After the baby adds complementary food, with the increase of time, the types of food that can be eaten increase, so it is necessary to adopt the principle of step by step.

Foods that add meat to babies are usually recommended to start with fish, because it is delicate, followed by poultry and then livestock. Their nutritional components are basically similar, except that fish and poultry meat belong to white meat with higher unsaturated fat content, while livestock meat belongs to red meat with higher saturated fat content and higher iron and zinc content than white meat.

Matters needing attention in adding complementary food

When the baby is 4-6 months old, it is ideal to start adding complementary food for him. Baby teeth and bone development are inseparable from calcium ions. The baby is still relatively young, so it is best to choose calcium, which is easy to absorb and will not affect the baby. The first complementary food to be prepared for the baby is rice noodles. Because rice flour is the least likely to cause infant allergies, its main nutritional component is carbohydrates.

Although breast-feeding should be insisted until the baby reaches 1 year and a half, breast-feeding at this stage is far from meeting the baby's growth and development needs. Therefore, the baby should be supplemented with formula every day. If the complementary food is added normally, the baby should keep drinking 300-500ml of milk every day to meet the needs of growth and development. Egg yolk is the first choice of protein complementary food for babies over 4 months old. It has low allergenicity and is safer than egg white or other protein foods.

Adding meat at the right time can bring a brand-new feeling to the baby both in nutrition and taste. Babies over 6 months old have begun to eat meat and like it.
