume" characteristics, and rice porridge in addition to rich carbohydrates can provide energy, other nutrients are relatively small.
That way is not to give the baby to drink porridge? Or what to drink if you don't drink white rice porridge?
