Why can't the baby add complementary food too early? It's about children's health, and new mothers have long understood it.
Some parents feed their babies with rice soup, rice paste or milk cake from the 23rd week of their children's birth, regardless of whether the breast milk is sufficient or not. They think that this semi-solid cereal is more nutritious and hunger-resistant than the mother's milk. In fact, this is an unscientific practice.
Although breast milk looks thin, it actually contains more nutrients and energy than rice paste and milk cake, and its quality is higher. Especially for infants within 3 months, the ability to digest cereal is not perfect, and it is not suitable for eating rice and flour foods. Phytic acid in cereal foods will combine with iron in breast milk, which will affect the absorption of iron in breast milk and easily cause anemia in infants.
When to add complementary food to children?
Time and steps of adding complementary food (4 stages)
1 3 months: Juicy food, such as fruit juice, vegetable soup, rice soup, cod liver oil and calcium.
4 6 months: Muddy food, such as rice paste, gruel, egg yolk, fish paste, vegetable paste and fruit paste.
7 9 months: terminal food, such as porridge, rotten noodles, chopped vegetables, eggs, fish, liver sludge, minced meat, tofu, biscuits, steamed bread slices, bread slices, cooked potatoes, taro and so on.
10 12 months: broken food, such as porridge, soft rice, rotten noodles, bean products, broken vegetables, minced meat, stuffed food, etc.
1-2 years old can be weaned, but attention should still be paid to the supply of other milk, and children should be provided with enough food to ensure their normal growth and development.
What matters should parents pay special attention to when adding complementary food?
(1) starts from a small amount and gradually increases. When the child is willing to eat and can digest normally, it will gradually increase. If the child refuses to eat, don't feed it reluctantly. You can feed it after 2 3 days.
(2) complementary food should be gradually increased from thin to dry, from fine to thick, from soft to hard, from light to thick, so that children can have a gradual adaptation process.
(3) according to the season and the child's physical condition to add complementary food, and to increase one by one, gradually to a variety. If the child's stool changes abnormally, the increase should be suspended until it returns to normal. In addition, in the hot summer and when the child is in poor health, don't add complementary food to avoid discomfort for the child.
(4) complementary food should be added when the child is hungry before breastfeeding, so that the child can easily accept it. With the gradual increase of complementary food, it can gradually transition from replacing half a meal of milk every day to replacing one meal of milk.
(5) Pay attention to hygiene. Baby tableware should be fixed and dedicated. Besides careful washing, it should be disinfected daily. When feeding, parents should not blow and feed with their mouths, let alone chew in their own mouths before spitting and feeding them to their babies. This practice is extremely unsanitary and it is easy to spread the disease to children.
(6) Parents should be patient when feeding baby complementary food, and try to make children interested in food.
